The Long-Term Athens Airport Parking Lot
On the other hand, Athens Airport provides a Parking area for long-term parking purposes. Operating 24/7, the Long Term Parking has more than 5.800 parking spots and is to be found across the Attiki Odos motorway, only 5-10 minutes away on foot from the terminal building. However, there is also a free shuttle bus, connecting the Long Term Parking area and the Athens airport terminal in just 8 minutes. Special parking spots are reserved for persons with disabilities. As mentioned above, it is recommended to book your parking space online so as to receive discounts and special benefits. Card payments also come with special discounts.
Our Tip: The Economy Athens Airport Parking Lots are located on either side of the Long Term Car Park, 8-10 minutes from the terminal building via the free airport shuttle. They are an even more affordable option, as the first 1000 parking spaces of the day are charged the “Early Booking Price” (5€/5.51$ per day).
The Motorcycle Parking Area
Finally, there is a designated area for motorcycles at the Short Term P1, at the curbside of the Arrivals level. The Motorcycle Parking area is accessible through a separate entrance, 200 meters before the P1 main entrance.
