Glyfada attractions – Parthenon, Erechtheion, and Lykavitos – enchant travelers with both their names and beauty. What are the best ways to get to the famous suburban area of Athens from Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos?
You will have to cope with a 26.3-kilometer distance to get from Athens International Airport to Glyfada. the trip using a car will take you just 32 minutes.
On the way, you can see a lot of exciting places in Greater Athens: Kitsi, Vári, Vouliagmeni, and Voula. They provide the possibility to experience the authenticity of the Greek capital – its exciting combination of Hellenic antiquity and modern European megapolis.
The city of Athens provides rather good budget-friendly facilities for transportation from the airport. You can choose one of the two around-the-clock buses – X96 and X97. They leave every 30 minutes from the bus station of Eleftherios. The trip to Glyfada will cost you just €2.
The bus X96 will deliver you to the stop Antonopolou (Antōnopoulou) in about one hour. Take a 3-minute walk and you will find the nearest districts of Glyfada. The bus X97 will give you a ride till the stop Antheon (Antheōn) that is 500 meters from Glyfada.
It is rather difficult to travel with baggage using the means of municipal transport as it does not provide luggage spaces. If the cabin is overcrowded (which is quite typical to transport leaving from the airport) and you do not speak the Greek language, thus the risk to miss the required stop significantly increases. Furthermore, the buses are always late, and might not come at all if people decide to go on a strike.
The trip using the metro will cost you about €10 per person. If you go on holiday as a family or a big group of people, you can buy a group ticket and save some money.
You can find the airport station on the Blue line of Athens Metro. The nearest station to Glyfada is Elliniko (Ελληνικό). It sits in the Red line. Thus, you will need to change the lines at the central station – Syntagma Square (Σύνταγμα). At Elliniko metro station, you can catch the bus №122 or №А3 that will give you a lift in the required direction. The fare is €1.
If you cannot stand the overcrowded environment full of temperamental people, making changes, and other fuss, then you should better give your preference to hiring a taxi. How much does it cost to take a taxi from Athens Airport to Glyfada? The price for the vehicle of Economy Class, less frequently of Standard Class, starts at €60 in the daytime. If you decide to hire a taxi at night, on public holidays or weekends, the trip to Glyfada will be more expensive. During the high tourist season, the taxi service providers in Greece raise their tariffs.
Do you still think that the offers of Greek taxi drivers are as budget-friendly as they seem at first glance? Then ask the driver about additional charges, taken for boarding and help with suitcases. The hidden charges often significantly increase the final price of a trip.
