Parking at Kos Airport
The car park at Kos is beside the terminal, open-air and a minute from the doors, and it is calmer than at most Greek island airports because the island’s visitors do not drive themselves to the airport: they are collected by coaches and taxis, and hire cars are returned to the rental lots. Its users are islanders flying to Athens and the staff, so a space is almost always free.
Antimachia sits on a windy plateau and the car park has no shade; a sunshade is worth packing if the car stays for a week.

Drop-off and pick-up
The forecourt belongs to the transfer coaches on Saturdays; private cars stop briefly and move on. To meet a flight, use the car park’s free first 10 minutes. Charter arrivals into Kos come in evening waves and the delays come with them; the live arrivals board here will tell you whether to leave Kos Town yet.
Alternatives in Antimachia
Demand for long-stay parking on Kos is small, so there are only a few private options: a couple of fenced lots in Antimachia village with a short shuttle, and the rental companies’ own yards for their customers. Islanders leaving for a fortnight tend to use the airport car park or leave the car with family. The airport has no involvement in private services.
