One of the biggest advantages of staying in Artemida is its convenient location close to Athens International Airport (ATH).

Unlike many coastal destinations around Athens that require a longer journey after your flight, Artemida lies on the eastern side of Attica, making it a practical choice for travellers who want to combine easy airport access with beaches, the sea and the privacy of a holiday villa.

If you are staying at Azure Harmony Pool Villa, there are several ways to reach Artemida from Athens Airport.

Here is what you need to know.

How Far Is Artemida from Athens Airport?

Athens International Airport is located at Spata, in eastern Attica, while Artemida lies directly towards the coast.

Azure Harmony Pool Villa is approximately 12 km from Athens International Airport, making the airport one of the property's major advantages.

Actual driving time depends on traffic, your exact route and the time of day, but the journey is considerably shorter than travelling from the airport into central Athens and then back towards the coast.

For guests arriving after a long flight, travelling with children or carrying several pieces of luggage, that proximity can make the beginning of a holiday significantly easier.

1. Taxi from Athens Airport to Artemida

For most international visitors, a taxi is one of the simplest options.

Official taxis are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week from the designated taxi waiting area at Exit 3 on the Arrivals Level of Athens International Airport. Athens International Airport

After collecting your luggage, simply follow the airport signs towards the official taxi rank.

Because Artemida is outside central Athens, you should not assume that the fixed Athens city-centre airport fare applies. The airport's official €40 daytime and €55 nighttime flat fares specifically concern journeys between the airport and the Athens city-centre inner ring. Athens International Airport

For Artemida, ask about the applicable fare for your specific destination.

Best for: Couples, families, late arrivals and travellers with luggage.

A Useful Tip

Use the official airport taxi rank or arrange a legitimate pre-booked transfer.

Pre-booked taxis have a separate designated waiting area at Athens Airport, while ride-hailing services also use designated pickup points. Athens International Airport

This is especially useful if you arrive late at night or simply want someone waiting for you when your flight lands.

2. Private Airport Transfer

For the most convenient arrival experience, a pre-arranged private transfer can be an excellent option.

Instead of looking for transportation after landing, your journey to Artemida can already be organised before you arrive.

This can be particularly convenient for:

• Families travelling with children
• Groups of friends
• Guests carrying several suitcases
• Late-night arrivals
• First-time visitors to Greece
• Travellers who simply prefer a door-to-door service

Athens Airport has designated areas for pre-booked transportation, making organised pickups straightforward. Athens International Airport

Best for: Maximum convenience and stress-free arrival.

3. Bus from Athens Airport towards Artemida

Travellers looking for a more economical option can also consider the KTEL Attikis regional bus service.

The airport–Rafina route passes through the wider Artemida area. The official list of stops includes several locations within Artemida before continuing towards Rafina Port. Ktel Attikis

As of the summer 2026 timetable, KTEL Attikis operates multiple services between Athens International Airport and Rafina throughout the day, with a number of services travelling via the coastal route. Ktel Attikis

This makes public transport possible, but there is an important detail:

The bus will not necessarily take you directly to the villa.

Depending on the stop, you may still need to walk or arrange a short taxi journey to reach your accommodation.

For that reason, the bus makes most sense for travellers with light luggage who are comfortable navigating local public transport.

Best for: Budget-conscious travellers and light luggage.

Always Check the Current Timetable

Bus schedules can change according to season and operational requirements.

Rather than relying on a timetable saved months before your trip, check the official KTEL Attikis website shortly before travelling.

This is particularly important during weekends, holidays and seasonal timetable changes. The current 2026 schedule itself contains route variations on certain days. Ktel Attikis

4. Renting a Car at Athens Airport

If you plan to explore more of Attica during your holiday, renting a car can be one of the most practical choices.

Athens International Airport currently has six car-rental companies operating from the Arrivals Level of the Main Terminal Building, according to the airport's official information. Athens International Airport

Having your own vehicle gives you much more freedom once you arrive in Artemida.

You can easily explore:

Vravrona for archaeology and history.

Rafina for the port, restaurants and connections to the Greek islands.

Marathon and Schinias for another side of eastern Attica.

Athens for a day of sightseeing.

Or venture further south towards Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon.

For visitors planning several excursions, a rental car turns Azure Harmony into a convenient base rather than simply a place to stay.

Best for: Families, longer stays and travellers planning day trips.

Taxi, Bus or Rental Car?

The best option depends largely on your plans.

If you simply want to arrive at the villa as easily as possible, taxi or private transfer is the obvious choice.

If keeping transportation costs low is your priority, consider the KTEL bus, provided the timetable and stops suit your arrival.

If you plan to explore eastern Attica and beyond during your stay, renting a car gives you considerably more independence.

There is no universally correct option.

The important thing is that Artemida's proximity to Athens Airport gives you several practical choices.

Arriving Late at Night?

Late arrival is one of the situations where Artemida's location becomes particularly useful.

Official airport taxis operate 24/7, so even travellers arriving on late flights have an onward transportation option. Athens International Airport

If your flight arrives very late, however, we recommend organising your transportation before travelling.

Save your accommodation details on your phone and have the complete destination ready to show your driver.

This avoids unnecessary confusion after a long journey.

Returning to Athens Airport

The same principle applies when it is time to fly home.

Plan your departure according to:

• Your airline's recommended arrival time
• Check-in and baggage requirements
• Passport and security procedures
• Traffic conditions
• The time needed to return a rental car, if applicable

Athens International Airport recommends that passengers check relevant travel requirements with their airline, and current airport procedures can change. Athens International Airport

Give yourself enough time.

The airport may be nearby, but it is still better to enjoy your final morning without worrying about missing your flight.

More Than Just an Airport Stop

It is easy to look at Artemida simply as somewhere convenient near Athens Airport.

But that misses much of what makes the area interesting.

Here you can wake up near the sea, spend the day on the beaches of eastern Attica, enjoy local seafood in the evening and still remain within easy reach of Greece's largest international airport.

That makes Artemida particularly suitable for travellers who want a coastal stay without sacrificing convenient connections.

And because Athens itself remains within reach, you do not necessarily have to choose between a city break and a relaxing Greek summer by the sea.

You can experience both.

Stay Close to Athens Airport — Without Feeling Like You Are

At Azure Harmony Pool Villa, convenient airport access is only part of the story.

Your stay combines the privacy of an entire villa, your own swimming pool and easy access to the Artemida coastline — while Athens International Airport is approximately 12 km away.

Arrive, settle in and let your holiday begin.
