Traveler advice
Getting around
The underground is the fastest way to get around
Metro is the best transportation method in Athens
Athens has an excellent metro connection. If your hotel is located in the vicinity of the city center, the metro is your best friend. Every important landmark, museum and the most famous places for sightseeing in Athens are located next to a metro station. It is the fastest method of transportation and the cheapest. The 90-minute ticket costs 1.40 euros, the 24-hour ticket 4.50 euros and the 3-day tourist ticket 22 euros. You can buy your ticket in the vending machines located in every station.
Getting around
Beware of taxis
Use mobile apps for taxi and other transportation methods
You can very easily hail a taxi in the streets of Athens or get one from the taxi stations (usually located in squares). The yellow cars are literally too many and everywhere! However, you can download in advance the free mobile app “Beat”, which allows you to make some useful choices, like choosing the taxi driver you prefer from the ones available based on his profile (this way you can be sure that he speaks English) and your payment method (cash or card). Beware of taximeters to start from 1€ the beat app will you give you an estima
