7 Things to do at Athens Airport while we take care of your airport procedures
Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos is the largest air terminal located in Greece which serves the region of Attica and the city of Athens. It started to operate on 28th March 2001 and is regarded as one of the main centers for Aegean Airlines and several other Greek airlines. The 2018 statistics show that the airport is the 27th busiest airport in Europe. To tackle the procedures at the busy airport, we at MUrgency Airport Assistance bring you a range of services customized to your needs. While we take care of your airport procedures, here are 8 things you can do while relaxing at the Athens Airport.
1. Eat
No matter what time you arrive, you can grab a bite to eat at several restaurants that are open 24-hours. Stop at one of the Greek options, including the Kir-Yanni Wine Bar, or head to any of the several European cafes and sit-down restaurants. If you ar up for a quick snack, you are never far from a McDonald’s or Starbucks either.
2. Hang out in a lounge
Head to the airport lounge and enjoy good food and drinks, hop on WiFi, and catch up on the news all in a quieter environment than the main terminal. You cansimply buy a pass online or use your membership in a lounge program to gain entry. You can also get in touch with our concierge to help you with the same.
3. Get a dose of history
For many travellers, Greece is synonymous with history. The Main Terminal features permanent exhibitions from the Acropolis Museum in town. There’s also the Exhibition of Archaeological Findings and the Eleftherios Venizelos Permanent Exhibition is dedicated to Greek aviation history. Open daily from 6am – 11pm.
4. Go exploring – beyond the airport
If you have a layover at the Greece airport, you can take advantage of the airport’s location to get out and about for some fresh air and local culture.
Layover under 5 hours
The airport’s location means you’re within easy range of a couple attractions, and sometimes you need to just get out and breathe fresh air, even if it’s only for a couple hours. Tour a vineyard and sample the wines at nearby wineries like Gikas Winery, Domaine Papagiannakos, and Eklektikon.
In case you have a layover more than 5 hours, you can plan a stroll along Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, a pedestrian road that leads to the Acropolis and accompanying museum, wind your way through traditional neighborhoods with white homes, cafes, and low-key Greek restaurants.
Our team can help you plan your day and arrange your commute to and from the airport.
5. Shop
The Greece airport provides the perfect opportunity to shop with its plenty of options. The Hellenic Duty Free has all your standard necessities, and other shops specialize in cigars, jewelry, perfume, and sunglasses. If you really are in the mood to splurge, you can also check out high-end boutiques like Michael Kors, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Max Mara.
6. Spa
If you are in need of some pampering, the spa inside the Sofitel hotel is open to non-guests. Services include facials, massages, manicures and pedicures, and more. Note that the Sofitel is located just opposite the airport terminal, so you’ll have to exit and re-enter Security.
7. Get online
Stay connected to friends and family, update your social media accounts or surf the internet courtesy of the airport’s free WiFi. You’ll want to use your time wisely though, as there is currently a 45 minute time limit restriction.
