Cheap flights from Athens to Gdansk

December is the cheapest month we track for this route, and it is easy to see why: the summer rush is over and the Christmas peak has not arrived. Prices are listed for every month from September through August, so you can weigh a Greek beach week against a winter city break in Gdansk. Spring and early autumn are the middle ground, mild in Athens and cool but dry in Poland. Christmas and New Year are peak weeks in both countries, so book those dates early. If your dates are flexible, midweek departures and the quiet weeks after the holidays give you more room to choose.

Low-cost carriers cover most of this route: Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta, Easyjet, Volotea and Vueling all sell seats between Greece and Poland, with the base fare covering little more than a seat and a small personal item. Full-service options come from Aegean Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines and Cyprus Airways, where a checked bag and a snack are usually part of the ticket and connections through a hub are common. Direct flights exist on the route, so check whether the fare you like is nonstop or a one-stop itinerary before you pay. If you travel with a bag, compare the low-cost fare plus baggage against a full-service ticket — the gap narrows fast.

Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport is the city's only airport and sits a short ride from the centre, so the transfer is a quick one rather than a trek. Buses connect the terminal with the city, taxis and ride-hailing apps wait outside arrivals, and a car takes you to the old town in one short hop. Because the airport is small, everything from baggage claim to the exit moves fast, but the return trip is worth planning: security queues build up before the early departures that low-cost carriers like to schedule, so arrive with time to spare. If you land late, sort out how you will get into town before you fly.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Athens flights leave from Eleftherios Venizelos, the city's only airport, so there is no second airport to mix up.
• On a low-cost ticket, add your cabin or checked bag before you pay — it costs more at the airport.
• If your connection is on separate tickets, leave a generous buffer, since a missed leg is not protected.
• Check Poland's entry rules for your nationality and make sure your passport or ID is valid for the whole trip.
• Compare December fares with the summer months on the price calendar, since December is the cheapest month we track.
• Decide whether a direct flight or a cheaper connecting itinerary suits you before you book.
