Transportation fom the AirportNOTE: You can find Airport

X95 Syntagma Square- Airport Express has its departure point at the center of Athens (Syntagma Square across the park from the Grande Bretagne) and via Vas. Sofias Avenue, Mesogion Avenue and Attiki Odos terminates at the airport. Every 10-30 minutes, 24 hours a day X96 Pireaus- Airport Express starts from the center of Pireaus (Karaiskaki Square) and via Posidonos Avenue, Varis-Varkizas, and Varis-Koropiou Roads terminates at the airport. Both the Syntagma and the Pireaus buses run for 24 hours, generally every twenty minutes but every 40 minutes after midnight. X93 connects the Airport (door 5) with the bus terminals at Kiffissou and Lliosson streets. The interval is generally 35 minutes (65 at night). X92 goes to Kifissia or it did until they canceled it since nobody was using it. For Express Lines the ticket costs 3.20 Euros and is valid for 24 hours on all public transport (buses, trolley-buses and metro). You can buy tickets from the driver or at the metro stations or at Public Transport Ticket Offices. You can keep riding on public transport for free for 90 minutes from the time you first stamped the ticket. If you use it again within that period of time you need to stamp it again.
Ferry Ports of Rafina
and Lavrion Arriving buses disembark passengers at the designated area of the departure level of the Main Terminal Building. The Metro also connects to the airport from Monastiraki and Syntagma Stations. Ferries to the Greek IslandsThe Ferry boats to most of the islands leave from Pireaus as do the Catamarans and Flying Dolphins. There
are also ferries from Rafina and Lavrion. For ferry schedules see www.athensguide.com/greek-island-ferry-schedules The bus numbers 40 (from Omonia Square) and 49 (from Fileninon near Syntagma Square) go between central Athens and Pireaus 24 hours a day. They run every 20 minutes from 6am to midnight and then every hour. To get from the metro station in Pireaus to Zea take bus # 905, Trolly # 20 or Green buses # 844, 843 or 874 *The Flying Dolphins no longer leave from Zea. They now leave from the main port in Pireaus so unless you have a yacht there is really no reason to go there and if you have a yacht you are probably taking a taxi or limo. To see the bus schedules for Rafina, Lavrion and Oropos where there are also ferries departing see Local Buses (Yellow). The Peloponessos Train supposedly starts and finishes at Pireaus so you could actually go from the ferries in Patras right to the ferries in Pireaus, however the tracks were undergoing construction and as of this writing the train does not get as far as Pireaus. See also Pireaus You can take the new Metro to the Larissa train station for Northern Greece or the Peloponessos right next door. You can take trolley #1 from Panapistimiou street to Larissa or the #57 bus to Peloponessos also from Panapistimiou. But once again check to see if the trains are indeed running from Larissa and Peloponessos stations. Because of the crisis the Greek trains are a mess. The National Rail system looses so much money that it would actually cost them less if they gave everyone who rides the trains, taxi fare to go where they are going instead. To get from Pireaus to the Bus Station a) take #420 which startes at Ag Dionysios Square which is across from the Crete ferries.It makes a stop in front of
the train station in Piraeus, and then, Kifissos bus station is the 25th (+ or -1)
stop. See Also: Practical Athens Info, Coastal Tram, Athens Metro, Bus Schedules, Airport Info, Ferry Schedules, Types of Buses, George the Famous Taxi Driver
