Patras Araxos Airport (GPA) to Patras
KTEL Achaias runs a Patras to Araxos route as part of its local network; there is no dedicated airport shuttle.
- KTEL Achaias runs a Patras to Araxos service as one of its ordinary Achaia routes.
- There is no dedicated airport shuttle, and no airport branded service.
- Araxos is about 40 km west of Patras, near Kato Achaia at the north west corner of the Peloponnese.
- The terminal is seasonal. It opens for summer charter flights and is quiet the rest of the year.
- Book a transfer or a hire car if you are arriving on a package, which is what most traffic here is.
- Patras is the ferry port for Italy, and that connection is the reason many arrivals head straight there.
An airfield rather than an airport
- Araxos is a Hellenic Air Force base with a civil terminal attached, opened for seasonal traffic.
- The passenger operation is small and summer weighted, which is why no operator runs a dedicated shuttle.
- KTEL Achaias serves Araxos on its local Achaia network, in both directions from Patras.
Getting to Patras
- About 40 km east, along the coast past Kato Achaia.
- The KTEL call centre is on +30 2610 623 886 to 888, and tickets are sold online at eticket.ktelachaias.gr.
- Neither the operator nor the airport publishes an airport fare, so ask when booking.
Why Patras matters
- Patras is the main ferry port for Italy: Ancona, Bari, Brindisi and Venice.
- It is also the road head for the western Peloponnese, with coaches to Pyrgos for Olympia and to Kalavryta in the mountains.
