What this route typically costs
Critical points
The SSFS import permit must be secured before booking flights. Do not assume it will be issued quickly.
The EU export health certificate must be specifically adapted for Armenia, not a generic EU internal movement document.
Confirm live animal acceptance on both the Athens-Istanbul and Istanbul-Yerevan legs before finalising the booking.
No titre test is currently required, which makes this one of the more straightforward non-EU routes in this series, provided the SSFS permit timeline is respected.
Approved carriers on this route
| Airline | Notes | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Turkish Airlines | Athens (ATH) to Istanbul (IST), then IST to Yerevan (EVN). Turkish Airlines dominates this corridor and the Athens-Istanbul leg itself is a short regional hop. | Cargo Only |
| Aegean Airlines | Aegean connects ATH to IST, feeding into Turkish Airlines' onward EVN service. A useful option if Aegean's own scheduling suits your travel dates better. | Cabin and Cargo |

Getting the details right
Microchip before you vaccinate. The microchip must be in place before the rabies shot for the vaccination to count, and getting this order wrong is the most common and costly mistake.
Use an official, government-authorised vet for the health certificate, not just your usual clinic. Many destinations only accept certificates signed by an approved vet.
If this is your first international move, consider an IPATA-registered pet transport agent. They handle the documents, airline booking and crate sizing, and can troubleshoot problems.
Get your pet used to the travel crate weeks in advance. A calm, crate-familiar animal travels far better than one meeting the crate for the first time at the airport.
