Lounges & Relaxing
at Kos Island Hippocrates Airport
While this airport has limited formal lounge facilities, there are comfortable seating areas and cafes airside to relax before your flight. Whether you need to relax before your flight, find a quiet space to work, or simply refresh away from the crowds.
The Value of Calm
Traveling through busy regional airports during the peak summer season can often be a chaotic experience. The general departure halls at Kos Island Hippocrates Airport are designed to handle high volumes of passengers, which can result in limited seating and elevated noise levels. For travelers seeking a moment of respite before their flight, investing in lounge access or identifying quiet zones is a strategic move.
Beyond simple comfort, these dedicated relaxation areas provide a controlled environment with reliable climate control, which is essential during the hot Mediterranean summer. They also offer a secure place to charge your devices and catch up on work without the distractions of the main concourse.

Most terminals have quiet zones located furthest from the duty-free shopping areas. Look for signage near the higher-numbered gates for the best results.
Sleep Pods
For long layovers at larger hubs like ATH or BJV, check for designated sleep pods or nearby airport hotels linked via complimentary shuttles.
Arrive Refreshed
The best way to maintain that holiday relaxation is to skip the taxi queues entirely. Pre-book a premium transfer from Kos Island Hippocrates Airport directly to your villa or hotel.

Who can enter?
There is a common misconception that airport lounges are reserved solely for First Class or Business Class passengers. In reality, most lounges at Kos Island Hippocrates Airport operate on an "open access" basis. While business class tickets grant complimentary entry, economy passengers can often access these facilities through membership programs or by paying a one-time fee at the door.
Membership Programs
If you hold a premium credit card (such as Amex Platinum) or are a member of Priority Pass, LoungeKey, or DragonPass, you likely have complimentary access included. We recommend downloading your membership app before travel to ensure you have your digital QR code ready, as physical cards are sometimes required by older card readers.
Digital Nomad Friendly
For business travelers, the lounge offers a critical advantage: reliable, high-speed Wi-Fi that is separate from the often-congested public network. Desks with ample power outlets allow you to work efficiently. Some lounges even offer printing and scanning services upon request at the reception.
Food & Beverage
Entry typically includes unlimited complimentary food and drinks. The spread usually features a buffet of cold snacks, salads, and local pastries, along with a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Taking a bottle of water from the lounge for your flight is generally permitted and a good way to stay hydrated.
