The magnificent Acropolis, sitting at the top of a 156-meter hill, was once a residence of the Hellenic kings. It has preserved the ruins of the legendary Parthenon, the Temple of Athena Pollas, the Ancient Agora, the Roman Forum, Hymettus, etc. What are the ways to get to the gem of the Greek history out of the main airport of the country, Eleftherios Venizelos?
Athens Acropolis sits in the very heart of the capital, to the north-west of Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport. The distance between the points is 34.7 kilometers. You can overcome it using the light vehicle or the Athens Airport to Acropolis taxi within just 37 minutes.
On the way, you can see a lot of exciting places in Greater Athens, among which are Spata, Koropion, and Pallini. Spata is famous for its unique private museum “Nasioutzik Museum,” housing rich expositions of antique, Byzantine, and Asia Minor cultures. The city also attracts visitors with its Attica Zoological Zoo, regarded as the best one in its kind within entire Europe.
Koropion or Koropi enchants visitors with temples, representing classic Byzantine architecture, and lush nature of the Hymettus hill. Pallini is the suburb of Athens, boasting a long and tragic history. In 546 BC, this place was the witness of the battle of Pallinidi, which ended with the defeat of the Athenians, trying to stand up the troops of Pisistratus.
Every day, the bus X95 departs from the station of Eleftherios Airport and delivers passengers to the heart of Athens. It leaves every 30−40 minutes. The fare from the airport to the city center is €2. The trip lasts about an hour, which is longer when compared to trips via a private vehicle or a taxi from Athens Airport to Acropolis.

A single metro ticket costs €10. The groups of two and more people can buy group tickets at a discounted price.
