Lowest fares from Toronto to Athens
What to know before you book Toronto to Athens
Air Canada and Air Transat fly nonstop from Toronto to Athens (ATH), mostly in the warmer months. Most travellers go on to the islands, so the real planning is the second leg: a ferry from Piraeus or Rafina, or a short domestic flight.
Plan the island leg
If you land in the morning, a same-day ferry or flight to the islands is possible, but give yourself a few hours' buffer. A late transatlantic flight won't make a separate ferry wait. Overnighting in Athens on the first night is the stress-free option.
Outside the season
The nonstops are seasonal, so in winter you'll connect, usually in Montréal or a European hub. November to March is the cheapest time, and many island hotels and ferries run reduced schedules then.
Schengen rules
Greece is in the Schengen Area: Canadians can stay up to 90 days in any 180 without a visa. The EU's Entry/Exit System now records fingerprints and a photo at the border, and the ETIAS travel authorisation isn't required yet.
