Getting to the airport is straightforward, with robust transport links available from across the city. The fast and efficient suburban rail system connects the airport to Athens Central Railway Station (Larissa Station) and the port of Piraeus. Alternatively, Metro Line 3 takes approximately 45 minutes from the city centre directly to the terminals.

If you are travelling by road, buses, coaches and taxis all service the airport, though allow ample time during Athens’ peak traffic hours. Parking is convenient, offering 7,100 spaces, including short-term P1 and P2 car parks near the Main Terminal arrivals halls, and long-term P3 spots.

Upon arrival, check in at Hall A, area 1, at least two hours before your flight to clear customs smoothly. As the airport was completed in 2001, you will find excellent, modern facilities. Browse a variety of retail outlets for locally-made Greek goods or high-value perfumes and watches. For refreshments, a selection of restaurants and cafes provides excellent Greek and international cuisine and snacks. Furthermore, stay connected with up to 60 minutes of complimentary Wi-Fi access throughout the terminal.

The Maldives is a tropical destination boasting crystal-clear oceans and powder-soft white sand. Moving between the islands is an experience in itself. Take a speedboat or scenic seaplane to reach your chosen location, as the archipelago is made up of over 1,100 stunning coral islands.

The main attraction of the Maldives is the natural environment, where the rhythm of life is dictated by the ocean. Beneath the surface, a vibrant world awaits. Explore the colourful coral reefs through world-class diving and snorkelling, and admire a rich tapestry of aquatic life. This is the ultimate escape if you're seeking serenity in the Indian Ocean.

If you wish to go beyond the resorts, take a water taxi to the nation's capital, Malé. Here, you can taste a slice of authentic Maldivian culture away from the idyllic resorts. Wander around local markets or spoil yourself at a variety of other shopping outlets. Remember to stop by the historic Old Friday Mosque, one of the most important structures in the capital.
