Plaka is one of the oldest and most beautiful residential areas in the capital of Greece, which is situated near the world-famous Athens Acropolis. If you like visiting the museums and old temples, you should necessarily include this place into a travel route. What is the best way to get to Plaka from Athens Airport Eleftherios Venizelos sitting in Spata?
Plaka sits 34.7 kilometers north-west of Eleftherios Airport. You can overcome the route within 39 minutes by car, using the shortest and most convenient road, running through Palini and Koropion.
Greater Athens is worth even a short visit. Palini, whose name derives from the name of the king Pallant, reminds a traveler of heroic acts of the antique characters. According to the legend, Pallini houses the grave of Eurystheus, Herakles served to.
Koropion, also known as Koropi, pleases the eye of its visitors with the picturesque scenes of the Hymettus hill-sides and Mesogea plain. This destination attracts the fans of a quiet family holiday in Greece.
You can use the bus X95 to access Plaka from the airport. It operates around the clock and leaves every 40 minutes. The fare to Athens city center costs €2. A trip takes about an hour.
Public transport in Greece is comfortable but it does not provide any luggage spaces. It will be great if you have good navigation skills and learn conversational Greek, in order not to miss the required stop.
If you choose Athens Metro for transportation to Plaka, you should drive from the airport station to the Syntagma Square station, using the Blue metro line. The Syntagma Square station is the transit point in your route. At this station, you will need to make a change for the Green metro line of the Monastiraki metro. Catch the subway train and enjoy the ride right to the center of Plaka.
The cost of an individual metro ticket is €10. The groups of travelers can save on transportation. The metro ticket for two people will cost €18, for three travelers - €24.

Apart from the basic tariff, the majority of taxi providers in Athens take fees for landing and assistance with baggage. These “invisible” charges might significantly increase the final Athens Airport to Plaka taxi cost.
