During the peak summer season, airlines frequently increase their services, offering direct connections between popular holiday destinations. We recommend checking with your airline or tour operator for the latest flight schedules before you book.
Athens International Airport (AIA): Named after the great Greek statesman Eleftherios Venizelos, Athens Airport (ATH) is one of the world’s most modern and award-winning hubs. Regularly voted one of Europe’s most functional and welcoming airports, it lies 33 km southeast of the city centre.
Seamless Connections: AIA is perfectly integrated with Athens’ public transport, including the Metro, the suburban railway, and numerous bus lines. These routes offer easy access to the city centre and the major ports of Piraeus, Rafina, and Lavrion—perfect for those heading straight to the islands.
A Cultural Touch: While at the airport, don’t miss the chance to visit the on-site Museum to learn more about the life and legacy of Eleftherios Venizelos.
