Travel by plane
For those traveling on a Schengen visa from outside of Europe, remember to keep a digital or physical copy (in case there is no internet access) of your return ticket & proof of accommodation for the entire duration of your stay in the Schengen area. There seems to be extra scrutiny these days upon arrival at immigration.
Athens International Airport
Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos (Διεθνής Αερολιμένας Αθηνών «Ελευθέριος Βενιζέλος», Diethnís Aeroliménas Athinón "Elefthérios Venizélos"), commonly initialised as AIA, is the largest international airport in Greece, serving the city of Athens and region of Attica.
The main terminal building handles all intra-Schengen flights, as well as several non-Schengen flights. All of the airport's 144 check-in desks are located in the Main Terminal and it has three separate levels, one for arrivals, one for departures and a food court level complete with a view of the eastern runway.
Ground transport
Railway and Metro
A metro station is immediately adjacent to the airport terminal, accessible by an elevated walkway. Athens Metro line 3 and the suburban railway service Proastiakos run trains to and from this station.
There is no direct international railway connection with Athens.
Taxi
Taxis are available at the designated Taxi waiting area by exit 3 of the arrivals level. You can arrange a fixed price for the ride and it is recommended that you do so. The price is approximately 40€ for day service (05:00-24:00) and 55€ for night service (24:00-05:00). VAT and tolls are included. The duration of the trip is about 30 minutes.
Uber Taxis are available online, but not UberX. The most popular alternative, especially among the locals, is FREE NOW (also local taxis).
Bus
Four bus lines (X93, X95, X96, X97) connect directly to the Athens greater area.
Reizen per trein
De Athens Suburban Railway (Proastiakos) ook omgeroepen op het metrostation, ligt direct naast de terminal van het vliegveld.
According to the current timetable, there are:
- Two trains per hour to Doukissis Plakentias, where you can change for Line 3 of the Metro;
- Two trains per hour Neratziotissa, where you can change for Line 1 of the Metro;
- One train per hour to the Athens railway station, where you can change for Line 2 of the Metro at Larissa Station;
- One train per hour to the Piraeus railway station, where you can change for Lines 1 and 3 of the Metro, as well as the ferries.
Er zijn nu geen internationale treinverbindingen, maar u kunt de veerdienst tussen Italië en Griekenland (Venetië, Ancona of Bari gebruiken naar Patras of Igoumenitsa).. Consider the Interrail Greek Islands Pass (6 days within 1 month), which includes ferry services. (The Patras–Kiato–Athens train connection takes ca. three hours.)
