The Athens International Airport is located approximately 30-35 kilometers or 18 - 21 miles from the city center. If you’ve just landed, checked out your luggage, and are looking for a means of transport there, you’re in luck! There are in fact two ways to get to the city center without paying a pretty penny to a taxi.
Line 3 / the blue line of the metro, with direction to Dimotiko Theatro, connects the airport with Syntagma, the largest metro station in the city. From there, you will easily be able to reach any spot in the city center. You will find the metro station as you exit the main terminal, right behind the Sofitel Athens Airport Hotel.
The Express Bus Line X95 runs 24/7. You will find the Departures Building right outside the main terminal, and you can get off at Syntagma.

Fantastic setting. We had such a fun evening with Katerina who shared great stories as we cooked delicious food. They served us dinner outdoors overlooking the Acropolis, so the setting was even better than we were expecting.

I crossed my fingers that this would be a good tour, but I wasn’t 100% sure what to expect. Well I’m happy to say it exceeded my expectations and was a WONDERFUL way to spend a morning getting to know Athens.

We enjoyed an excellent "highlights tour" through Athens Walking Tours in 2014. Based on that, we booked AGT40B (Acropolis & Parthenon... Extended Edition") for our return in 2024. The early start was worth the effort because we beat the crowds and heat. Niobe, our guide, was excellent. She was informative and easy to understand and walked at a manageable pace for the group of 15 to 20 people. She even knew a shady spot where we could get off our feet. It was particularly special to peer into the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, where we attended an outstanding concert the

Our guide was amazing, made a conscious effort to keep us cool. Stopping in the shade to talk and kept us engaged with relevant history/facts often relating it to where we were from.

Niobe was fantastic, so knowledgeable and took wonderful care of us. It was warm but we always stopped in the shade. So much information on the history of Greece & the Acropolis. We had a wonderful walk. Recommend booking early morning if possible.

Very well organized tour. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly Guide. Seeing the temperatures and the crowds really the best way and time to visit the Acropolis.

Angel was a wonderful and entertaining guide! He provided great descriptions and cultural contexts for each delicious dish we enjoyed. Angel also provided excellent and informative histories of the various sites and places we passed on our tour. My wife and I raved about our experience with our family. I highly recommend this tour, and Angel as a guide.

Easy skip the line - early entry allowed for good photos without the crowd. Tour was quick (1.5 hours) and left most of the rest of the day to explore on our own.

Rina was amazing for our first ever walking tour. Incredibly knowledgeable and very easy to listen to. We learnt and enjoyed it so much. Great experience - our 11 and 9 year old got so much out of it. Thanks Rina!

The Acropolis and museum tour was great. Alice provided good historical context and explanations without overwhelming with too many facts. We were so glad we did the tour vs. going on our own and learned a few things along the way. Definitely recommend.
