Cached-fare history: across 7 months, Nov is the cheapest for ATH → TYO. Best time to be there: Mar–May · Oct–Nov.
Fares bottom out in November around $654 and peak in February near $1,014 — a $360 spread across the 7 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 2 stops and takes about 19 hours outbound, on a 16-night trip — ticketed under Ethiopian, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $654 for 9,503 km each way, that works out to about $34 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $44 typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 33 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Tokyo, this fare ranks 10th — 51% above the $434 from New York. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 30 routes of similar length we watch out of Athens, where the middle fare is $867.

How far in advance should I book ATH → Tokyo?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 7 months of cached fares, Nov comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Athens to Tokyo?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Ethiopian. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
