When is the best time to travel to Athens?

The best times to travel to Athens are March–May and September–November. In these seasons the temperature is warm and pleasant and the weather is mostly sunny, which makes the trip far more enjoyable. There are also fewer tourists, so you can move around the city and visit the sights far more freely. Most importantly, because these are off-peak seasons, prices for both flights and hotels are comparatively low.

How to find cheap Kutaisi – Athens flight tickets

1. Buy your ticket 1.5–2 months in advance.
2. Choose midweek dates rather than the weekend, because demand for travel is lower on working days and tickets are cheaper.
3. Buy both legs of the journey at the same time. Airlines and agencies usually offer better prices for a return ticket than for two one-way tickets bought separately.
4. Use a search engine that brings together almost every airline and flight, so that booking the ticket you want is as simple as possible.

The Kutaisi – Athens route in detail

The distance between Kutaisi and Athens is roughly 1,660 kilometres as the crow flies. Wizz Air operates the route with an Airbus A321neo, and depending on the season there are around three to four flights a week on average. The exact timetable changes through the year, so always check the operating days before you book.

Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) lies about 14 kilometres from the city and serves as a Wizz Air base, with the airline flying from here to more than twenty European destinations. Regular buses run to the airport from Kutaisi, Tbilisi and Batumi, and their timetables are built around flight times.

How to get from Athens airport to the city centre

Athens “Eleftherios Venizelos” Airport sits east of the city centre and is connected to it in several ways:

• Metro, blue line (Line 3) — takes you straight from the airport to Syntagma Square in about 40 minutes, and to the port of Piraeus in around an hour. Trains towards the airport run less frequently than on the rest of the network, so check the timetable in advance.
• Express bus X95 — runs to Syntagma Square around the clock; the journey takes about an hour depending on traffic. At night, when the metro is closed, this is the most convenient option.
• Suburban railway (Proastiakos) — links the airport with Piraeus and the northern districts of the city.
• Taxi — a fixed fare applies between the airport and the city centre, and it differs between daytime and night-time hours.

What documents do you need for a trip to Athens?

Greece is a member of the Schengen area. Citizens of Georgia holding a biometric passport can travel to Schengen countries without a visa and stay for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Your passport must be valid for at least three months beyond your return date.

At the border you may be asked for a return ticket, an accommodation booking, travel insurance and proof of sufficient funds, so keep this information to hand. The European Union is also gradually introducing new border-control systems (biometric registration at the border and the ETIAS electronic authorisation), so check the rules in force on an official source before you travel.

Time difference, currency and other practicalities

Athens is one hour behind Georgia in summer and two hours behind in winter — so if you leave Kutaisi in the morning, you arrive in Athens at almost the same clock time. The currency of Greece is the euro; card payments are accepted almost everywhere, though cash is handy in small cafés and at markets. The power sockets are the European type (C/F), the same as in Georgia, so you will not need an adapter.

What to see in Athens

• The Acropolis and the Parthenon — the city’s defining landmark; go early in the morning or in the evening, when it is cooler and the queues are shorter.
• The Acropolis Museum — the original sculptures and archaeological finds, at the foot of the hill.
• Plaka and Monastiraki — the old quarters, with narrow streets, tavernas and a flea market.
• Lycabettus Hill — the finest panorama of the city, especially at sunset.
• Cape Sounion — the Temple of Poseidon above the sea, about an hour and a half from the centre.
• The nearby islands — Aegina, Hydra and Poros are easy to reach by ferry from Piraeus for a day trip.
