Flights to Greece: admire ancient history at its best from £76

Most travellers choose to fly to Greece. Athens is accessible by direct flights from London, taking a little over 3 hours and 35 minutes. As well as Athens, a number of airlines offer flights to Thessaloniki or other island airports such as Corfu, Santorini, Mykonos or Rhodes. Greece's location is very particular due to its largely isolated geography. During high seasons, the majority of travel companies offer direct charter flights to the coastal resorts and the more touristic islands, excluding flights to the Greek capital. Athens airports has high airport fees, which is why when it comes to finding a cheap flight to Greece, its best to opt for flights to Thessaloniki. Located in the north of the country, this airport is becoming increasingly popular. It gives access to areas still untouched by the flow mass tourism and marked by grand acient Macedonian sites.

As can be said of most Mediterranean country, Greece is most popular with tourists during the summer season, especially in July and August, since this is when the weather in Greece is at its best. Unfortunately, this is the time when it is hardest to find low cost flights to Greece, for example flights from London to Athens cost around £280 as opposed to £120 in the off season. Equally, it is more pleasant to visit the Greek capital when the heat is less intense in September or October. Rain hits Athens in the winter, typically between November and January. The types of flights available to Greece also depend on the various seasons. That is to say that there are more direct flights from the UK to Greece in the summer. Nevertheless, the best time to visit Greece is during the spring when 30°C temperature is pleasant and the sun is shining but the crowds of tourists have not yet arrived.
