Routes and connections
A long north-south pair: Athens has fewer short-haul options than Berlin, so the balanced answers usually sit in Italy, the Adriatic or Central Europe rather than truly halfway.
Suggested trip length
Four to five nights — the flights are long enough that a weekend feels rushed.
Departure airports used here: ATH and BER. Change the dates above to recalculate — fares move a lot by day of week and season.

What the numbers mean
Are these real fares?
On this free page the fares are modelled estimates for one economy return ticket per traveller, built from flight distance, how competitive the route is and the season of your dates. They are for comparing cities, not a quote. Signed-in trips can use live fares from our flight data provider.
Total or per person?
The headline figure is the group total: both return flights added together. Each card also shows the per-person figure and the price for each side separately. All prices are shown in euros (EUR).
Baggage and extras
Estimates assume a standard economy return with cabin baggage only. Checked bags, seat selection, transfers to the airport and hotels are not included.
How fairness is calculated
Fairness is 100 minus the share of total flying time that separates the two journeys: equal flight times score 100, and the score falls as one traveller's flight grows relative to the other. Ranking uses combined cost with a penalty for lopsided journeys, which is why the absolute cheapest city is not always first.
Airports we consider
We fly you from your own city's airport whenever it has one, and only fall back to another airport within 200 km when it does not. Candidate destinations must be more than 220 km from both departure points, so nobody is sent somewhere they could drive.
Freshness and booking links
Results are calculated when you press the button, for the exact dates you enter. Prices change constantly and can differ by the time you book. Every leg links out to a prefilled Google Flights search for that route and those dates — we are not the seller and take no commission on the link.
