Samos International Airport, also known as Aristarchos Airport, is a modest facility that serves as the primary air gateway for visitors to Samos. Located about 2 km from the historic town of Pythagoreio and 15 km from Vathy, it handles domestic flights from Athens and seasonal international charters. The terminal is compact, with a single runway and basic amenities including a café, car rental desks, and a small shop. Despite its size, the airport offers stunning views of the surrounding hills and sea upon approach.
