Cheap flights from Athens International to Toronto Pearson International

To go from Athens to Toronto is to go from one of the world's most ancient cities to one of its most modern ones. Athens offers visitors a plethora of attractions, most famously the Acropolis, and it is a popular connecting point for tourists travelling to or from the Greek Islands. Because Greece is a sunny destination, it is particularly popular with Canadians looking for a warm getaway that also offers lots of cultural attractions.

The Athens to Toronto route is currently served by two airlines, Air Canada and Air Transat. However, both airlines only fly this route directly on a seasonal basis. Outside the high season you will have to grab a connecting flight, often through Amsterdam, London, or Paris. Skyscanner's Price Alerts are a great way to help you nab any seat sale on this popular route. You can also use the monthly search tool to find out when the cheapest and most convenient time to fly may be.

Inside: Athens International Airport

All flights are checked in at the Main Terminal. If you are flying directly to Toronto Pearson you will have to head to Hall A to find your gate. If you are connecting through a European city then head to Hall B. The Athens International Airport is a new facility and has won widespread praise for its easy-to-navigate design. Check-in and security are generally quick and painless and, unlike many other airports, prices at shops and restaurants are comparable to what you would pay outside the airport. The airport is particularly well known for catering to families with small children and you will find a children's play area and, often, check-in lines that are exclusively for families to use. Remember that this is an international route so don't forget your passport!

Landing in Toronto Pearson International

If you are flying with Air Canada or another Star Alliance airline you will land at Terminal 1 of Toronto Pearson, whereas Air Transat and most other airlines will land at Terminal 3. Both terminals are directly adjacent to the parking garage, where you can find a number of car rental agencies if you would like tohire a car for your stay. Alternatively, the UP Express train service departs from Terminal 1 and is perhaps the fastest way of getting to downtown.

While you are in Toronto you can enjoy some of the sites and attractions that this city has to offer. If you find yourself already missing the flavours of Greece then head to the Danforth, which is Toronto's Greek neighbourhood. The city has some top notch museums, including the Royal Ontario Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Ontario Science Centre. If you have a day to spare, then a visit to Niagara Falls, about an hour's drive away, is definitely not to be missed. Skyscanner can help you find a hotel in Toronto or the surrounding area at a great price.
