Athens International Airport (ATH) is Greece’s main international gateway and a full-service hub that typically handles both legacy carriers and many European low-cost airlines. Located about 33 km east of central Athens, journey times into the city center are usually around 35–45 minutes by metro or express bus, and about 25–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; fares can commonly range from moderate public-transport prices to higher fixed taxi rates for transfers. The airport is well-appointed with lounges, shops and car rental facilities, making it comfortable for connections, though peak-season crowds and occasional security queues can be a drawback for time-sensitive travellers. Overall it offers broad connectivity and relatively straightforward ground transport options.
Fly nonstop from Athens to Cape Town for the quickest, most convenient way to bridge Europe and South Africa — you’ll land faster and skip the hassle of transfers so you can start exploring sooner. While connections can sometimes offer lower fares, direct flights save valuable time and deliver a more comfortable, stress-free journey.
Cape Town International is the region’s main international gateway, serving full-service carriers, a growing number of low-cost airlines, and many seasonal long-haul flights; it’s typically positioned as a full-service hub rather than a budget-only airport. The terminal sits about 20–25 km from the city centre, with road transfers usually taking 20–40 minutes by taxi or rideshare (fares commonly falling in a mid-range band) and around an hour by regular shuttle or public bus depending on traffic. Car hire is widely available on-site. Pros: relatively modern facilities, frequent international connections and straightforward ground transport; cons: peak-hour congestion and variable transfer times can affect comfort and punctuality.
