Chisinau after Athens: different architecture, same deep soul

Direct flights from Athens to Chisinau take you to a city that doesn’t shout — it speaks with quiet sincerity. Athens is majestic, bustling, and carved from stone. Chisinau is calm, green, and inviting. But behind its simplicity lies a city with deep history, distinct character, and countless moments worth remembering.

First mentioned in 1436, Chisinau may not boast grand amphitheaters, but it has endured wars and earthquakes — always finding a way to rise again. Its facades may not reveal it, but the city holds a quiet resilience: the strength to recover and move forward.

Things to do in Chisinau

After your Athens — Chisinau flight, the city welcomes you not with tourist crowds but with tranquil parks, the aroma of coffee, and a warm, inviting atmosphere.

We recommend:

• stroll by the lake in Valea Morilor Park;
• take a photo near the Triumphal Arch;
• try plăcintă, a traditional pastry, with pumpkin and cheese;
• explore legendary wine cellars, deeper than Cretan myths.

But most importantly, Chisinau offers space to breathe.

Useful tips for your trip

To make your trip stress-free and free of surprises, we've put together some tried-and-true tips to help you during your flight from Athens to Chisinau and beyond.

✔ How do I get to Athens Airport?
Athens Eleftherios Venizelos Airport (ATH) is located 20 km from the city center. The most convenient way to get there is by metro (Line 3), which goes directly to the airport. There are also express buses (X95 — from Syntagma Square) that run around the clock. Taxis offer a more comfortable ride but are more expensive, especially at night.

✔ How long is the Athens — Chisinau flight?
The flight from Athens to Chisinau takes approximately 2 hours. It’s just enough time to relax after your stay in Greece, enjoy a coffee on board, or simply gather your thoughts.

✔ What essentials should you keep on hand?
We advise you to pack your passport, charger, documents for transfer or connecting tickets, medicines (if necessary), and a light snack in your hand luggage. Even though the flight is short, it’s always smart to keep these essentials within reach.

✔ When is the best time to buy tickets?
To find cheap Athens — Chisinau tickets, book them in advance. Watch for ticket promotions, use promo codes, and don’t forget to check the Athens — Chisinau flight schedule — it’s flexible, so you can easily find the most convenient option.

✔ What about transportation upon arrival in Chisinau?
Chisinau Airport is easily accessible from the city center:
— Bus #30 (to the city center, runs every 30 minutes);
— Bus 165 (faster, but less convenient with luggage);
— Bolt or iTaxi are good options to avoid overpriced taxis near the terminal.

✔ Cash or card?
The official currency in Moldova is the Moldovan Leu (MDL). Bank cards are accepted almost everywhere, but it is better to have some cash for transportation, markets, or small purchases. The most cost-effective is to withdraw money from an ATM than to exchange it at the airport.

After your Athens — Chisinau flight, you can easily continue your journey by bus (Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Chernivtsi), train, or book a transfer. Chisinau Airport is a great starting point for traveling to various regions of Ukraine.
