Pharmacy

Next to gate G6, this T1 pharmacy covers last‑minute gaps

This Pharmacy sits airside in Terminal T1 by gate G6, handy if you realize you forgot basics after security. It runs daily from 08:00 to 24:00, so both morning departures and late-night flights usually catch it open. Expect standard Greek high-street pharmacy stock rather than a tiny kiosk: over-the-counter painkillers, motion-sickness pills, basic first aid, plus travel-sized toiletries for cabin bags.

Because it’s past security in T1 near G6, this spot mainly serves Schengen and holiday traffic using that end of the terminal. Prices track typical Greek pharmacy levels, not souvenir-shop markups, so sunscreen, after-sun, and antihistamines tend to be cheaper than in duty free. Staff generally handle common requests in basic English, which helps if you’re trying to match a specific medication or explain allergies.

You won’t find a full supermarket shelf here, but there are usually essentials like contact lens solution, lip balm, plasters, and simple cold remedies, all in carry-on friendly sizes. If you need prescription medication, bring the original box or a photo of it; Greek-brand equivalents often sit behind the counter even if you don’t spot them on display. Don’t leave it to 23:55, as they start winding down close to the posted 24:00 closing time.

Practical tip: if your gate is far from G6 in T1, swing by the Pharmacy right after security rather than waiting until boarding is called; walking there and back can easily eat 10–15 minutes.
