Athens International Airport
Edit ThisThe main entrance to Greece is Athens featuring its new, modern and highly efficient airport, called Eleftherios Venizelos. Olympic airways will take you to El. Venizelos from all major airports in Europe. For information on flights outside Europe, please contact your country's air carrier. Also, during peak holiday season, many charter flights can be found directly to your holiday destination ( there is an airport on nearly every major island) or connect flights around Greece.
