Trying to get started on a trip to Greece. KAYAK is showing only one non-stop from NYC to Athens, a co-share between Delta and KLM. Can this be so? One non-stop from the New Rome to the Cradle of Western civilization?

the answer is yes according to the remarkably accurate wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athens_...port#Scheduled

the only non stop flights between the US and Athens are seasonal from JFK (Delta) and Philadelphia (US Airways)

if these aren't suitable you'll need to connect in a major European hub

The "new Rome?" That's a stretch IMO.

Why would that be so unexpected? &Usually there are only a couple nonstops from major US cities to European capitals that are a lot closer to the US than Athens.

Thanks to all but the cantankerous Dukey1, permanently exiled to Florida. Enjoy it, sourpuss.
