A Guide to Local Flavors
Greek airports are excellent places to try authentic local snacks. If you see these items on the menu, here is what to expect:
The Coffee Culture
In Greece, coffee is a ritual. The most popular choice during summer is the Freddo Espresso (double espresso blended with ice) or the Freddo Cappuccino (topped with cold milk foam). These are not just iced coffees; they are a staple of the lifestyle. For a more traditional experience, ask for a Greek Coffee (Ellinikos), usually served hot and accompanied by a small glass of water.
Signature Snacks
Bakery counters (often found at Everest or Venetis) feature savory pies known as "Pitas".Spanakopita (spinach and feta pie) and Tiropita (cheese pie) are the most common. For a lighter snack, try a Koulouri, a sesame-covered bread ring that is healthy, vegan-friendly, and perfect for travel.
Opening Hours
Dining outlets within the terminal generally operate in alignment with the flight schedule. During the high summer season, key locations such as the main coffee shops and burger restaurants remain open to serve the first wave of morning departures and stay active until the final flight boards. However, landside cafes may close earlier in winter.
Water & Alcohol Rules
In most Greek island airports (like Mykonos or Santorini), tap water is not potable. It is advisable to purchase bottled water after security. Regarding alcohol, while it is available at airport bars, excessive consumption may lead to denied boarding.
Family Facilities
Most food courts provide high chairs for infants. If you need to warm a baby bottle, staff at any of the coffee chains are generally happy to assist by providing a cup of hot water.
In a rush?
Most of these locations offer "Grab & Go" options perfect for taking onto your flight.
