Summer Transfers in Athens with Kids – Beat the Heat and the Crowds

Visiting Athens in Summer with Kids? Here’s How to Beat the Heat

Athens in summer is magical—but it can also be hot, crowded, and overwhelming, especially when traveling with children. Between airport arrivals, heavy bags, cranky toddlers, and long lines for taxis, your first impression of the city can either be calm and collected… or sweaty chaos.

At TravelTransfer.gr, we know what family travel in Greece really looks like—and we’re here to help you make it smooth, cool, and stress-free from the moment you land.

Why Summer in Athens Can Be Challenging for Families

From late June to early September, Athens becomes one of Europe’s most visited capitals. That means:

  • High temperatures (often 35–40°C / 95–104°F)

  • Busy public transport (not stroller-friendly)

  • Taxi queues at the airport

  • Tired, jet-lagged kids in need of AC and snacks

Now add two suitcases, a car seat, and maybe a baby nap emergency… and the local bus might not feel so charming.
