The trip starts and ends in Athens. The nearest international airport is Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos" (Airport code: ATH). As the trip to Athens tends to be a long one for most, we recommend arriving at least a day earlier to account for any flight delays or cancellations, to explore some of Athen's museums and sights such as the Acropolis that are not part of the program, and to rest before the start of the tour. If you plan to arrive on the day the tour starts, we recommend landing no later than 9am so you can make it to the Welcome brunch on time for the 11am start. You can depart anytime after midnight on departure day.
