Help! Cheapest flights to Athens Greece?

Hi everyone. Me and my partner want to travel to Athens in August anytime between the 1st-15th and returning early September. I can fly from all London airports, Manchester, Newcastle, Inverness or Teesside airports. Anyone know of any cheap flights for that season?

    HI:
    I've always found Easyjet to be the cheapest.
    And this website is the best I've ever found for Greece.
    I hope it's of some use.

    We have usually found Easyjet to have a few really cheap flights, but on the dates we want they have always worked out slightly more expensive than BA by the time all the extras get added. BA do however use T5!

    Aegean now fly from Stansted, and we found these to be cheaper than BA, but the flight times did not suit us (would have involved hanging around for the best part of a day in Athens for a boat) - see http://www.aegeanair.com/

    Another that does the route is Olympic, but have never found them to be anywhere near as cheap as BA. There are a few charters that use Athens (but again never found a cheap one)
