Travel & Accommodations
Athens International Airport (AIA)
For those traveling to Greece, this is the Airport you will want to fly into. Keep in mind, you can always arrange with your hotel for a shuttle to pick you up versus the option of taking a cab.
COVID Update:
On May 17th Greece will officially announce the rules and regulations for the summer. Most people expect all restrictions to be dropped from the retail and tourism industries. Having the COVID vaccine is strongly recommended by most health professionals for your personal health.
That aside we recognize that there are many people that have valid concerns about taking a vaccine. For anyone who does not have a completed vaccine, they can still travel freely with a double negative covid test (Not the PCR one) 72 hours before the flight.

AirBNB
For anyone who wishes to utilize AIRBNB the company has had a very active service in Athens, Greece. I am not certain how the past year has affected listings bust on average you could find extremely clean and organized listings from superhosts for anywhere between 40-80 Euros a day.
As a few suggestions go, please make sure you are looking at a location close to the center of Glyfada, as that will be where most of the shops/nightlife/restaurants are and most of us will be.
As help, I have included a few listings that all looked good at various price points starting from the low ($70 and going to the highest $240) Even if these are taken when you look, you can use the location as a guide.
