Athens is one of the most walkable large cities in Europe.

Today, the city offers many well-organized, clean, safe transportation options. If you don’t want to walk or drive, you can take the bus, trolley, tram, suburban railway, electric railway, or metro.

If you do not want to have to worry about buying individual tickets each time you use some form of public transportation—let alone worry about figuring out how much you are supposed to pay for each form (€.40, €.50, €.60, or €.80 per ticket—consider buying a pass that gives you access to all forms of public transportation.

A one-day pass costs €3, a weekly pass runs €10, and a monthly pass tops out at €38. Note that a passport-sized photo is required for purchase of a monthly pass.

Also good to know: Children aged six and under ride free on all modes of public transport in Athens.

Once you validate a daily, weekly, or monthly ticket, you won’t need to validate it again. Don’t forget to validate your ticket. If you run into a patrolling inspector without a valid ticket, you will be fined 60 times the cost of the ticket.
