Athens International Airport lies in East Attica, east of the city. Your driver meets you at the airport’s pick-up area for pre-booked vehicles and drives you about 35 km over Attiki Odos and the Ymittos ring road to the centre, or to any hotel or address in Athens.
Your arrival at Athens International Airport and the drive into the city.
Collect your bags and come out on the Arrivals level of the Main Terminal Building. The airport sets aside two places for pre-booked vehicles: the Pick-up and Drop-off zone at the Arrivals level and the designated pick-up area next to Short Term 1 parking; we tell you which one before your trip. From the airport the road takes the A64 and Attiki Odos, then the Ymittos ring road, and comes into the centre by Katechaki Avenue and Vasilissis Sofias. About 35 minutes without traffic; central Athens traffic can add time.
Landing at a Satellite Terminal gate? Every passenger comes through the Main Terminal Building by the underground link, so the meeting is the same either way.
