When to fly

The warmest period in Athens is July and August, with an average temperature of around 32°C. The coolest and rainiest weather occurs in January and February, when temperatures drop to +6°C and rainfall reaches its annual peak.

From a budget perspective, it is most advantageous to plan your flight for August, when the minimum ticket price starts AED 229. Prices peak in April—during this month, fares start AED 460.

For a comfortable trip, September is optimal: the sweltering heat subsides, and the flight cost AED 279 remains affordable. We recommend avoiding April if your primary goal is to save as much as possible on your tickets.
