Athens is one of the sunniest cities in Europe with a very good warm weather starting in May and lasting to late October. But tourists seem to visit the city all year around, with the most popular attractions being the Acropolis, the Parthenon and Kallimarmaro Stadium.

If you want to get cheap air tickets to Athens, you should book your flight on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Try to avoid Mondays, because this is the most popular day for business travelers, and weekends, when the most tourists come to the city.

You can also fly to nearby major cities like Rome or Istanbul without spending much time. Many nearby Greek and European cities can be reached by bus or train. There are many European companies offering air tickets to Greek from other popular European destinations, so you can save some money on your air tickets by choosing an indirect flight through London or Frankfurt for example, rather than flying directly to Athens. Try finding budget airlines, which are quite popular throughout Europe, and you will definitely get very good air tickets to Athens compared to better known companies.

The most expensive season to visit Athens is through summer, especially during Eurail, which is the most popular time for tourists. Also be aware of national holidays and festival seasons, because you can face higher prices or lack of appropriate service.

Summary of Saving Money on Greek Flights:

• Avoid flying on Mondays and weekends
• The peak holiday season is during summer
• Think of flying to Athens through Rome or Frankfurt for a better air ticket price
• Consider flying with smaller budget European airlines rather than large monopolistic companies
