Blackcars Athens Airport Transfer — ATH Private Transfer Service

Private transfer and chauffeur service from Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH) to all Athens destinations and beyond — city centre, Piraeus port, Cape Sounion, Nafplio, Delphi, Corinth, and all Greek and European destinations. Main Terminal and Satellite Terminal. Flight tracking included. Meet and greet in the arrivals hall. Greece's primary international gateway.

Athens International Airport (ATH) — Greece's Gateway to the World

Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos (IATA: ATH), named after the great Greek statesman and pioneer of early aviation Eleftherios Venizelos, is the largest and busiest airport in Greece and the principal hub of the Balkan region. Located in Spata, approximately 33 kilometres east of central Athens, it handled over 31.8 million passengers in 2024 — exceeding pre-pandemic levels — and connects Athens to 167 destinations served by 66 airlines.

The airport has two terminal buildings connected by an underground walkway with moving walkways: the Main Terminal, which operates across three levels with Hall A for non-Schengen arrivals and Hall B for Schengen and domestic arrivals; and the Satellite Terminal, used primarily during peak tourist season. The terminal structure is modern and efficient, but the 33-kilometre distance from the city centre — traversed via the Attiki Odos ring road and Kifisias Avenue — means the transfer time to central Athens is variable and traffic-dependent. Pre-booked private chauffeur with real-time traffic monitoring is the only transfer option that adjusts dynamically to actual conditions.

How It Works

• Flight tracking — your driver monitors your flight from departure, adjusting to your actual landing at no extra charge
• Meet and greet — your driver waits in the arrivals hall (Hall A for non-Schengen, Hall B for Schengen) with a name sign, assists with luggage, and escorts you to the vehicle
• Hall A or Hall B — specify your arrival hall at booking based on your origin. Intercontinental and non-Schengen arrivals use Hall A; European Schengen and domestic flights use Hall B
• Fixed price confirmed in advance — no meter, no surge, no surprises
• Door to door — direct to your hotel, marina, port, or any destination in Greece or beyond

Transfer Destinations & Journey Times from Athens Airport (ATH)

* Approximate times under normal traffic. Athens traffic is heavily congested during weekday peak hours (08:00–10:00 and 17:00–20:00) and during summer weekend afternoons. The Attiki Odos ring road is the main variable. Your driver monitors conditions in real time and selects the optimal route.

Important: Rafina Port — The Closer Alternative for Aegean Islands

Rafina Port is located just 15 kilometres from Athens Airport — a 15 to 22 minute transfer — and offers fast ferry connections to Mykonos, Santorini, Naxos, Paros, and other Cyclades islands. For travellers arriving at ATH and connecting to Aegean islands, Rafina is significantly more convenient than Piraeus (45 kilometres from the airport). We specialise in airport-to-Rafina transfers for island-hopping travellers arriving at ATH.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Hall A and Hall B at Athens Airport?

Hall A in the Main Terminal handles arrivals from non-Schengen countries — the United States, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Israel, and all non-EU Schengen arrivals. Hall B handles arrivals from within the Schengen Area (most EU countries and Switzerland, Norway, Iceland). Your boarding pass and immigration signage in the terminal will direct you to the correct hall. Specify your origin country at booking and we position your driver at the correct exit.

How long does the Athens Airport to Piraeus port transfer take?

From Athens Airport to Piraeus port takes approximately 45 to 65 minutes by private chauffeur via the Attiki Odos ring road. We strongly recommend pre-booking this transfer for cruise embarkation days — Piraeus is one of Europe's busiest passenger ports, and transport availability on embarkation days is strained.

Is Rafina port closer to Athens Airport than Piraeus for island connections?

Yes, significantly. Rafina is 15 kilometres from the airport — approximately 15 to 22 minutes by private chauffeur — versus Piraeus at 45 kilometres (45 to 65 minutes). Rafina serves Mykonos, Santorini, Naxos, Paros, and other Cyclades with frequent fast ferries. For island-hopping travellers arriving at ATH, Rafina is often the most logical first connection.

Does the driver wait if my flight is delayed?

Yes. Your driver monitors your flight in real time and adjusts to your actual landing. There is no additional charge for delays within the standard waiting period.

Can you arrange a transfer from Athens Airport directly to Epidaurus for a festival performance?

Yes. Athens Airport to Epidaurus is approximately 155 kilometres — 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes via the Corinth motorway. We operate return transfers for festival-goers attending performances at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus during the summer season.
