Arrival: Athens International Airport (ATH) and getting into Athens

The flight lands at Athens International Airport (ATH). Piraeus is the port of Athens and the main gateway to the Aegean islands, linked to central Athens by metro in about half an hour. From arrivals you have taxis, local transport and, if you book it with us, a Haqqi Tours driver waiting with your name. For a family with bags, a pre-booked airport transfer is the easiest way to finish the Santorini to Athens journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Many travellers continue from Athens to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Santorini to Athens flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Santorini to Athens. Full-service fares normally include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request

Flying with children, families and groups from Santorini to Athens

Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.

Things to do in Athens when you land

Piraeus is the port of Athens and the main gateway to the Aegean islands, linked to central Athens by metro in about half an hour. Start with Delphi, a day away, the Athens Riviera beaches and the Acropolis and the Parthenon, then the Acropolis Museum and the Ancient Agora. A tip from our desk: If you continue by ferry, tell us the ship and its departure time - Piraeus is on the far side of the city from the airport and the desk times the transfer to the gate.

Haqqi Tours arranges guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Athens; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.

Best time to fly from Santorini to Athens

April to June and September to October are ideal; July and August are very hot; winter is mild and quiet; the Attiki Odos motorway from the airport is quick outside rush hour. On the flight from Santorini to Athens, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.

Return flight from Athens to Santorini

The Athens to Santorini flight is the same route in reverse, about 45 minutes. Haqqi Tours can provide the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.

How much is a flight from Santorini to Athens?

The cost of a flight from Santorini to Athens depends on the date, the time of day, the airline, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we look up the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost through WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the electronic ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

Cheapest flight from Santorini to Athens: how to pay less

Finding cheap flights from Santorini to Athens is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:

• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Santorini to Athens that day and what a slightly different day would cost.

Departure: Santorini Airport (JTR)

Your journey starts at Santorini Airport (JTR). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. Local buses run from Fira to the villages and beaches but not from the airport or the port to hotels, and the roads are narrow and steep; nearly every visitor arrives by pre-booked car, and the desk also arranges the port transfer for ferry days.

• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the electronic ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
