Car Rental Athens Airport: discover the Greek capital

Athens, the Greek capital is always worth a visit with a rental car. Athens is not only the capital city but also has many beautiful beaches and excursions on the peninsula of Attica. In addition, the city has a long history that can be found everywhere in the districts. And also the culture is not neglected. Especially the Acropolis with its Parthenon is often associated with Athens. You are therefore flexible with a rental car, which you could rent cheaply in advance via the price comparison on the Internet and which is made available to you on arrival at the airport car rental collection point. You don't have to rely on public transport or local tour operators, but you can start your holiday at the airport with your own individual car rental service.

Whether you would like to start a round trip through the beautiful city of Athens first, or if you would prefer to spend a few days on the peninsula of Attica at the beginning, is entirely up to you. The International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos Athens ATH is conveniently located for both types of holidays.

General information about Athens Airport ATH

The International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos Athens ATH is a very new and young airport, which only started operating in 2001 and was handed over to international air traffic. The building of the International Airport Athens consists of a main terminal on two levels. The special feature of this airport is that there are many shopping facilities, which are not only used by waiting passengers. For example, there are 30 shops here that offer their goods from all areas, such as books, clothing or electronic items, in the shopping center on the ground floor of the main building. For the time of shopping or waiting for your flight, you can use the childcare provided by trained specialists for your young children.

In addition, there are other shops behind the security barriers that you can visit on departure. In the immediate vicinity of Athens International Airport, there is also a hotel where you can spend the first night if your flight has landed late in the evening and you want to continue your journey with the car hire service of a car rental company, which you have found and rented at reasonable prices in advance by comparing prices.

Where can you pick up your Rental Car at Athens Airport?

The car hire company has a pick-up point at Athens Airport directly in the main terminal on arrival of the flights. After your flight, you can pick up your luggage on the baggage carousels and immediately after passing through the barriers, you can see the counters of the pick-up station of your car rental company. This means that you can also pick up your rental car in just a few minutes after picking up your luggage. When picking up your car, which you could rent cheaply on the Internet, keep in mind that many passengers book a rental car and there may be some waiting times at the pick-up station of your car rental company.

Furthermore, you usually have to leave a deposit at the pick-up station for the car of the car rental company. This will be charged to your credit card, the amount of the deposit will be refunded at the end of your holiday when you return the rental car. Information about the deposit for your car can also be obtained in advance on the Internet, if you rent a car from the local car rental company. The rental cars are all parked in one of the car parks in front of the airport, from here you can quickly leave the airport area by car.

Where can you refuel your Rental Car at Athens Airport?

Of course there are many petrol stations all over Attica and in Athens. But the airport is not located directly in Athens, so you have to drive your rental car over the motorway to reach the capital of Greece. However, there is a petrol station with a 24-hour service directly at Athens Airport at the A62 motorway exit. This way you can immediately refuel your car if it has been handed over to you with an empty tank at the pick-up station of the car rental company. You should obtain information on how to refuel your rental car when you receive it.

Traffic rules in Greece: important information for you

The Athenians are all fast on the road with their vehicles and like to push a little bit the slower driving ones. However, don't let yourself be distracted by this, they have vacations and over speeding can also become expensive when renting a car. Normally, there are no flash units on the roads, but the police often use mobile devices to hunt fast drivers. And it is also possible that a police car is driving behind you and is waving you out if you are travelling too fast with your rental car from the airport pick-up point, which you could rent at a low price from the local car rental company via the Internet. More traffic rules: 

  • Don't pick up your mobile phone while driving
  • Use a hands-free system for your phone
  • Children up to the age of 12 need a child seat

A round trip with a Rental Car in Athens

Athens is big, but with a car rental company that you could rent a car online in advance and have at your disposal at the pick-up point at Athens Airport ATH, you can quickly and easily reach the city's many sights and cultural attractions. So you can start your trip within a few minutes from the hotel to the city center. Long waiting times for public transport or booking with a local tour operator for sightseeing can thus be dispensed with.

Of course, it is a must in Athens to visit the Acropolis with the Parthenon and the newly built Museum of Ancient Greek History. But also the old town, which invites you to stroll and linger in one of the many street cafés or taverns, as well as the Syntagma Square, the central square in Athens with its government building, are definitely worth a visit. With your rental car, you can rent a car cheaply on the Internet and pick it up at Eleftherios Venizelos airport just a few minutes after your arrival. You can visit the marvellous marina of Piraeus and spend the afternoon or evening here in one of the many restaurants with a view of the sea.

Discovering the attic with a rental car

The airport and the capital of Greece, Athens, are located on the peninsula of Attica in the south of the country. Here along the coast you can drive to many beautiful long sandy beaches along the Mediterranean Sea from Athens Airport by car. With the mountains in the background you have a particularly beautiful view over the land and the water. The coast is not crowded by tourists, large hotel strongholds look here in vain. In the many small coastal towns there are family run accommodations and no hotel is very large. So you can spend a wonderful and relaxing as well as cultural vacation here with the rental car, which you could book in advance in the Internet favorably, because also here, at the southern tip of Greece you will find again and again excavation places from the time before Christ. If you have more time to spend in Athen, a trip to Thessaloniki or Crete is recommended.
