Take off to the Acropolis
Nice-Athens: humans have been travelling between these two cities for over 2000 years. The capital of the Côte d’Azur was founded by Greeks, who came from the city of Phocaea. At this time, they crossed the Mediterranean in galleys: a long and perilous voyage. Today, a direct Nice-Athens flight takes just 2h25. A short hop that takes you back 25 centuries, in the footsteps of the fathers of our civilisation: Plato, Socrates, Pericles… Their memory lives on in the old stones of the Agora and the exhibits of the National Archaeological Museum. Your Nice-Athens ticket offers you much more than just a journey: it is a kind of homecoming.

Departure airport Nice Côte d’Azur Airport Departure terminal Terminal 1 for Aegean & Terminal 2 for easyJet Arrival airport Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos Arriving at Athens airport
You will arrive at Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos in one of its two terminals: the main terminal or the satellite terminal. Only used at times of heavy traffic, the satellite terminal is easily accessible from the main terminal.
Located in Spata, Eleftherios Venizelos Airport is less than 30 kilometres from Athens. You can get to the Greek capital or its port, Piraeus, using:- the metro: line 3 takes you directly to the city centre in an hour or less. For Piraeus, change at Monastiraki to take line 1 (1h30 maximum journey time).
- the train: it takes barely an hour to get from the airport to Piraeus using the Proastiakos.
- the bus, which is least expensive: line X95 will get you to the city centre in around an hour, and line X96 takes 1h30 to get to Piraeus.
- a hire car: the car hire desks are in the arrivals hall of the main terminal.
- a taxi: there are two flat fares for taxis to Athens: one price during the day and another night.
What to do in
Athènes ?
Every day, Athens is recovering more and more from the terrible financial crisis that shook the entire country. The Greek capital is moving forwards again, and it’s back to its fun, party-loving self. A symbol of this revival was the opening in June 2016 of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre, a cultural complex designed by architect Renzo Piano, who also created the Pompidou Centre. Once again, visitors can see the city at its best: a modern yet picturesque city, keeper of the treasures of the most brilliant ancient civilisation.
