Athens airport travel time

To be on the safe side I would say 2 hours. You could get away with 1 1/2 hours but why take a chance. Athens airport is small and very efficient. Quick to check in and go through security.

If you can fly do so. It's a lot quicker than a ferry. Of course it all depends on budget. However, time is money on holiday . . . the more time you spending getting from Point A to Point B the more "fun" time you lose.

It will depend somewhat on your situation. If you aren't checking any luggage and if you have printed out your boarding pass in advance you won't need a lot of time to pass through the security checkpoint to get to the departure gate. But if you have to check in with a ticket agent to get a boarding pass and/or drop off your luggage then you will need more time. 1.5 hours is more than enough time.

You also have to take into account if your flight is on time and you get to Athens when you are suppose to. More than likely your flight will be on time but there have been numerous times when my flight was delayed by either back ups on the tarmac or a problem with the plane.

Give yourself a little extra time . . . as I stated Athens Airport is small, efficient and quick to move around in. Still, unexpected delays do happen, either on the originators flight or strikes, weather or just some unusual occurence. Two hours ahead of departure should be sufficient.

I'm someone who is pretty lax about airport times and found myself in an hour long line just to get boarding passes (the electronic system was down) for a flight from Athens a month ago. We got a big nervous. And people say it's a small airport but the walking times are long. 2 hours minimum is what I'll do in the future so I don't sweat.
