✈️ Getting there

ATHAthens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos
📍 33 km⏱ 40 min🚇 Metro🚌 Express Bus🚕 Taxi

Metro Line 3 runs directly to Syntagma Square in about 40 minutes for €10 (€18 return) — the most reliable option; the X95 express bus to Syntagma takes 60–90 minutes for €6 and runs 24 hours.

Eleftherios Venizelos is a modern, efficient single-terminal airport opened for the 2004 Olympics — Aegean Airlines is the dominant carrier, with strong connections from most European cities and a growing Ryanair presence.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Athens — beyond the tourist trail.

🏛️Visit the Acropolis at opening time (8am sharp in summer) — you'll have the Parthenon largely to yourself for the first 45 minutes. The afternoon crowds are brutal; a morning visit is not optional, it's essential.
🥙Eat souvlaki at Kostas on Plateia Agias Irinis in Monastiraki — the pork souvlaki with tomato and paprika sauce is €2.50 and has been made the same way since 1950. It's so popular they sell out and close by early afternoon.
🌊Take the tram from Syntagma to Glyfada beach (45 min, €1.40) — Athens has a proper urban riviera that most visitors ignore. Hire a sun lounger at Asteras beach club or find a free rocky spot and swim in the Saronic Gulf.
🏺Spend two hours in the National Archaeological Museum (Patission 44) on a weekday morning — it's the finest collection of ancient Greek art in the world and remarkably uncrowded outside peak hours. The Antikythera Mechanism is here.
🌇Climb Lycabettus Hill at dusk — the pine-forested peak in the middle of Athens gives a 360° view over the city and sea. Walk up via the Kolonaki steps (20 min) or take the funicular. The hilltop café serves decent wine as the sun goes down.
