Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Athens International Airport (ATH) is Greece’s main international gateway and typically serves as a full-service hub for major carriers and the country’s flag carrier, alongside seasonal and low-cost operators. Located about 20 km east of downtown Athens, transfer times to Syntagma or the port of Piraeus are generally 35–50 minutes by taxi, 40 minutes by suburban rail, or around 45 minutes via the Metro; fares can range from budget-friendly transit fares to higher taxi rates depending on time and traffic. The airport is usually modern and well-serviced, offering lounges and numerous shops, but peak-season crowds and occasional traffic delays can affect comfort and punctuality.
Rio de Janeiro is served mainly by two airports with different roles. Rio–Galeão (GIG) is the international gateway and a full-service hub typically handling long-haul flights and major carriers; it’s about 20–25 km from the city center, with travel times of roughly 30–50 minutes by taxi or ride-hail depending on traffic and an airport bus or BRT transfer that can take around 40–60 minutes for a lower fare. Santos Dumont (SDU) functions more as a central domestic and regional airport used by premium and business travelers on short-haul routes; it sits very close to downtown (around 3–8 km), usually accessible in 10–20 minutes by taxi or 20–30 minutes by city bus. GIG can be more convenient for international connections but may feel larger and slower to navigate; SDU offers quicker access to central neighborhoods but serves fewer international options and can be pricier per seat on short domestic routes.
