Cheap Flights to Athens - City Breaks
Cheap flights are the Holy Grail of travel in the 21 st century, but luckily they're much easier to get your hands on than the real thing. No-frills airlines have slashed seat prices and forced scheduled competition to do the same. In fact, if you're prepared to spend some time shopping around there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to get a flight to Athens for less than the cost of a whistle-stop tour around the acropolis.

The Internet is the best starting point if you're looking for a cheap flight to Athens. By cutting out the 'middle man' online travel agents can pass on some of the savings made on overheads to the customer. Similarly major carriers are able to sell tickets cheaper on the web than they can on the High Street.
If you're flying to any major European destination, including Athens, you'll find that budget airlines offer some of the best deals. Try to be flexible with flight dates and times (which generally means avoiding Fridays and Sundays) and you should be able to find a bargain. Several websites specialise in selling 'last minute' seats, which offer great savings if your diary allows you to take advantage of them.
During the summer months the number of charter aircraft flying to Athens goes through the roof, so it's well worth getting in touch with your local travel agent to see what they can find. Teletext may no longer represent the cutting edge of technology, but as a way of hunting down cheap airfares it shouldn't be sniffed at
Today cheap flights to Athens are certainly a good deal more cheerful than they were at the turn of the millennia. With the opening of the swish new Eleftherios Venizelos airport in 2001, forgettable arrivals at Hellenikon airport (arguably Athens ' worst-loved museum piece) are a thing of the past.
