The Athens International Airport is the top rated airport in Europe based on Google reviews

Thessaloniki Airport was in the 11th spot

Newsroom January 12 07:07

The Athens International Airport is the best in Europe, according to Google reviews published by British travel site Holidu.uk.co.

Using data from Google Maps, the study was conducted using the average Google rating and the number of reviews to create the ultimate European airport ranking. Read on to discover these top-notch airports to book your next flight as well as some insider tips including, amenities and delay information.

1. Athens International Airport, Greece – Avg. 4.4 stars, 24,467 reviews

It’s official – Athens Airport is the best airport in Europe! As the biggest and most known airport in Greece, ATH is located 33 kilometres away from the city centre. Greece has gotten by relativity unscathed from the European flight mania, with most of the delays being experienced at the departing airports with inbound flights to Greece. Have a layover? You can enjoy baggage storage options, airport lounges, archaeological artefacts exhibitions, and a wide selection of restaurants and cafes. Athens Airport has so much to offer its travellers!

The Thessaloniki Airport also ranked high in the study just missing out on the top 10 list as it came in 11th with an average score of 4.2.

However, Heraklion Airport was voted by the reviewers as one of the worst in Europe getting a meagre Avg. of 2.8 stars, from 10,791 reviews.

Most complaints are about how crowded and poorly equipped the airport is for its traffic volume. It may be worth checking out Chania International Airport (4.0 / 3,678) which is rated much higher and is just a 2-hour drive from Heraklion.
