Is AOK easy to connect through?
Karpathos Airport is a tiny single-building facility on a small Greek island, built for beach tourism rather than connections. There are essentially no true 'connecting' itineraries here — passengers disembark, walk a few steps, and clear whatever minimal processing exists, making any transfer trivially short if flights happen to align. There is one small terminal building with arrivals and departures under the same roof, so all 'transit' is walking across the apron or a short hallway. There is no airside transfer infrastructure, no shuttles, and no train — everything is done on foot within a couple of minutes.
