I just got home from my trip to Greece and the public transport is very efficient. But be careful with your belongings because i literally saw how little kids (around 8 or 10 years old) tried to steal from the backpack of a woman and an old man in different occasions. So always keep an eye on your things. Also, people are very clever there and when you put the ticket in the machine and the door opens, people will follow you. That caught me off guard and I literally saw how 5 people came through the door with my ticket. Athens definetly needs more security! Overrall it's a very good experience, but be awhare of the things that i mentioned.

One of my friends who’s in Greece now shared your channel with me. I’m SO glad he did! I agree with others and wish there was a channel this real and informative for every tourist destination! One idea for a video would be to talk about the Greek holidays and festivals in Athens throughout the year and maybe the pros/cons of each season. Thanks for sharing such valuable info. :) Erikka

Another great and informative video! Thank you, Sebastián!

I’ve just started watching your videos recently- they are so good - I’m at the stage of researching a trip for next year and you really explain things perfectly- Thanks !

Thanks for all of this practical information! I am an American, but have been living in Poland for the past 10 years. Next month I will be meeting 3 of my friends from the US in Athens. We will arrive at the airport there within just a couple of hours of one another. Then we will travel together to our rented apartment or hotel. After a couple of days in Athens we will then leave on a 7 day cruise of the Greek Isles. The information in this video is super helpful and I forwarded it to my travel companions.

Sebastian My husband and I would like to thank you for your fantastic public transport in Athens. We just returned from a 3 day visit and it really helped

Great insights and tips! Thank you for the excellent content and service you are providing !👏👏👏

Thank you for all the useful information, appreciated

Bro you are a treasure, I’m booking a flight in September just because of your videos. Im Turkish btw you really did something there.

Beautiful narration.... I can't express my gratitude for you and ur hard work.... Simplicity is the key in ur videos... It's very very informative and useful while I will travel there... I follow ur channel onwards.... God bless you always.... 😍

As always very very informative!!! 👏👏

Great video. Thank you for the information.

Great content! Thanks!

Excellent explanation. well done and thank you 😎

Thank you so much for your help, this is probably the best youtube channel, we are visiting Athens in August.

Thanks for the explanation it was amazing 👏🙏

You just saved me an expensive taxi ride from the airport! I thought I read the metro stops at 11:30 but 2am on Saturday is great! Thank you!!!

We leave for Athens in exactly a month! Thanks so much for your videos

We are visiting Athens. I would say your videos are the best and very helpful. Keep it up ❤

Very helpful.

Thank You very much!

anxiously awaiting your new video to get to the cruise port! We loved your videos on which hotels/neighborhoods to stay in and we're hoping to stay in Monastiraki near the Agora just before our cruise. Wondering if we should plan to grab a taxi or the metro to get to the cruise port. Also, hoping to be dropped off as close as possible to our ship terminal! Thanks in advance for your tips!!!

Thank you ❤👍

Awaiting your video for the cruiseport transporation. Planning on a cruise in Greece in 2024, your videos are extremelly helpful in my planning.

super helpful!!! i appreciate you mentioning cruise info because some of us are visiting Greece via cruise! sooooo excited!

Love your videos. I am going to Athens in mid Sep. Please do a video where to eat good street food 😊

Thank you, my wife and I and some friends will be in Athens Greece this July 2024. I have already downloaded the app you suggested and even used it to see the charge from our hotel to a dive shop I wish to go to. Its about 8 euros. ;-)

Love your videos mate Are you going to do a video on crete and insects in Greece and the Greek islands as well

For those who want to avoid the 9EUR metro fare from the airport: The increased fare only applies for the leg between airport and the next station, called Koropi. If you board the metro at Koropi, the regular 1.20EUR fare applies. So you might feel tempted to walk the distance from the airport to Koropi. Be warned that is not possible; there is no walkable path, it's all multi-lane roads without any space left for pedestrians, and it's quite a long distance anyway. But there is another option: Take a bus from the airport to Koropi metro station. Be warned it's NOT one of the buses that go into the city centre which most tourists use, those are recognizable by line numbers beginning with an X. It is a regional bus run by KTEL Attiki which goes to Rafina. The bus stop is downstairs from the entrance of the walkway that connects to the metro station, next to the Sofitel. Ask the drivers which one goes to Rafina, and tell them you want to go to Koropi metro stop. The regional bus costs 2EUR extra, but overall you save 6EUR.

My friend you are excellent. The way you deliver info is so detailed. You have basically helped me plan my entire trip. One question - my ferry arrives from Santorini to Piraeus at 11:30 pm at night. Will i get the x96 bus from the port to the airport at midnight? Google maps shows no scheduled buses

First of all THANK YOU for sharing such wonderful and helpful information! I have watched several of your videos! Can you please tell me the best way to Syntagna Square (we plan to walk to attractions from there) from the Piraeus Cruise Terminal? Thank you in advance.

I am so glad I came across your video, I wanted to get instructions from a local. I especially needed information with transportation and mobility. I have reserved a trip to Athens in February. I don't know what the weather will be like, but would the metro still be crowded in the Winter season? Also does the public transport (trams/ metros/ buses) operate on Sundays regularly? thank you

Thank you Sebastian, your videos are so informative. We are coming by cruise ship in October, would it be best to take a taxi from the port to take the metro to see the sites around the acropolis? There are 9 of us traveling and perhaps the shared fare would make taxi travel more affordable and easy.

One more very useful video. Thanks a lot. One question please : how are taxi fares fixed ? Taximeter ?

Very informative video Sebastian. Do seniors from other countries qualify for discounted ticket? Thanks.

Sebastian, you’re a gem thanks … please inform me how to go from Syntagma Square to Kifissos Bus terminal for Nafplio ? Thanks.

Thanks for all useful informations Sebastian. I am looking forward for my trip to Athens. I've got a one more question (could be quite silly one): When I buy 5day ticket, for instance, is it working right since the moment when I buy it or do I have to activate it somehow?

Hi Sebastian - thank you for another amazing video! Quick question - is Milos worth visiting in December?

Thank you for all the information provided by this channel. I seeking information on the bus X80, running from Syntagma Square to Piraeus cruise port, does this bus runs in the month of February and March. Thank you so much.

Hi, I have a question (excellent videos by the way), we are staying in Athens a few days before taking a cruise starting from Piraeus. Would you recommend taxi or subway to get to Piraeus? I realise the cruise port is 20 or so minutes walk from the station but we do travel light. Appreciate your guidance. Keith

Thanks for the info prior to my trip to Athens end of May 2024. Just to confirm you said taxi can go Santorini Euro 20 is that correct? How about returning to hotel is there many taxi in Santorini? Thanks.

Thanks for the video. I am planning to visit Greece between 23rd March and 1st April. Planning for trip to Meteora on 25th March. Considering it's a national holiday will the monasteries and public transport working on that day? Any insights would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Sebastian thanks, it's very helpful😊 But you forgot about car rental!! Is it okay to rent a car to save time??

Forgot to mention some taxi drivers will ask where u going and some say not going that way

What are your thoughts of the express bus X95 from the airport to syntagma square?

Hi 👋 . Thank you so much for posting these really informative videos. We are arriving in Greece shortly and staying in Pallini for 3 nights before heading to Leonidio. We plan on travelling into Athens Centre for two days and returning again at night. I'm trying to find out how much we can expect to pay for the metro ticket either as a day return or two single tickets for this metro journey 🤔

Wonderful video. Subscribed your channel sir. Could you please let me know the weather in Athens in between 5 to 7 November normally? Me and my wife will visit to Athens. Can we need long coat or heavy jackets. Regards

are taxis readily available from cruise ports? do you have a video that talks about cruise ports and taking the trains/taxies to city center and back to the cruise ports? thank you!

Have you created a video on how to get from the Port to Athens yet that I am missing?

T7 is currently half way closed, the t6 frequency is quite low...

Is it the M1 or the M3 line to get to City Center (Acropolis, etc)? Looks like there might be a stop on both for Monastiraki Square or do you suggest we take blue line to Syntagma Square? Deciding whether to do on our own (in port 7-6p) or take Georges Taxi for an excursion? I am sure there are benefits to both but seeking your recommendation :). Thank you

is there any advantage of buying an anonymous Athena plastic card over tickets? I want to buy a bundle of 5 tickets plus a return ticket to the airport to be used over 17 days. I plan to use the 5 single tickets for my ride to the ferry (not on the same day as my airport ride), from the ferry, and possibly to and from the national archeological museum which is a bit far from my hotel. as always, i love your videos. they have been very helpful & reassuring.

Sebastian can you buy multiple 90min tickets that you can validate later on in the day to save you visiting the machines?

how much is 5 day ticket

Hi Sebastian, thank you for this very helpful information. For a first timer like me, is it comfortable to use the metro going to Syntagma with a big luggage or better to ride a taxi via FreeNow/Uber?

Hi!! I am wondering if the three-day pass works by day or by hour? (I mean 72 hours after the first use or 3 days) Thanks!!

Is there a montly Ticket or something similar? I'm going there for about 6 weeks and this would be great!

Thanks for this video! I was interested in getting a 30 day card that includes the airport. Can I buy that from the machine? Or do I need to pick that up somewhere else? Also, would that only include one roundtrip for the airport? I was hoping for 3 trips. Thanks!

For Piraeus station from the cruise port you haven't upload, does it just mean we need to walk around 30 minutes getting off the cruise to the station, and begin our metro journey?

Does the 3-day ticket start when you activate it, and it remains valid for 72 hours from the time of activation? Or it’s only valid until the end of the day you purchased it + 2 additional days?

Would you recommend hop on hop off Bus to get to different sites if we are only in Athens for a day?

Hi Seb, I have a question. For the 3 day tickets, should the airport round trip be covered within these 3 days? Or is it 3 days of Athens city+ an airport round trip for any day?

How long is the ride to the airport from Sytagma station ?

If I buy the 3 day pass including airport, 2 days June 1-3 then June 12-13 is it still valid and for the airport? Thanks for all your videos!

Sebastián Athen Station and Larissa Station are the same? Getting tickets to Meteora from the HELLENICTRAIN -

Im planning to buy the 5 days pass ticket. Can I buy it straight from the airport & use it on the X95 bus ? Thanks

where is the link for public transport from the cruise port ?

Are the Metro station names labeled in English or all in Greek?

If i buy a 5 day public transport ticket from the airport metro station, will it be valid only for 5 days from the moment i buy it or 5 days from first using it?

Which company to you Recommend to book a driver pick up from airport Athens to my hotel

Is uber available & reliable? And is it safe to walk around in the evening?

Do kids have to have buy tickets also?

Hello Sebastian, I arrive in Athen June 1-June 13 2024. If I understood you correctly, I purchase round trip from the airport 16€ I have 30 days to use this ticket?

What is the average cost for a taxi from the airport to Monastiraki?

Which taxi app is good

Are the 3 day or 5 day tickets offer unlimited rides or do they just have a later expiration date?

I am German. Can I use the 5-day card?

How much is the ticket cost for kids below 05 years old?

Please correct me if I’m wrong. One way ticket from the airport to the port it would cost me €9. From the port to Syntagma station € 1.20 and from Syntagma to the airport €9.

Hello my friend! My new wife and I are flying into Athens and taking your advice to stay at Athens21. Can you give me details to take the metro for 2 days and then we will be off to Santorini! Thank you!

Fantastic explanations 👍 efcharisto

Sir, can we buy 3 day ticket online (20Euro each)? Please give us link. Regards

I mistakenly bought 10+1 ticket thinking i will have 11 rides with no time limit. Wanted to confirm is it only for 90mins ??

I came here to see if I'll finally get why no one pays in the bus

I was in Athens three weeks ago for one week. I used taxi around 15 times. Almost all of the Taxi drivers were friendly and honest. I've been scammed two times. Both were Gypsy taxi drivers. One drop me to Monastraki when I wanted go Psirri and double charged me (10 euro). Other one took me from Omnion to Olympion Temple for 25 euros, which I believe 5 times more expensive. Never trust Gypsy taxi drivers and always ask for taximetre. Athens is a beatiful and extremly safe city just be careful about this classic taxi scames.

what is bro saying i live in athens and bro says that you don't know when the bus is going to arrive there are literally in every stop there is a machine that says the time from every bus that stops at that stop and second there is an app that tells you when the bus is starting when its finishing the route and also is says the stops so you can press the stop that you are and it says the time it will arrive and not just that bus every bus that stops in that stop and it also saws to you the location of the bus that you want to get and that app is called OASA telematics

As an athens cityzen dont spend money on tickets for the tram, its a waste of money no one will check them

You must be joking avoid all Greek public transportation only use the Metro avoid the busses everything else is third world conditions

What do you mean its a free beach! Aren't all beaches free? 🥹
