Gate-side at T1, Pret A Manger covers the basics fast
This Pret A Manger sits in Terminal 1 at Kos International Airport “Ippokratis” and runs through core departure hours, so you can usually grab something on an early morning outbound or late-evening return. It’s a straight café setup: counter service, self-serve fridges, and takeaway cups that make sense if you’re heading to the gates right after paying.
Expect the usual Pret lineup: filter coffee, espresso drinks, and pre-packed sandwiches and salads, with prices running a bit above downtown Kos but normal for an EU holiday airport. You’ll see the standard chicken, mozzarella-tomato, and tuna options in the fridge, plus pastries and croissants for breakfast flights, all in the same branded packaging you’d get in London or other European locations.
The shop sits airside in T1 after security, so you don’t have to factor in extra screening time once you’ve got your coffee in hand. Turn right after passport control and you’ll spot the Pret signage near the main departures seating, close enough to keep an eye on boarding screens while you queue. Seating is limited, so assume you may end up at a generic gate chair with a paper bag.
Card payment works fine here, and tap-to-pay terminals handle foreign cards without drama, so you don’t need leftover euro coins for a €3–€4 coffee. One tip: grab cold drinks and snacks here before heading to a remote bus gate, as options thin out once you leave the central T1 departures area.
