Tips for 2 hr Connections
Karpathos has no formal transfer desks, so if you're booked on separate tickets you must collect bags and re-check in yourself.
Seasonal charter and Sky Express/Olympic Air flights dominate the schedule, so connections are rare and airlines won't typically build itineraries through here.
The terminal is small enough that you can walk from curb to gate in under five minutes, but don't count on services like lounges, shops, or fast-track lines.
If your flight is delayed, there is minimal staff presence to assist with rebooking, so keep a local contact number for your onward carrier.
Weather-driven delays are common due to strong island winds, so build in buffer time regardless of official MCT.
Busyness — Connection Risk

Low risk
Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
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.
