The most convenient way is by metro. Metro Line 3 speeds passengers from the airport to the Monastiraki train station. A one-way fare costs €6, while a round-trip fare costs €12 (only €10 for a roundtrip transpiring within a 48 hour period). The journey from the airport to Monastiraki takes about 30 minutes. If you are staying in Plaka, Makrigianni, or Koukaki, this is the better train option.
The suburban train line also stops at Eleftherios Venizelos, carrying on to Larissa Station. This transportation option also costs €8, and takes about a half hour. If you are staying in the Omonia or Viktoria areas, this is the better train option.
Athens Airport Express bus lines, while not as quick as the train lines, are the considerably cheaper mode of transportation. For just €3.20, bus routes E92, E93, E95, E96, and E97 run between the airport and various locations throughout the Athens area. Bus line E92 runs between the airport and Kifisia and bus line E93 runs between the airport and the Kifisos bus station. Bus line E95, the most relevant for most visitors, runs between Syntagma and the airport. Bus line E96 runs between the airport and Piraeus, the port of Athens. Finally, bus line E97 runs between the airport and the Dafni metro station.
Taxis between central Athens and the airport cost between €15 and €25. A taxi journey should take between 35 and 50 minutes.
