CAR & MOTORCYCLE
Attiki Odos (Attiki Rd), Ethniki Odos (National Rd) and various ring roads facilitate get-
ting in and out of Athens.
The airport has all major car-hire companies, and the top end of Leoforos Syngrou,
near the Temple of Olympian Zeus, is dotted with firms. Local companies tend to offer
better deals than the multinationals. Expect to pay €45 per day, less for three or more
days.
