Leaving from Adelaide Airport (ADL)
Domestic and international flights share one terminal at Adelaide, so families positioning to Melbourne or Sydney for a non-stop start in the same building — but book the domestic leg on the same ticket (or allow 3 h+) because the gateway transfer is the risky part.
Arriving at Athens International Airport (Eleftherios Venizelos) (ATH)
- Athens has one main terminal plus a satellite; it's roughly 30–40 km from central Athens.
- Metro Line 3 and the X95 express bus run to Syntagma (about 40–60 minutes). For the islands, ferries leave from Piraeus or Rafina, or connect on a domestic flight from the same terminal.
