PLEASE NOTE: BOATS DEPART ON TIME!!
BY TAXI FROM THE AIRPORT TO PIRAEUS
Taxis generally take about an hour to reach Piraeus, dependent on the time of day. The cost in 2007 averages in the region of 40 € which should include charges for dropping passengers at the port as well as for luggage handling. These are set charges, as is the 1.50 € on the metre when you start your journey. All charges are listed on an official form in clear sight, usually on the dashboard at the front of the taxi.
It is acceptable in Greece for taxis to be shared and if you do not wish to, you should indicate this to the driver either at the start of the journey or if it looks as the taxi will stop and offer trips to additional passengers.
BY BUS FROM THE AIRPORT TO PIRAEUS
The bus (X 96) is an express route to and from the airport to Piraeus and has the advantage of having its terminal stop right near Gate 8 from which all the boats to Agistri depart. The journey takes approximately one hour and a half. Departures 24 hours per day and are about ten to twenty minutes apart throughout the day, according to time of day.
The fare for 2007 is 3.20 € per person, although there are family tickets with good discounts.
BY TRAIN FROM
The brand new metro line (blue line) running from the airport through to the centre of Athens is a fine example of how Greece has worked hard to improve its transport system. If you are carrying lightweight and/or wheeled luggage and have time before you depart for Agistri, you may consider taking the metro into Monastiraki, take a break with a coffee, overlooked by the world famous Acropolis.
Change from the metro line at Monastiraki to the suburban line to Piraeus (green line) and come out at the port for an easy five minute walk to Gate 8. Fares vary widely between group tickets, single, returns and student fares.
