Cheap Flights from Bilbao to Athens — $85

Bilbao Airport (BIO) serves as the main international gateway for Spain’s Basque Country and typically functions as a mixed hub with both full-service carriers (like Iberia and Vueling) and a strong low-cost presence (Ryanair, EasyJet). Located about 12 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) north of Bilbao’s city center, it’s reachable by bus, taxi and car; the Bizkaibus/A3247 shuttle and urban buses generally take around 25–35 minutes with fares usually in the low single digits, while taxis commonly cost more but cut travel time. Trains are not directly available at the terminal, so buses provide the most budget-friendly link. Pros: compact layout and efficient security lines; cons: fewer long-haul connections and occasional peak-season crowding.

Athens Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH) is Greece’s main international gateway and typically functions as a full-service hub for both legacy carriers and many international airlines, while also handling some low-cost operators. Located about 20 km east of the city center, travel to Syntagma or Monastiraki usually takes 30–45 minutes by Metro or 30–60 minutes by car depending on traffic. The suburban Proastiakos train offers a 45-minute link and airport buses run about 40–60 minutes at lower fares; expect fares to be modest but variable by mode. Pros: modern terminals, frequent connections and reliable public transit; cons: distances and occasional peak-hour congestion can add time and hassle.
