at Athens International Airport.
Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH) is 20 km east of central Athens in Spata. The airport has a main terminal and a satellite terminal connected by an underground link with moving walkways. The satellite handles some long-haul and additional short-haul gates. Chauffeurs meet passengers in the arrivals hall of the main terminal on the ground floor; all arriving passengers reclaim baggage and exit through the main terminal.
Practical tips for ATH.
All arrivals exit through the main terminal
Even flights using the satellite gates clear immigration and reclaim baggage in the main terminal. The arrivals hall is on the ground floor.
Schengen vs non-Schengen
Schengen arrivals skip passport control entirely. Non-Schengen arrivals (UK, US, Turkey, others) clear immigration first. Both routes finish at the same arrivals exit.
Short-term car park near arrivals
The short-term car park sits opposite the arrivals exit, a 2-3 minute covered walk. Drop-off and pickup kerb is set-down only.
