Information on how to get to Tilos

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 2009,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.

However,on a positive note, Jet2, Thomascook, Monarch, First Choice and Scanda airline Viking are already offering Wednesday morning flights for 2010 season from Gatwick and Manchester at excellent prices.We are now actively seeking to secure bookings for clients for their preferred accommodation in 2010.Once you have secured your flights, Tilos Travel will assist you in making your journey as smooth as possible.

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.

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.
