Key observations
- Cheapest market this month: Budapest (Hungary) at €12 - direct.
- Direct flight coverage: 24 of the top 25routes are available as non-stop flights. Aegean's Star Alliance membership adds codeshare reach beyond what the low-cost carriers cover directly.
- Geographic spread: The top 25 routes reach 15 countries. Western Europe - Italy, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands - dominates the cheapest end, driven by Ryanair and easyJet competition on leisure corridors.
- Price context: At €24 average across the top 25, Athens fares sit in the mid-range for a major European hub. Summer demand pushes prices up on popular Aegean and Balkan routes - booking 3-5 weeks out is typically the sweet spot.
- Booking tip: Prices shown are per-person one-way fares. Tuesday and Wednesday departures typically run 10-20% cheaper than weekend flights. Thessaloniki (SKG) is worth checking as an alternative departure point for northern Greek travellers - it sometimes undercuts ATH on overlapping routes.
