Athens Airport Official Luggage Storage
If you’re only staying at the airport for a few hours, Athens International Airport offers an official luggage storage service provided by Care4Bag at the Arrivals Hall, on the ground floor, next to Gate 1. The service is available 24/7, and bags go through security screening before being stored.
Unlike lockers, this service is staffed. One important thing to keep in mind is that availability can become limited during the busy summer season, particularly during peak hours.
Prices start at 6€ for a small bag.
Tip: If you’re not planning on returning to the airport, use LUGGit instead to collect your luggage at the airport and deliver it later to your hotel, Piraeus port, or anywhere else in Athens.
Luggage Storage in Local Businesses Near Athens Airport
If you are looking for luggage storage in Athens on a strict budget, apps like Bounce, Stasher, or Radical Storage connect you with local shops, cafés, and hotels that have extra space.
There are very few of these luggage spots near the airport itself, and most are located in the city center or near major metro stations like Syntagma or Monastiraki. Reaching them from Athens Airport can take anywhere from 35 to 50 minutes using the metro or taxi.
Prices usually start around 4€ to 6€/day per bag, making them one of the cheapest luggage storage options available.
Keep in mind before booking
- Each business has different operating hours, so check the schedule to make sure they are open when you need to collect your bags.
- Not all locations are equally secure. Some may keep bags in a shared hallway or behind a counter, so always read the recent reviews.

How to find Care4Bag: After collecting your bags from the carousel, take the elevator or escalator down to Floor 0 (Ground Level). Head towards Exit/Door 1. The storage facility is on your left - look for the yellow and blue signage.
Peak season warning: During July-September, Care4Bag can have long queues, especially between 8am-12pm when morning flights arrive. Allow at least 15-20 minutes for drop-off during peak periods.
What you can store: Suitcases, backpacks, bags, boxes, sporting equipment, and strollers. Not accepted: food, perishable items, flammable substances, or items exceeding 30kg.

City center alternatives: If you're heading into Athens, consider storing bags in the city instead of at the airport. Monastiraki and Syntagma have several storage options (Lockers 4all, Leave Your Luggage, Stow Your Bags), or book LUGGit to pick up from anywhere.
