About Kithira Island National Airport
Kithira Island National Airport, also known as Alexandros Aristotelous Onassis Airport, is the main airport serving the Greek island of Kythira. Opened in 1972, it provides the island's most reliable year-round air link with mainland Greece, particularly Athens.
The airport sits in the central-northeastern part of the island near the village of Fratsia, around 20 km from the capital Chora and a short drive from the port of Diakofti. It operates a single compact passenger terminal and one asphalt runway, handling scheduled domestic flights and seasonal international charters.
Because regular public transport from the terminal is limited, most travelers continue to Chora, Kapsali, Agia Pelagia and other villages by taxi, private transfer or rental car. The airport is also a dependable alternative to ferries when strong meltemi winds disrupt sea connections.
With a snack bar, small shop, free Wi-Fi and straightforward check-in and security, the airport offers a compact and efficient start or end to a stay on Kythira.
