Getting There & Away
AIR
Olympic Air has three flights per week to Leros (€61, 20 minutes), Kos (€68, one hour)
and Rhodes (€68, 1½ hours) and five per week to Athens (€75, one hour). Astypalea
Tours in Skala is the agent for Olympic Air.
BOAT
Astypalea has ferry services to Piraeus and Rhodes with various stops along the way.
Services dock at the rather isolated small port of Agios Andreas, 6.5km north of Skala. A
bus is scheduled to meet all arriving ferries, but don't bank on it. The Kalymnos-based
ferry F/B
Nissos Kalymnos
links the island with Kalymnos and islands further north in
the Dodecanese (four times per week), and docks, conveniently, at Skala. Ferry tickets
