Car Rental Mini Guide for Athens Airport

Hiring a car will allow you to travel the twelve miles into the city in no time. The airport is easy to reach from the well-signposted Attiki Odos and has plenty of short- and long-term parking together with valet parking. The long-term parking is ten minutes’ walk from the airport, but a shuttle operates regularly between the park and the terminal.

Those collecting a hire car from the airport should go to the companies’ desks in the arrivals hall but as the desks can become terribly busy at peak times, we would recommend pre-booking and sending a driver through to sort out the final paperwork whilst others in the group collect the luggage. The airport is right on Attiki Odos leading into the heart of Athens.
