Athens Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH) is Greece’s main international gateway and typically serves full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines, making it a primary hub for long-haul and regional connections. The airport sits about 20–35 minutes east of central Athens by car (roughly 30–45 km) and is usually reached by express metro line, suburban rail or frequent buses; journey times range from about 35–60 minutes and fares can be modest to mid-range. Taxis are common for door-to-door trips but can be noticeably more expensive than public transport. Pros: extensive facilities, solid onward connections and many flight options. Cons: can be busy during peak season and a longer transfer to the historic centre than some city airports.

Samarkand International Airport (SKD) serves as the primary gateway to Uzbekistan’s historic city and typically functions as a modest international and regional hub rather than a large long-haul center. It usually handles flights from national carrier Uzbekistan Airways alongside regional airlines linking to Moscow, Tashkent and nearby Central Asian destinations; low-cost options can be limited. The airport sits roughly 5–7 km northeast of the city center, with taxi rides commonly taking 15–25 minutes depending on traffic and costing the equivalent of a few dollars; shared minibuses and hotel transfers can be cheaper for groups. Pros: compact layout and short transfer times make it convenient for quick arrivals.
