Express Bus Line X95 connects the Airport to Syntagma Square (Athens center). Estimated time is 70 minutes.

Other Express Lines connect the Airport to Kifisia at northern suburbs (X92), Ethniki Amyna in Athens (X94), Piraeus port (X96) and Dafni at southern suburbs (X97). For more details on these you can check at www.oasa.gr. All tickets are at € 3.20 one way.

This line is considerably slower than the Metro Line and doesn’t reach downtown Athens (you have to change to Metro Line at Neratziotissa). Therefore is not advisable for connecting to the city destinations, though it can be very useful for other destinations outside the city. A single trip ticket connecting the Airport with the major station at Neratziotissa is € 6.00. The same ticket can be used to continue with the Metro Line.

Normal fare for Metro Lines (Line 1, 2 & 3) is € 0.80. Bus and trolley bus tickets for going around in Athens are € 0.50 each. The Tram Line (Routes 3, 4 & 5) ticket costs € 0.60 (www.tramsa.gr, no English again, sorry!) and connects mainly the center of Athens with the port (Piraeus) and southern suburbs. There is also a € 2.90 ticket that can be used for all the urban transportation in Athens, for 24 hours. This ticket allows only ONE connection to the Airport. From Piraeus there are a vast number of ships connecting with the Greek islands and other Mediterranean countries (Cyprus, Turkey, Italy etc.).
