For airline travel to Karpathos from Athens see Aegean Airlines to Karpathos Your return flight airfare will be around €100-120 depending on when you book your flight. Aegean Airlines departs from the Emirates and internationally to Karpathos, so it may be more convenient to arrange your complete itinerary with the same airline internationally and locally. Peak season booking is higher and off season booking lower. A second option is by ferry.
