Shopping Guide & Tips
Enhance your travel experience by exploring the diverse shopping options available at Kos Island Hippocrates Airport. Whether you are looking for last-minute gifts, luxury fashion, or local souvenirs, the airport retail area offers something for everyone. From authentic Greek olive oil and honey to international designer brands, the selection is curated to reflect both global trends and regional heritage.
Travelers can take advantage of Duty Free prices on perfumes, cosmetics, and spirits. If you are traveling outside the EU, you can benefit from tax-free shopping on luxury items and tobacco. For flights within the EU, "Travel Value" prices typically apply to fragrances and skincare, offering significant savings compared to high street prices.
We recommend arriving at least 2 hours before your flight to have ample time to browse the shops without rushing. Most stores accept major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) and contactless payments.

Liquid Restrictions
While security restrictions on liquids (100ml limit) apply to items brought from home, liquids purchased after the security checkpoint in Duty Free shops are exempt. These items (such as perfumes or spirits) will be placed in a special Sealed Tamper-Evident Bag (STEB) along with the receipt. Do not open this bag until you reach your final destination, especially if you have a connecting flight, as security at transfer airports may confiscate unsealed liquids.
VAT Refunds
Non-EU residents leaving the European Union may be eligible for a VAT refund on goods purchased in Greece (minimum spend usually applies, typically €50 in a single receipt). To claim this, you must present your passport and the tax-free form at the Customs desk beforeyou check your luggage (if the items are in your suitcase) or after security (if items are in hand luggage).
Don't forget Duty Free
Even on domestic flights, you can shop at Hellenic Duty Free for perfumes, cosmetics, and fashion at competitive prices.
