Metro
Metro line 3 goes to the airport. Some trains terminate early at Doukissis Plakentias,
where you get out and wait till an airport train (displayed on the train and platform
screen) comes along. Trains run every 30 minutes, leaving Monastiraki between 5.50am
and midnight, and the airport between 5.30am and 11.30pm.
Airport tickets costs €8 per adult or €14 return (return valid 48 hours). The fare for
two or more passengers is €7 each, so purchase tickets together (same with suburban
rail). Tickets are valid for all forms of public transport for 90 minutes (revalidate your
ticket on final mode of transport).
Suburban Rail
Take the suburban rail (one hour, same price as the metro but return ticket is valid for a
month) from central Athens (Larisis) station then change trains for the airport at Ano Li-
osia, or Nerantziotissa (on metro line 1). The metro also connects at Doukissis Plakentias
(line 3). Trains to the airport run from 6am to midnight; trains from the airport to Athens
run from 5.10am to 11.30pm; trains run every 15 minutes from Nerantziotissa. Suburban
rail also goes from the airport to Piraeus (change trains at Nerantziotissa) and Kiato in
the Peloponnese (via Corinth).
Taxi
Fixed fares are posted. Expect day/night €35/50 to the city centre, and €47/65 to Piraeus.
Both trips should take at least an hour, longer with heavy traffic. Check

for more info.
BICYCLE
Even experienced cyclists might find Athens' roads a challenge, with no cycle lanes and
often reckless drivers. Day rental costs about €12.
