Athens Getting Around in Athens
A comprehensive guide to Getting Around in Athens! Find out how to get around on foot, by Bus, by Taxi, by Train, by Limousine or Car Hire Athens Service. Includes a public transportation guide, daily schedules, passenger times and fees, and many helpful hints and tips.
From arrival into Athens International airport, the journey into the city takes around about 30 minutes at peak times, and many package holidays to the city already include a transfer, although buses and taxis are available from the terminal building.
The city itself is crowded and the roads are congested throughout the day, and getting around by anything other than walking can be frustrating, although in the evening, when the crowds subside, taxis are a quick and simple way of moving from place to place.
If you're using Athens as the starting point for a holiday island hopping trip around Greece, then the port of Piraeus just outside the city is the main starting point for many of the trips.
Cheap car hire is available in Athens, and is a great idea if you plan to explore the countryside around the city, although driving in Athens itself is never great fun in the city.
