Cheap flights from Brindisi to Athens

Athens has long, bright days in summer and shorter, cooler ones in winter. Among the months with listed fares—November, December, January, February, April, May, June and August—November is the cheapest. Weekday departures are often easier to combine with a connection than weekend ones, and holiday periods leave less room to change plans. Check the price calendar for your exact dates, and remember that the same city pair can price differently across the months shown.

None of the listed carriers flies nonstop between Brindisi and Athens, so every journey connects. The list includes Lufthansa, Swiss, ITA Airways, Helvetic Airways and Air Baltic, and fare inclusions vary by carrier and fare type; checked baggage, seat selection and changes are not the same on every ticket. Compare the connection time and whether the itinerary is one ticket or several, because a missed connection on separate tickets is your problem. If you only need a small bag, a lighter fare may suit you; if you need checked luggage, price that in before comparing.

You land at Eleftherios Venizelos, the main airport for Athens, Greece's capital, which sits east of the city centre rather than in it. The metro, suburban rail, express buses and taxis all serve it, but the ride into town takes long enough that a tight onward plan is unwise. If you arrive late, check the last metro or bus time before relying on it, and keep a taxi option in reserve. Watch your bags in crowded stations and on airport trains, as in any big city.
