The best way to get around Athens is on foot. Most of the top attractions, restaurants and shops are within walking distance of each other, and it's an excellent way to keep your costs down.
But if your legs get tired or you need to get somewhere faster, the city has a range of public transport options:
The best time to visit Athens is during its two shoulder seasons. From March to May and September to November, temperatures are mild, and there's little chance of rain. The crowds are also thinner at top attractions like the Acropolis and hotel deals are easier to come by.
June to August is peak tourist season in Athens. Many of the smaller shopkeepers and restaurateurs close for the summer, and you may have a harder time finding a place to eat. But if you don't mind the heat and the crowds, you'll be in time for many of Greece's biggest festivals.
If you're travelling to Athens on a budget, plan your trip between December and February. The cold and wet weather keeps most tourists away, and many hotels and tour operators slash their prices during this seasonal lull.
Athens International Airport is the main gateway to the Attica region. It's the busiest airport in Greece and is a hub for Aegean Airlines and a focus city for Ryanair and Astra Airlines.
Take Metro Line 3 from the airport. It runs seven days a week from 6:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. and connects passengers to the Syntagma station in the city centre.
If you're flying into Athens on a red-eye flight, take the 24-hour express bus. Tickets are sold at info desk outside of the Arrivals Hall between Exits 4 and 5 or onboard from the driver.
The suburban railway runs from the airport to the Plakentias station. The service departs every 15-25 minutes, and you can change trains on the same ticket to continue to the city centre.
The taxi stands are located at Exit 3 on the Arrivals Level. A trip into Athens should cost around AUD 35 from 5:00 a.m. to midnight and EUR 50 from midnight to 5:00 a.m.
If you prefer having your own set of wheels, you can hire a car from one of the rental desks at the airport.
