HK$1,844+ Cheap flights to Greece

Peak Season: Mid-June to the end of August is high season for most of Greece, when the temperatures are hottest. Easter time to mid-June is also very popular as the weather is still very warm, though not unbearably hot. You may be able to pick up some cheaper deals at this time of year though. Late August to mid-October is Greece’s shoulder season. The temperatures are still high (substantially higher than the UK and Ireland) and most resorts and attractions still open, but prices are much lower than early or high summer so cheap flights and accommodation are easier to find. Off Season: October to April is off season. Though you will find the cheapest deals at this time, much of the tourist parts of Greece close down around this time. Unless you’re in Athens you may find that there is little to do and hardly any hotels or restaurants that are open.

Flights to Greece vary in duration and price. There are routes with one stopover, two stopovers, and three stopovers. There are also cheaper options with one stopover, and the last leg of the journey can be taken by train. The quicker flights are with Swiss, taking 16h 20min with a short stopover in Zurich of 55min. Longer flights with one or more stops range from 16h-44h 40min. Flights leave from Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) and finally land at Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH) in the main terminal. At Athens Airport, there are various ways to get to the city centre, including bus, taxi, train, metro, and car hire. It takes about 40min. Flights to Greece's second busiest airport, Heraklion International Airport (HER) on the island of Crete, range from 17h 30min–26h.

Unfortunately, when looking for Greece flight deals, there are currently no direct routes. Every trip has one to three stopovers. These flights use multiple air carriers, including Swiss, Turkish Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, KLM, Qatar, and others. Some stopovers take place in Doha, Zurich, Bangkok, Amsterdam, Singapore, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, Istanbul, and a few other cities. Stopovers on the route to Heraklion may include Athens, Frankfurt, Zurich, and Munich with multiple airlines.

There are different ways to get around Greece depending on your destinations and the amount of time you have to explore the country. Plenty of domestic air flights to the different cities in Greece are available, giving you more time for your holiday. Make sure to book beforehand though, as they sell out quickly in the high season. Another choice of travel is by boat. Ferries create a network between the islands and the mainland. Other boating options include catamarans and overnight boats with cabins. Once again, it's best to book ahead of time. Air-conditioned bus is another reliable means of transport between the Greek cities. There are plenty of affordable and frequent bus trips available. Car hire and, for the more adventurous, motorcycle hire give you more flexibility and are available everywhere. Travel by train is a little limited and not recommended. The popular trip from Athens to Santorini can be taken by overnight ferry, with sleeping cabins the most comfortable option for a nine-hour ferry ride.

Greece's ancient mythology, archaeology, history, art, and philosophy add to the fascination of the country. Found throughout the romantic islands surrounded by azure seas are crumbling ruins, museums, and scenic coastal towns. When in Athens, you can't miss the Acropolis. The ancient marble architecture with the Doric columns and spectacular temples lined with pathways allow you to stroll around at your leisure to reach the highlight of the complex, the iconic Parthenon. Venture to the islands and experience places like the beautiful Santorini with some of the best views in the country. See the Gramvousa Peninsula on the island of Crete with a visit to Balos Beach, an amazing place to relax and enjoy the ocean. The beach comprises lagoons with water so clear that the fish and shellfish are visible. For the more active, you can hike the challenging Corfu Trail over a few days, which takes you through various landscapes. Historians will enjoy the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Delphi on the side of Mount Parnassus.

Although a Greek tourist visa is not needed for citizens of Hong Kong for a stay up to 90 days in any six-month period from the date of first entry, you still require a passport. Please check with the airlines from your cheap flights to Greece regarding your connecting flights in case the countries you pass through need a separate transit visa. Then check that your passport is valid for six months after your travel dates and that it has a few blank pages. Finally, always double-check with the Greek embassy on any updated requirements.
