ElidaFlew with Aegean Airlines-Jun 2024
Athens airport is confusing. For international, you need to leave the terminal, go to the other side of the airport, go back through security and then through customs. Takes more than 1 hour. Hardly any female bathrooms. Chania was an easy, clean, and friendly airport.
