Airports and ground transport on the Athens-Kutaisi route
Flights depart from Athens International Airport “Eleftherios Venizelos” (ATH), roughly 33 kilometres from the city centre. The easiest way to reach it is metro line 3 (the blue line), which takes about 40 minutes from Syntagma Square, or the X95 express bus, which runs around the clock.
You land at David the Builder Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) in Kopitnari, about 14 kilometres from Kutaisi. Shuttle buses timed to the flight schedule depart straight from the terminal:
- to central Kutaisi – around 30 minutes;
- to Batumi – around 2 hours;
- to Tbilisi – around 4 hours.
It is worth booking your shuttle seat online in advance, as places on late-night departures sell out quickly. Taxis and car rental desks are also available at the airport.
Cabin bags, checked luggage and online check-in
Wizz Air is a low-cost airline, so only the bare essentials are included in the base fare. Before you book, keep the following in mind:
- Free cabin bag – one small bag measuring 40x30x20 cm that fits under the seat in front of you.
- WIZZ Priority – a paid add-on that lets you bring an additional 55x40x23 cm trolley weighing up to 10 kg, plus priority boarding.
- Checked baggage – sold separately, with weight options ranging from 10 kg up to 32 kg. Buying it online in advance is almost always cheaper than paying at the airport.
Online check-in is free and can be completed on the airline’s website or in its mobile app. If you bought a seat together with your ticket, check-in opens 30 days before departure; otherwise it opens 24 hours before. It closes 3 hours before the flight. If you do not check in online, you will have to pay for check-in at the airport.
How long is the flight from Athens to Kutaisi?
The non-stop flight takes approximately 2 hours and 35 minutes, covering a distance of roughly 1,640 kilometres.
What documents do you need to travel to Athens?
Greece is part of the Schengen area, so Georgian citizens with a biometric passport can travel visa-free and stay in the Schengen zone for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. At the border you may be asked to present:
- a return or onward ticket;
- a hotel booking or other proof of accommodation;
- travel medical insurance;
- proof of sufficient funds for your stay.
Note that the European Union has rolled out its new biometric border registration system (EES), which became fully operational on 10 April 2026: instead of stamping your passport, border officers record your fingerprints and a facial image, which can take a little longer the first time. Always double-check the current entry rules with official sources before you travel.
