Flying from London Gatwick
Gatwick is London's leisure-leaning airport — the home of British Airways' short-haul leisure operation, easyJet's largest UK base and a long lineup of TUI and Norwegian holiday flights. South and central London passengers reach it via the Gatwick Express or Thameslink. The mix is broader than Heathrow on European leisure routes, often cheaper, and you'll see the same destination served three or four times a day across competing airlines — useful when one carrier delays.
Arriving in Athens
Athens International is Greece's main hub and Aegean Airlines' base, 30 km southeast of the city. Metro Line 3 reaches Syntagma Square in 40 minutes for €9. Athens is the gateway for Greek-island connections — most passengers transfer to a domestic Aegean or Olympic flight. UK fares peak in July and August; April–early June and September–October offer the best price-to-weather ratio.
