The answer
The Destination and the Gateway
Most private flights to Athens land at Athens International Airport. From there, the journey continues to a hotel in the city, a villa on the Riviera, a yacht in Piraeus or the marinas, or onward to Mykonos, Santorini and the other Greek islands.

Handling
General Aviation Handling
Handling agent
Private flights at Athens are supported through general-aviation handling; the agent and arrangements are confirmed with the operator for your flight.
Arrival
Crew, handling and ground transport are aligned so the car is ready when passengers clear arrival formalities.
Border formalities
Passport, Schengen and customs requirements depend on origin and nationality and are confirmed before departure, never assumed.
Departure
Departure timings, catering and baggage are confirmed the day before, with the handler and chauffeur briefed.
Peak summer
Peak-Summer Operations
Peak months
July and August are the busiest weeks for aircraft, slots, parking and island connections.
Island constraints
Island airports can be far more constrained than Athens; aircraft often drop passengers and reposition.
Plan B
Where an island arrival is impractical, Athens plus an onward sector or yacht keeps the trip on schedule.
