kja, my impression was that OP was looking for another GREEK city to fly into. What you found was what I said -- that in order to fly direct to any other city in Greece beside Athens, you have to first fly to another European airport.

@ travelerjan: Maybe, maybe not. In any case, it might be useful for the OP to think about ways to identify options. And since it would be FALSE to assume that one MUST fly through a Greek city, I thought it worth mentioning. So I'm curious: In what way do you believe your comment clarifies the discussion? It seems that you believe there is some nuance that I must be missing. Knowing my error might help me give better advice in the future. :)
