What are domestic flights?

Greek Flag Blue Round Border

A domestic flight within Greece is any flight that departs from one destination in Greece and arrives in another location within Greece. Because Greece is made up of a number of islands, this could mean that the flight lands on a different island, but still a Greek island. For example, a domestic flight in Greece may be one which departs from the mainland from Athens International Airport (ATH), and lands on a different island of Kos at Kos International Airport (KGS) with a flight duration time of around an hour.

Because of the size and nature of Greece that it is made up of over 200 islands, domestic flights are a great option of getting around the country. It is a logical, cheap and quick way of travelling, especially when compared to driving and/or getting a boat.

Typically, Athens International Airport and Thessaloniki Airport are the most popular, and thus the busiest airports for domestic flights, as they are the gateway to the Greek Islands from international destinations. These operate flights to the Greek Islands year-round, rather than just seasonally during the summer months like some of the major European carriers.
