Getting Around
How to get to and from Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at ATH
Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport is connected to Spata-Artemida and the wider Greece transport network by multiple ground transport options.
Metro Line 3 (Blue Line) runs to Syntagma in about 40 minutes for a €10 single ticket, operating roughly 05:30-23:31 with no overnight service.
The X95 express bus is the only 24/7 public transport option, running to Syntagma Square in 60-90 minutes for €5.50.
Official taxis charge a flat fare from Exit 3: €40 during the day (05:00-00:00) or €55 overnight (00:00-05:00), for the 35-45 minute ride.
Rideshare apps operate in Athens but the flat-rate taxi is generally the more predictable option for a straight airport transfer, especially late at night.
Available at the airport; useful for exploring the Greek mainland or islands accessible by ferry from Piraeus, less necessary for an Athens-only stay.
If you land after midnight, the flat-rate €55 taxi or the 24/7 X95 bus are your only real options — the metro shuts down overnight, which catches out a lot of red-eye arrivals.
