Airport Codes for Greece

Looking for airfares to Greece on line? These IATA codes will help you get the rates for Athens, Greece instead of Athens, Georgia!

Finding Your Right Airport

Airports in Greece usually have at least two "official" names. The first and most commonly used is usually the placename with Airport or International Airport added. The second gets a little trickier - it usually honors a famed local historic or mythological figure. This means that in a few cases, very different airports may have similar names. There are two Odysseas Airports, two that begin with "Ioannis", and so on. Sometimes, these secondary names occur in two forms - the Greek form and the English translation. Before clicking "Book it", make doubly sure that you are choosing the right airport for your destination.

Also, many of the smaller airport codes are similar to each other and may not have any obvious connection with the name of the town or Greek island. Using JSI instead of JSY, or vice versa, will get you on the wrong island entirely.
