For most people, getting around once they land at the airport is the last thing on their mind before taking a flight. But, Athens is a big city, and getting around it can be overwhelming for first-time visitors.

There are buses, trains, metro and suburban railway you can take to move around the city. Also, there are several factors to think about when you are arranging this part of your trip.

You have to take into consideration a number of things, including how much time it will take to transfer to your hotel, long layovers, what time will you arrive in Athens and the cost of an airport transfer.

At the same time what to do if you’re not renting a car and have no plans of using public transportation?

Solving this riddle may be easier than you think. Have you ever heard this phrase: “if you don’t know where to start, start at the beginning”? It is true.

To find the optimal solution for your airport transfer, try to think a little about the situation and make a list of what you are looking for.

Select just 2 or 3 points out of all the features and advantages that will matter most for you.

Think of these characteristics as pros, to compare the level of importance between them.
These can be factors such as price, comfort, number of hours of travel until your destination, or flexibility when answering “what are my options?”.

At all times remember that choosing your mode of transportation is a very important aspect of your journey and could be what makes or breaks your entire experience. Choosing the best mode of transportation will save you a lot of money, time, and headaches.
