Athens International Airport, also known as "Eleftherios Venizelos," is a surprising gem that offers a beautiful and clean environment for travelers. The interior of the airport is well lit and perfectly maintained, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The staff are polite and helpful, ensuring a positive experience for all visitors. The airport features nice facilities similar to those found in Dubai International Airport. The efficiency of Athens Airport is worth mentioning. It boasts some of the fastest customs and baggage services among international hubs, making the travel process smooth and hassle-free. While there are a few shops and restaurants available, the main focus for travelers is to quickly exit and explore the city. However, one drawback is the significant mountain ridge between the airport and the city, which makes transportation into the city less efficient than desired. Taxi fares to the city or the port can be surprisingly expensive, so it is recommended to take the train instead. Fortunately, the train/subway has a station next to the airport, making it convenient for travelers. It is easy to purchase tickets at the kiosks, and the train even has a built-in luggage area. Although it can get crowded, it is still the best transportation option. The airport also offers cultural experiences, such as museums and art displays, providing a unique touch. However, it is advised to avoid taking pictures in sensitive areas for security reasons. Overall, Athens International Airport is a good airport that meets the needs of travelers. Its cleanliness, efficiency, and friendly staff contribute to a pleasant experience. Visitors can expect a modern and spacious environment, along with some unique amenities. Just be mindful of a few quirks, such as paying to weigh your bags and higher prices for certain items. Remember to withdraw cash before entering the airport and plan accordingly for car rentals. Despite some minor inconveniences, Athens International Airport remains a reliable and convenient gateway to Greece and beyond.

Clean, organized, well connected to the city centre. The best way to get to the Airport from the City Centre is via the Metro Subway station Blue Line 3. Be aware that the Airport train requires a separate train ticket to the Airport (9 euros)

Great airport with selection of shops and restaurants serving good Greek food. The food is quite pricey, but you can get large water for only 0€0,90 which is very good. Bathrooms are clean, the staff are helpful and polite.

The airport is not big, but rather chaotic. There is also a charge for the baggage cart. . . It's a long, long conveyor belt to get out of the airport. When I left Athens, I was also at this airport. I had an early flight, and the chaos was unim.. Read more »

Great airport. Take your time otherwise you'll get loss. There are lots of family friendly and gender neutral restrooms that are called water closets, so look for "WC" if you need to go.
