Access
This is a big, modern and beautiful airport and everything
seems to work and I think it is one of the best and least
complicated airports in the world. The new roads are also
finished
and it is about 40 minutes to downtown Athens or over an hour
when there is traffic. Though it can be done in about half
an hour for early morning flights when the streets of Athens
are empty.
It's a nice introduction to Athens and there is a lot to see.
Not in the way of archaeolgical sites, but in activity, signs
and the reality of being in a foreign city. If you take the
Hymettos
Ring Road you will get a spectacular view of Athens.
Airport Overview
Athens' strategic position at the crossroads of three continents
offers access to numerous short-haul and medium-haul markets,
thus promoting "Eleftherios Venizelos" as the natural
connecting point of the region.
The new airport is developing into the Southeastern Gateway
of Europe providing connecting/feeder traffic from the eastern
Mediterranean region,
the Middle East, the Balkans, Africa and Greece to European
and long-haul destinations.
The airport is a major hub in the Aegean, Balkan and East
Mediterranean regions. Delta and Olympic maintain non-stop
flights from North America,
while a large number of European carriers fly direct into
Athens.

Traveling on a Schengen Visa means that the visa holder can
travel to any (or all) member countries using one single visa,
thus avoiding the hassle and expense of obtaining
individual visas for each country. This is particularly beneficial
for persons who wish to visit several European countries on
the same trip.
The Schengen countries are ..
Austria,
Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Iceland,
Italy, Luxemburg, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and The
Netherlands (Holland)

Country
Information
As Athens
is a major cultural centre, tourists come and go the year
round. In summer, many visitors pass through the city on their
way to the islands,
though this is certainly not the best time to visit: it’s
very hot and packed with foreign excursion groups. Try to
come in either late spring or early autumn,
when you can expect mild weather and a more relaxed atmosphere
Climate
Athens is blessed with a typical Mediterranean climate. Summers
are hot, dry and sunny, with temperatures between 22C (72F)
and 32C (90F) throughout July. Winters tend to be mild,
with average temperatures ranging from 7C (44F) to 13C (55F)
throughout January, with a fair amount of rain and even occasional
snow.
Language
Greek is the official language, though many people, especially
youngsters and those working in tourism, speak good English.
By and large you shouldn’t have any problem communicating,
but learning a few basic Greek words shows good will on your
part.
Street
and Shop Signs
Street signs are posted in both Greek and Latin (English alphabet)
script, and tourist maps are published using the Latin script.
However, shops and restaurants, especially those less frequented
by tourists, may have signs in Greek only.
Athens
Shopping Areas
The capital’s chic designer boutiques line the streets
of Kolonaki, with shoe emporia and high street chains on Ermou
and Patission.
The bargain market areas are Monastiraki, Psiri and Thissio.
However, some suburbs have recently made challenging bids
to the centre’s fashion monopoly, and leafy Kifissia
in the north hosts a wealth of upmarket designer boutiques
and elegant shopping malls filled with expensive imports.
In the south, Glyfada boasts a Miami-style coastal boulevard
containing branches of most of the centre’s clothing,
shoe, accessory, home decoration and beauty stores.
Health
Matters
Citizens from EU countries have the right to free basic medical
care upon the presentation of a completed E111 form.
Travellers from the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand
are not covered by the Greek health system, and will be required
to pay for all treatment, except emergency casualty visits.
Driving
Licences
For car and moped hire, EU citizens need only have a national
driving licence, but visitors from the US, Canada, Australia
and New Zealand
are required to show an International Driving Licence before
taking to the roads.
General
Emergency number in Greece is 112.
This number can be called when faced with any emergency situation
is toll-free and operator independent. As mobile coverage
is extended all over Greece (even over open seas) using
your mobile phne is the most convinient means of accessing
emergency services.
Other emergency numbers are:
- Police 100
- Ambulance Service 166
Banks,
ATMs, Cards and Cash
Banks are normally open Mon–Thu 8am–2pm and Fri
8am–1:30pm. ATMs are plentiful in Athens for round-the-clock
access to cash.
Credit cards are accepted in larger hotels, restaurants and
shops, but you will find that less touristy businesses, such
as local tavernas, accept cash only.
Speed
Limits

roads have posted speed limits of 50 kilometers per hour (kph)
which is about 30 miles per hour (mph).
On larger roads the speed limit might be 70 On four lane highways
the speed limit is usually 100 kph and on the super highways
(the National Road)
