Best time to fly this route
For short-haul routes like Athens → Istanbul, the shoulder-season months (typically April–May and September–October) are cheaper than peak summer or Christmas.

Both nonstop and connecting flights are available on this route — nonstop options are usually worth the price difference for shorter trips. These are general booking patterns, not a guarantee — the best way to know for sure is to compare live prices for your exact dates.
