Athens International Airport (ATH) serves as the primary gateway for travelers heading to Galaxidi, a picturesque coastal town in central Greece. Located approximately 180 km northwest of Athens, the journey typically takes 2–2.5 hours by road. This route offers stunning views of the Corinthian Gulf and connects visitors to Galaxidi’s tranquil harborside charm and proximity to UNESCO-listed Delphi.
Galaxidi is a hidden gem known for its maritime heritage, neoclassical architecture, and serene atmosphere. Once a thriving shipbuilding hub, it now attracts travelers seeking authentic Greek village life blended with cultural attractions like the Maritime Museum and nearby archaeological sites such as Delphi (just 40 minutes away). The town’s pebbled beaches and waterfront tavernas make it ideal for leisurely stays.
After landing at Athens Airport (officially Eleftherios Venizelos), follow signage to baggage claim and exits. Transport options are located outside arrivals: taxis and rideshares queue near Door 3, while car rentals operate from the adjacent Parking Lot. For pre-booked private transfers like those from AtoB Transfer, drivers typically meet passengers at designated areas with name signs.
