The best US airport for Greece
Not the cheapest gateway overall — the cheapest for this country, taken as the median of its fares to every Greece city we price. A gateway with one strong route and four weak ones does not win here, which is the point.

What your choice of city is worth
$201 separates Athens from Mykonos on median. That is enough to pay for a train or an intra-Europe hop and still be ahead, so the cheap entry point is worth pricing before you assume you have to fly to your actual destination. It is not free — a separate ticket means no protection if the first leg is late, and bags are paid for twice.
Common questions
- How much does it cost to fly to Greece from the US?
- A median of $945 round trip in economy across the 3 Greece cities we price, collected August 30, 2026 for departures in the following six months. The cheapest single fare was $571 into Athens from Chicago. Among the 6 European countries where we price at least 3 cities, that ranks Greece 6 of 6.
- Which city is cheapest to fly into in Greece?
- Athens, at a $764 median against $965 for Mykonos — a gap of $201. Entering Greece through its cheapest airport and continuing overland or on an intra-Europe fare is frequently cheaper than flying to the city you actually want, and that gap is what makes it worth checking.
- Which US airport is cheapest for flights to Greece?
- Los Angeles, at a $818 median across 3 Greece cities, then Boston at $839. This is a different question from which US airport is cheapest overall: a gateway can be strong to one city in a country and ordinary to the rest, so we take the median across all of them.
- Is it worth flying into a different Greece city than the one I want?
- Often, yes. The gap between Athens and Mykonos is $201 on median, which is enough to pay for a train or a budget hop with money left over. Price the cheap entry point before assuming you have to fly to your actual destination.
