Practical tips
For this flight, your departure point is the airport. Piraeus, Rafina and Lavrio are ferry ports, so you do not need any of them. Check your booking confirmation for the departure airport before leaving your hotel.
Summer is when seats and island connections sell out first. If your dates are fixed, especially in July and August, secure your ticket as soon as you can rather than waiting for a last-minute deal.
Thassos is an island, so check where your flight lands and how you will reach the island afterwards. Look at the onward options before booking, and avoid planning tight connections on the same day.
Airlines differ on cabin and hold luggage allowances. If you travel with a backpack or a large suitcase, confirm what is included in your fare before paying, so there are no surprises at the check-in desk.
Weather and air traffic can cause delays in summer. Do not book a non-refundable hotel or tour for the very first evening, and keep your confirmation handy on your phone in case plans shift.
