๐ Connection Tips
Zakynthos International Airport (ZTH) operates with a single terminal, so no inter-terminal transfers are required. However, the terminal is divided into Schengen and Non-Schengen zones. Security queues can be long during the summer peak season; allow at least 2 hours for Schengen/domestic flights and 3 hours for non-Schengen departures. Passport control wait times are typically short but can increase with multiple non-Schengen arrivals. Liquids must be in 100ml containers in a single transparent bag.

๐ข Terminal Information
Alexandroupolis Democritus Airport (AXD) serves the city of Alexandroupolis in the Evros regional unit of Greece, acting as a vital air link for the Eastern Macedonia and Thrace region. Located just a few kilometers from the city center and close to the Turkish border, this regional airport primarily handles domestic flights, connecting to Athens, and also sees some seasonal international charter traffic. The terminal building is a compact, modern facility designed for efficient processing of its moderate passenger volume, featuring a clear layout for arrivals and departures.\n\nSecurity screening at AXD adheres to European Union standards. Passengers can expect efficient processing through security checkpoints, which include baggage scanning and personal checks. Due to the airport's modest size and flight volume, wait times are generally minimal. For international flights, passport control is in place. Boarding is typically conducted via a short walk across the tarmac to the aircraft, often turboprops or regional jets. Travelers should be aware that winds off the Thracian Sea can occasionally cause minor delays to operations.\n\nAmenities within the terminal include a small cafรฉ offering beverages and light snacks, along with a duty-free shop for international departures. Basic restrooms and a waiting area with seating are available. For ground transportation, major car rental agencies have desks conveniently located within the terminal building, and taxi services are generally available outside. Public bus services to Alexandroupolis city center are available but may be infrequent, so pre-booking a taxi is advisable for seamless transfers. The airport provides a convenient and welcoming gateway to this northeastern region of Greece.
