Located about 7 km southwest of Nice city centre, travel typically takes 15–30 minutes by tram, bus or taxi; the tram line T2 is usually the cheapest public option with fares around €1.90–€2.50, while taxis can be 20–35 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. Pros: very close to central Nice and convenient for onward connections to Cannes and Monaco; cons: can be busy in summer and some budget services use remote stands that involve a bus transfer.

Athens Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH) is Greece’s primary international gateway and a full-service hub for both legacy carriers and many seasonal or low-cost operators, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on season. The airport sits about 20 km east of central Athens; taxi rides typically take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic and can be moderate to high in cost, while the suburban rail (Proastiakos) and Metro offer 30–45 minute transfers for a lower, fixed fare. Buses connect to key points overnight at very economical rates. Pros: modern terminals, frequent connections and reasonably clear signage. Cons: busy peak seasons and occasional delays getting into the center by road.
