Baku — Athens Cheap Flight Tickets

Athens: ancient monuments and the gateway to the Greek islands

Athens is one of the oldest cities in Europe, and its history is impossible to miss. The Acropolis with the Parthenon rises above the centre, and the Acropolis Museum, the Ancient Agora and the Temple of Olympian Zeus are all within walking distance. Below the hill, the narrow streets of Plaka and Monastiraki are full of tavernas, small shops and rooftop bars with views of the ancient ruins. Athens is also the starting point for many island holidays: ferries leave from the port of Piraeus, and the coastline south of the city has beaches within easy reach.

Flights from Baku to Athens are ideal for:

• History and culture trips focused on ancient Greece;
• Beach holidays that start in Athens and continue to the islands;
• Short city breaks with good food and long, warm evenings.

Athens has a Mediterranean climate: hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters. Spring and autumn are usually the most comfortable seasons for sightseeing, while summer is the peak time for island trips. In the hottest months, plan outdoor visits for the morning or evening.

Airports: Baku GYD and Athens ATH

You depart from Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) in Baku and arrive at Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH), east of the city. It is the main international gateway to Greece. The airport is connected to the centre by the metro, the suburban railway, express buses and taxis. If you plan to continue to an island by ferry, there are also bus connections towards Piraeus. Check our guide from the airport to the city centre for general advice.
