The €30 five-day ticket covering the Acropolis plus Hadrian's Library, the Ancient Agora, the Roman Agora, Kerameikos, the Olympieion and Aristotle's Lyceum was abolished on 1 April 2025 and no state replacement exists for Athens. Sites are now priced individually in five bands by visitor numbers — €20, €15, €10 or €5 — with the Acropolis at €30, Ancient Agora and Olympieion €20, Roman Agora, Hadrian's Library and Kerameikos €10, and the Lyceum €5. Seasonal summer and winter pricing was scrapped in the same reform. Combined tickets survive only at Olympia, Delphi, Mycenae and Aigai; anything sold as an 'Athens combo pass' is now a commercial reseller bundle, not a state ticket.

ATH sits about 20 km east of central Athens, 30 km by road, with a main terminal (Hall A non-Schengen, Hall B Schengen and domestic) and a satellite terminal reached by an underground link. Metro Line 3 runs directly into the airport but only every 36 minutes, first train 06:10 and last 23:34 from the airport, roughly 40 minutes to Syntagma or Monastiraki. The airport fare is €9 one way, €16 return valid 30 days, €4.50 reduced; a standard €1.20 ticket will not open the gates at the airport station.

Line 1 (green) runs Piraeus to Kifissia and is the one to take for the port and Monastiraki; Line 2 (red) and Line 3 (blue) cross at Syntagma and Omonia, with Line 3 continuing to the airport on a separate fare. Lines 2 and 3 run until about 02:00 on Fridays and all night on Saturdays, as part of a 24-hour Saturday operation covering metro lines 2 and 3, trams T6 and T7 and eleven extra bus routes. Line 4 is under construction beneath Akadimias, Alexandras, Kolonaki, Exarcheia and Zografou with an opening target around 2032, so expect long-running street works on those corridors.

On extreme-heat days the Culture Ministry closes the Acropolis and other open archaeological sites during the hottest hours, typically 12:00 to 17:00, and outdoor work is restricted; this happened repeatedly through 2024 and 2025, with July 2025 seeing 43°C and four consecutive days of midday closure. There is no published temperature threshold — the decision is made day by day and announced that morning, so a timed ticket for an afternoon slot can be voided at short notice. Plan the Acropolis, Ancient Agora, Kerameikos and Sounion for the first slot after opening or the last two hours before closing.

Athens tap water comes from the Mornos, Evinos and Marathon reservoirs and is treated by EYDAP through coagulation, sedimentation, sand filtration and chlorination, meeting EU drinking water standards; it is safe to drink straight from the tap across the city. This does not generalise to the islands, where many supplies are desalinated or drawn from limited groundwater and bottled water is the norm — Santorini is a standard example. On a day trip from Athens, fill up before you leave.

Greek law requires ride-hailing vehicles to be licensed taxis, so UberX has been unavailable since 2018: booking an Uber or FreeNow in Athens summons a standard yellow taxi charging the regulated meter rate, plus the app's booking fee. Airport journeys to the central Athens ring are on a fixed tariff of €40 between 05:00 and midnight and €55 from midnight to 05:00, including tolls and luggage. Taximeters are sealed and the driver cannot legally charge above the meter; the rank is at Exit 3 on the Arrivals level, staffed around the clock.

Two lines: T6 from Pikrodafni to Syntagma via Neos Kosmos and Fix, about 35 minutes end to end, and T7 from Asklipiio Voulas along the coast to Akti Posidonos in Piraeus, about 59 minutes over 31 stops. T7 is the useful one for the Riviera beaches at Palaio Faliro, Glyfada, Voula and the SEF stop for Karaiskakis Stadium. Both lines run roughly 05:30 to 00:30 and operate 24 hours on Saturdays at 25-minute intervals overnight.

Fares are €1.20 for 90 minutes with unlimited transfers, €4.10 for 24 hours, €8.20 for 5 days and €20 for a 3-day tourist ticket that includes one airport round trip; airport fares are separate. You can load these onto a paper Ath.ena Ticket or a plastic Ath.ena Card (the personalised version, which needs ID, is the only one that gives half-price and monthly fares). Since 15 January 2025 you can also just tap a contactless bank card or phone at the validator, with a daily cap of €4.10 however many journeys you make.

112 is the single European emergency number, free from any phone including one with no SIM, and reaches police, fire, ambulance and coastguard; operators handle Greek, English and French. Greece also uses it to push SMS alerts about wildfires and severe weather to every phone in an affected area. Direct lines are 166 for EKAB ambulance, 100 police, 199 fire, 108 coastguard and 1571 for the tourist police helpline.

State-owned archaeological sites, monuments and museums admit everyone free on 6 March (in memory of Melina Mercouri), 18 April (International Monuments Day), 18 May (International Museums Day), the last weekend of September (European Heritage Days) and 28 October, plus the first and third Sunday of each month from 1 November to 31 March. These apply to state sites only — the Acropolis Museum, which is a separate legal entity, and privately run venues set their own policy. Free days at the Acropolis are busy, and the daily visitor cap still applies.

Long-distance buses leave from two separate terminals and the destination decides which. Kifissos (Leoforos Kifisou 100, Peristeri) is the busier of the two, handling around 12 million passengers a year for the Peloponnese, Epirus, Macedonia and the Ionian islands; Liosion (Terminal B) covers central Greece including Delphi, roughly three hours and about €15 one way on KTEL Fokidas. Both are due to be replaced by a single terminal at Eleonas next to the metro station, a project repeatedly delayed — treat any claim that it has opened as unverified until you see it.

The meltemi is a dry northerly that blows across the Aegean mainly from mid-July through August, commonly at Beaufort 5–7 and sometimes 8. Small high-speed catamarans stop first, often around Beaufort 7, while large conventional ferries usually keep running to 7 and are cancelled from 8 upwards; the port authority and the operator decide route by route. In August 2026 gusts above 100 km/h produced a general sailing ban from Rafina and Lavrio with cancellations out of Piraeus, so never book an island hop for the same day as an outbound flight.

Ordinary Athens pharmacies keep split hours — commonly around 08:00–14:00 and 17:00–20:00 — and close on Sundays, so outside those windows you need an εφημερεύον, a duty pharmacy. Duty rotates daily by district and covers evenings, nights and holidays; lists are posted on every pharmacy door and published on vrisko.gr and xo.gr. Pharmacists in Greece can dispense a wide range of medicines and give basic advice without a doctor's appointment.
Pratik bilgiler · Piraeus
Piraeus has twelve numbered gates (E1–E12) spread over a perimeter that takes about an hour to walk end to end, so the gate matters more than the port. Broadly: E8 for conventional Saronic boats (Aegina, Poros, Hydra, Spetses), E9 for the Aero Highspeed Saronic services, E1 for the Dodecanese, E2 and E3 for Crete and the north Aegean, E6/E7 and E9/E10 for the Cyclades — but gates change with traffic, so confirm on the day. A free shuttle bus circles the port from near gate E5, and Piraeus metro station (Lines 1 and 3) is at the main entrance.

Operated by Hellenic Train and sharing the airport branch with Metro Line 3, the Proastiakos also runs west and south to Corinth and Kiato, making it the practical way to reach Ancient Corinth by public transport. Within the Athens city zone the standard €1.20 ninety-minute ticket is valid with transfers to metro, bus and tram; the airport segment costs the same €9 as the metro, and stations beyond the city zone are charged separately. Services run roughly 04:30 to 23:00.
Pratik bilgiler · Rafina, East Attica
Athens' second ferry port, on the east coast and much closer to the airport than Piraeus. It is the better departure point for Andros, Tinos and Mykonos, with SeaJets, Golden Star and Fast Ferries running eleven or more sailings a day at peak summer. A KTEL Attikis bus links the airport to Rafina in about 30 minutes for around €4, leaving from outside Exit 5 at Arrivals; a taxi is roughly 20 minutes.

Almost all shops close on Sundays; Greek law permits Sunday trading only in designated tourist zones and on a handful of specified Sundays during the January and summer sales and before Christmas. Weekday retail follows split hours, typically 09:00–15:00 on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday and 09:00–14:00 plus 17:30–21:00 on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. 15 August, the Assumption, is a full public holiday when supermarkets and large stores close, and many small independent businesses shut for a fortnight around it.

Tipping is welcomed but not expected at North American levels. Many restaurants already add a service charge of roughly 5–13%, in which case nothing further is needed; where none is added, 5–15% is the usual range and rounding up is entirely normal. Taxis are rounded to the nearest euro, with €1–2 if the driver handles luggage. Cash tips are safer than card tips, which do not always reach staff.
Pratik bilgiler · Attica
Civil Protection publishes a daily fire-risk map for Greece. At category 4 (very high) national parks and forest trails close and forest access is banned; at category 5 forests are sealed, municipalities go on evacuation standby and organised excursions are cancelled. Attica hit these levels repeatedly through summer 2026 — on 12 August 2026 even Lycabettus Hill was closed to visitors and vehicles from midnight. Check the daily map before planning Parnitha, Hymettus or Sounio, and expect 112 alerts by SMS if a fire starts nearby.

One of four 24-hour airport express lines: X95 to Syntagma, X96 to Piraeus port, X93 to the Kifissos and Liosion intercity bus stations, X97 to Elliniko metro station (night departures from Dafni). The fare is €5.50 full, €2.70 reduced, and contactless bank cards or phones work at the on-board validator. OASA estimates X95 at about 60 minutes, though daytime traffic on Vasilissis Sofias regularly pushes it to 90; it is the only option when the metro is not running.
