British Airways and Aegean Airlines fly direct from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (ATH), in about 3 hours 40 minutes.

Once you land

The Parthenon still stands on the Acropolis above the modern city, and the Acropolis Museum below shows its sculptures. Ferries leave the port of Piraeus for the Cyclades and the Saronic islands.
