Prices and availability can change quickly. Sample fares found around €405–€420 return. Booking shown through Mytrip GR via Aviasales. Route: Athens to Seoul via Addis Ababa with Ethiopian Airlines.

Much better availability and an excellent checked-bag fare to Seoul
This deal is now significantly stronger. Athens to Seoul from around €405 return is already a very attractive price, but the real value is that the fare includes 1×23 kg checked baggage.
Availability has also improved a lot, with many more date combinations across different months. That makes this much easier to book compared with the original version of the deal.
The main compromise is the routing via Addis Ababa. Journey times are longer than some European or Middle East routings, but the short connection, low price and included baggage make the overall value very strong.
The deal now has a much better combination of low price, wide availability and checked baggage included. For a long-haul Seoul trip, this is exactly the kind of detail that turns a cheap fare into a genuinely strong deal.
The Addis Ababa connection is short, so confirm the exact layover time, baggage allowance, airport details, provider conditions and final ticketing before booking any non-refundable hotels or extras.
Best for: travellers who want the lowest possible fare to Seoul while still having a proper checked bag included.
Less ideal for: travellers who prefer the shortest possible route or want to avoid a longer one-stop itinerary via Addis Ababa.

Where to stay in Seoul
Seoul has a wide choice of well-rated 4 and 5-star hotels, with many strong options found from around €110 per night. This makes it possible to start the trip with a comfortable city stay without pushing the total cost too high.
For this itinerary, we recommend spending around 3 to 4 nights in Seoul first. This gives you enough time to enjoy the city, recover from the long-haul journey, explore the main neighbourhoods and then continue elsewhere in South Korea.
For the sample dates 02/09 – 06/09, our pick would be the 4-star ibis Ambassador Seoul, rated 8.7, with a nightly rate of around €116. When travelling as a couple, that works out at only about €58 per person per night, making it a very good base for the first few days in Seoul.
