This looks good. Stay o'nite in ATH, then back to KBP on 24th. I'll go check.
cheap flight back to KBP next day on Aegean?
Just be careful with the short turnaround in SKG. The general consensus here is that it CAN be done, but it would make me VERY nervous and if you miss it by 2 mins... there goes your Gold status. And you're risking it TWICE!
Can't you leave Kiev the evening before, after work or whatever? The 19:40 Air Ukraine flight to ATH on 22nd is only 56 Euro. You could then do the four domestic hops in a much more relaxed manner and actually see some of the country too.
Or how about something like this:
23/11 KBP 06:40 IST 08:40 (Air Ukraine, returning the next day at 05:55, 09:40 or 15:30 from IST for 224 Euro RT)
then...
IST 09:45 ATH 11:05
ATH 1320 SKG 14:15
SKG 17:20 ATH 18:15
ATH 19:05 IST 20:30
4 A3 legs, all on one ticket, 157 Euro.
You have two shortish connections: there is 1hr05 in IST in the morning and 50 mins in ATH in the evening, but nothing like the short SKG turns others have suggested. They should all be do-able if everything is on time (can Air Ukraine RELIABLY get you to IST on time?). And at least it's one ticket so they will get you home if you miss something (there is a later TK flight back to IST but that's no good for your segments).
