Ende Town & Harbour
Kota Ende
A port city in central-south Flores with an airport and ferry terminal, where the bay and Mount Iya provide the best views at sunset.
Ende is the seat of Ende Regency and the gateway to Kelimutu. Flights from H. Hasan Aroeboesman Airport connect to Kupang and Bali, and ferries from the harbor serve Kupang and other destinations. The town spreads along the bay, backed by Mount Iya and Mount Meja. Watching the sunset from the harbor or seafront, as fishing boats return, is especially atmospheric. The traditional market is good for ikat textiles and fresh seafood, and the Catholic church and Sukarno-related sites are all within walking distance. It is ideal for a half-day stroll on the day you arrive or depart.
