Athens International Airport El. Venizelos by 4transfers.com

Athens International Airport El. Venizelos by 4transfers.com; The Athens International Airport “Eleftherios Venizelos” is the new modern airport that has replaced the obsolete International Airport of Ellinikon, which has been continuously used for almost sixty years.

The Eleftherios Venizelos airport is located at the east of Athens near the town of Spata (35 Kilometers – 22 miles from the city center) and received its name from the prominent Greek politician Eleftherios Venizelos. It began operating on March 29 of 2001 and has been the biggest and most used airport in Greece since then.

The new airport has been built under the highest standards of safety and it offers services of remarkable quality and efficiency. The advanced systems that are in use and the intelligent coordination of all the services that are provided inside the airport enable the passengers to travel with ease. Thus, the airport has been ranked among the best airports in Europe and certainly the most significant of all the Southeastern European airports.
