What is customs/security like between Italy & Greece
 
Specifically between Greece & Italy. What can I expect as far as Customs & securities go? I may be very ignorant of this issue but I'm thinking it might not be as huge of a deal as it is flying between Canada or the US overseas to Europe. I know that we to expect huge waits & lineups departing & arriving in Canada but I'm wondering about between Countries in Europe.

I should add that the reason I'm asking is not because I can't stand to wait in a line-up & I have no patience. Its just so that I have an idea as to how much time to allow between flights

>Customs
No customs, security depends on the airport.

It is in the airport in Athens. Coming in from Venice on Alitalia at 17:05, departing to Santorini at 19:00 on Aegean.

No need to worry, unless the flight isn't delayed much!, that's almost 2 hours.

I'd say it depends when you're going. When we visited Greece last July, the check-in line for Aegean and security line was very long.

We are going in May. May 20th to be exact. I've heard that security will be pretty casual coming from Venice rather than on an overseas/international flight.
