Due to the expansion of low cost airlines, and the introduction of the Sea Star Catamaran, more people are travelling independently to Tilos. In previous seasons up to 2006,many travellers preferred to book flights on Wednesdays and Sundays, which tended to mirror the inbound and outbound journey of the major package tour operators serving Tilos, Halki and Symi.

Following the shock announcement that Laskarina have listed for voluntary liquidation after Oct 25th 2006, this coming season will prove to be a testing time for all concerned who wish to visit Tilos. On a positive note, Thomascook, Monarch, First Choice and Excel are already offering Wednesday morning flights for 2008 season from Gatwick and Manchester at excellent prices.We are now actively seeking to secure bookings for clients for their preferred accommodation in 2008.Once you have secured your flights, Tilos Travel will assist you in making your journey as smooth as possible. This site will be updated regularly to inform visitors of the latest news. Part of our service includes a 24 hour call line should you encounter any problems on your inbound / outbound journey.

For those visitors who have relied on the excellent services of Laskarina over the years, please don't despair !!! Making your own way to Tilos is really quite straightforward. We have had many years experience in advising independent travellers, and with the undoubted increase in this type of travel in 2008, flights, ferry crossings, and your choice of accommodation are without doubt going to be more flexible and available.

Tilos Travel “Icarus” Flight Service

Following the significant changes to the Ferry schedules over the last few seasons, visitors to Tilos have started to book flights direct to Rhodes rather than Kos. In the main this is due to the introduction of the Tilos Sea Star, and the reduction of the sailing's around the Greek Islands using the large ferries. Flights to other Islands are still possible, but ferry connections are currently limited.

One - Way Flights

Should you wish to be more flexible with your stay on Tilos, we also offer one way charter flights back to the UK and Scandinavia from Rhodes. This way your flight to Rhodes one- way could be significantly cheaper, and allows you to stay on Tilos outside the normal 7 or 14 day visit. A list of flight only web sites links are shown at the bottom of this page.

New for 2008. Scheduled Flights to Rhodes.

British Airways are now offering a scheduled flight service from Gatwick to Rhodes operated by GB Airways. One way or return flights are available at very competitive prices, with all the usual comforts of a scheduled flight. Please follow the BA link below to book flights.

Ferry Schedules.

With the exception of the Sea Star Catamaran,It is our policy not to advertise ferry company schedules at this stage, as experience shows us that they are generally misleading, often out of date and as is the Greek way, subject to change !!
However, once your flights are secured, we will be delighted to advise you at all stages of your journey. Our knowledge of the transit stages has on many occasions resulted in our staff getting our clients to Tilos more quickly than package tour operators.In essence, this flexibility gives you more time on Tilos !

SCHEDULED CATAMARAN SERVICE

The Tilos Sea Star, having served visitors to Tilos for the last 5 years,will shortly be publishing the 2008 schedule, expected around the 14th May.

Tickets for Tilos can be purchased from kiosks located by the Sea Star in Mandraki harbour in Rhodes for €18.50 one way. Most taxi drivers at Diagoras Airport know where the Sea Star Catamaran docks, so don't panic !!!!!!
