Athens Airport is a modenr airport serving both as the main airport to reach Athens and as a hub to the Middle East and the Balkans and off course the Greek islands.

Location: ######## Sofitel are a large chain of hotels across the world that are 4/5 star. I have only experience of the ones at Athens and Gatwick airports. The Athens Sofitel is the only hotel right on site at the airport. It is just across the road from the airport and is perfect for a transfer. All other transfer ...  Read the complete review

All ops on Athens airport dated before March 2001 are out-of-date, for the old airport is history. The new one is now operational and sits on the Attica plain like a veritable behemoth, visible from miles around. It helps to have been to the old Hellinikon airport (or just 'Hell' as it was known to many) to appreciate the ...  Read the complete review

“Eleftherios Venizelos” Athens international airport is quite a … mouthful! However, for me it was a pleasant surprise when I firstly landed there. It is a brand new project for Greece, made in cooperation with a foreign consortium of constructors (I think German) specialised in similar projects. For you that have flown to ...  Read the complete review

I can easily say, I have never been to a worse airport in my life. I was delayed at Athens for five hours a couple of weeks ago, unable to go through to passport control and it seemed like an eternity. There was nowhere to go, nothing to do, and not even anything decent to eat. I ended up sitting on the floor for three hours, smoking ...  Read the complete review

Ugh Athens Airport does not conjure up happy images in my mind......the place is a pit and you can scarcely believe that it is an airport for a capital city. Very little to do, and very few places to eat. We were stuck here for hours, and it was one of the worst airports I've ever been in, certainly in a capital city, other than in ...  Read the complete review

Athen's airport Ellinikon is about 10 km from the city if Athens. There are two terminals, East and West. It is important that you do not get to the wrong terminal, because of the distance between them. I was shocked to see the airport when I was leaving for London from there. It did not look like an international airport at all. ...  Read the complete review

The West Terminal serves Olympic Airways exclusively. Taxis are available at a stand outside the arrivals hall. ...  Read the complete review
