How to plan your Athens holiday
Time Zone:
Athens is in the Eastern European Time Zone, 2 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT +2). During summer, Athens observes daylight saving, where the time is moved forward by 1 hour, so it becomes 3 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT +3).
In winter, the time in Athens is pushed back by 1 hour to Eastern European Time. These changes happen on the last Saturday of March and the last Saturday of October.
Which time zone is your next destination?

Currency:
The official currency of Greece is the Euro. Always bring some cash with you, especially if you plan to shop in small souvenir shops and eat in local Tavernas.
You won’t be paying cash all of the time, as there are shops and merchants in Athens that are well-equipped to accept card payments. Visa and Mastercard are more common than American Express. See the actual currency change.
Vaccinations:
Before traveling to Athens, you should ask your family doctor and ensure you receive all appropriate vaccinations. Just make sure you’re up to date with the recommended vaccinations for your home country, and have a look at what you need for travel abroad.

Voltage and Adaptors:
The standard voltage is 220-240 volts. Most of the sockets are European plugs of the two round-pin varieties. I recommend you buy a universal travel adaptor. You will need a voltage converter and plug adaptor to use other appliances.
If you love styling your hair, I found a tremendous dual voltage travel hair tools kit for the EU and America you can easily pack for all your travels.

How to get to Athens.
Athens has only one airport well connected to most major European cities. Many airlines connect Athens with the rest of Europe. Check which one connects you to one of the most amazing places in Greece, and make sure to book your flight in advance to save money you can then spend on delicious Greek food.
Otherwise, if you prefer to travel to the mainland by train or bus, check out Omio to find the best option.
European Travel Alert! If you are from the US and want to travel to Europe, from 2025 you must complete an ETIAS visa waiver form before your trip and pay the €7 ($7.25) fees. This easy-to-complete form should give you instant approval, but it’s recommended that travelers plan and submit their forms a few weeks before their departure date.

How to go from the Airport to Athens
It is always wise to check how to get from the airport to your accommodation. There are always many ways you can choose. There are buses to the city center and train lines, or you can book a private taxi in advance that will take you to your accommodation.
How to go from the Airport to Athens by bus:
It is undoubtedly the cheapest option but can also be the longest. A one-way ticket costs only 6 euros, and the bus X95 will take you to Syntagma Square (the train and bus terminal where you can catch other buses or trains to reach your accommodation) in 60 minutes.
You can purchase your ticket at the airport ticket office or on the bus. The bus stop is at the Arrivals Level between Exits 4 and 5.
How to go from the Airport to Athens by metro:
Athens airport subway is probably one of the cheapest and fastest ways to reach the city center. The metro station is only a 10-minute walk from the terminal at the departure level.
It is very straightforward to get there; follow the direction sign “Train,” and you cannot get lost (all characters are also in English). At the station ticket office, you can purchase a one-way ticket to Athens on line M3 for 10 euros or a return ticket for 18 euros.
Line M3 will get you to Syntagma Square (the main square of Athens) in only 40 minutes, where you can catch other buses or trains to reach your accommodation.
This metro train departs every 30 minutes from 6.30 am to 11.30 pm. Just check out the Metro map below, find the Metro Station near your accommodation, and note where you have to change lines (if you have to change lines) to reach your accommodation.

How to go from the Airport to Athens by private transfer:
The most comfortable way to get from A to B is an individual Kiwitaxi transfer. Firstly, it is possible to choose a car of any class or capacity and book a child seat or booster for your child.
Secondly, the price for a trip will be known in advance when booking and will not change. Thirdly, the polite driver will meet you with a name sign upon arrival, walk you to the car, help with your luggage, and drive you to your hotel. Besides, whatever country you visit, the 24/7 English-speaking customer support is ready to answer all your questions about the trip.
Travel Tip: If you arrive in Athens too early for your check-in or your departure time is too many hours after your check-out, and you need a place to store your luggage, check out Radical Storage in Athens, a website that shows you all the safe places to keep your bags while still exploring Athens.

How to Reach Port Ferry Terminal Piraeus:
How to Reach Port Ferry Terminal Piraeus from Athens Airport by bus:
The Bus X96 goes directly from the airport to Piraeus’s ferry terminal, and the journey takes between 45 and 90 minutes (depending on the time of the day and traffic) and costs 6 euros. Buses run every 30/40 minutes, 24 hours a day.
To reach the bus to Athens, walk outside the arrival gate, turn right, and buy your ticket at the ticket kiosk. The bus terminal is at the Arrival Terminal between exits 4 and 5.
How to Reach Port Ferry Terminal Piraeus from Athens Airport by metro:
If you plan to stop for a few hours in Athens to explore the city center before heading to Piraeus Port Terminal to catch your ferry to the islands, you must get to the metro station inside Athens Airport.
The metro station is located only a 10-minute walk from the terminal, at the departure level; it is straightforward to get there; follow the direction sign “Train,” and you cannot get lost (all signs are also in English).
You can purchase a one-way ticket to Athens center for 10 euros at the station ticket office and get to the city center in only 40 minutes with the Metro 3.
This metro train departs every 30 minutes from 6.30 am to 11.30 pm. If you want to go straight to the Piraeus Ferry Terminal, the Metro 3 will take you there in 1 hour.
How to Reach Port Ferry Terminal Piraeus from Athens Airport by train:
If you want to get straight to Piraeus Ferry Port Terminal, follow the ” Train ” sign and get to the Train and Metro station. You can purchase a one-way ticket to Piraeus by train there. Suburban Railway trains depart from the Airport every hour from 6.00 am to 10.00 pm.
Tickets cost between 2-3 euros one way.

How to Reach Rafina Port from Athens Airport:
A second Ferry Port in Athens (not so famous as the Piraeus one) connects some islands and other parts of the Greek mainland. If you have to get there, catch the bus opposite the Sofitel Hotel, you don’t need to purchase your ticket at the ticket office, pay the driver a fee of 4 euros (make sure to have cash).
I always think it is better to book a private transfer from the airport to the hotel or, in this case, take the port ferry. So, in case of a train/bus strike, you won’t get to your destinations late.
My favorite private airport transfer website is Kiwitaxi. On this site, one can book a transfer from or to the airport in 98 countries, between tourist destinations, or other locations popular with tourists.
Unfortunately, getting to Rafina Port from Athens Airport is not as easy as it should be. If by car/taxi, you can get there in only 23 minutes, by public transport it will take you more than 1 hour and 30 minutes, and you have to change 3 buses or 1 train and 3 buses. It’s not the most straightforward way if you carry heavy luggage, so look at some private transport.

How to Move Around Athens
Move around Athens by walk:
My favorite way to move around is by walking. If you book accommodation in the city center, you won’t need public transport much, only to go from the airport to the city center and in case you want to visit some area outside the center.
Luckily, the most famous sights are around the Acropolis (the center of Athens), so you will walk around the city center without missing anything. Remember to download the free Citymapper App to navigate Athens like a local.

Move Around Athens by bus:
You can move by bus, it is very cheap, and all the areas are well connected. Time schedules vary by day, line, and season but usually run between 5.00 am and midnight. Some lines run 24 hours a day. See how to move around Athens by bus on Citymapper.
If you plan to visit other cities or areas outside Athens, I always advise booking bus tickets in advance to plan your holiday in the best possible way. Check bus and train options and prices and book your tickets in advance.
Move Around Athens by metro:
Athens Metro is pretty new and clean. It has three lines that will take you almost everywhere. I had no issue using it; all the signs are in Greek and English, which is very easy.
The ticket costs 1.40 euros and is valid for 90 minutes after validation. With it, you can catch buses, trams, and the metro. Navigate Athens Metro with the help of the free Citymapper App.
A 24-hour ticket costs 4.50 euros.
A 5-day ticket costs 9 euros.
A 3-day tourist ticket (that includes return transport from the airport) costs 22 euros.
To travel from and to the airport, you must purchase an airport ticket that costs 10 euros one way and an 18 euros return ticket. You can buy your Airport return ticket at the airport once you land.
Move Around Athens by taxi:
Bolt is the most used Taxi app in Athens if you are in a rush, prefer private transport, or want to stay out late at night. Unfortunately, many taxi drivers will take advantage of tourists, so the best way to pay the right price is to book a taxi with BetterTaxi.
Explore outside Athens by car:
If you like driving like me and you want to explore what is outside Athens, you can always rent a car. In this case, I always look at my favorite rental car websites and see where I find the best deals. Have a look at them here:
- EconomyBookings: A very easy-to-use rental car website to book your car in more than 150 countries.
- Rentalcars: Rentalcars.com is an international car rental booking service that is present all over the world.
Disclaimer: This article contains some general information about natural remedies. Before using any of the items featured here, it is strongly recommended that you consult a medical practitioner to check that it is appropriate. This is particularly important if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an existing medical condition, and/or are taking prescription drugs.

Are tap water and food safe in Athens?
On the mainland, it’s safe to drink water from taps and fountains, which you will find, especially in the city center and parks. I always carry a reusable bottle so I can fill it up anytime I have the chance. However, it would be better for you to avoid it on the islands.
If you are not sure, it’s always safe to ask locals or, in doubt, drink bottled water. Honestly, Athens has so much to offer that the only problem you will have is that your stomach is not big enough to eat everything you wish.
Greek food is delicious; there are fish, meat, vegetables, and cheese. If you want to know more about it, look at my article “Food and Drinks You Have to Try in Greece” to understand better what to look for when you are there.
You can also find some pretty good vegan restaurants. I added some to my article “Top Places to Eat Local Food in Athens,” where you will find all the best local restaurants for every budget and where to taste the local food.
That’s why I always carry with me some Nature Aid DigestEeze Milk Thistle, just in case I overeat because, as my mom always says, “I eat with my eyes and not with my mouth.”
Unfortunately, bad luck happens everywhere. Sometimes, it is not the food but our stomach that needs to get used to the new cuisine (and let’s be honest, we all eat and drink more than usual when on holiday). If I have stomach upset or food poisoning, these natural remedies can make me feel better.

My favorite natural remedies for stomach upset or food poisoning: (Ask your doctor if you can take them).
Milk Thistle: Milk thistle has a long history of traditional use for relieving digestive discomfort associated with occasional overindulgence in food and drink, such as indigestion and upset stomach. It may be a helpful option to consider supporting digestive comfort while traveling.
Charcoal capsules: Activated charcoal has a history of traditional use for managing occasional digestive upset. Some studies suggest it may be helpful in certain cases of digestive discomfort related to food. While I personally keep charcoal capsules in my travel kit, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional for advice on using them, especially for persistent or severe symptoms.
Probiotics: Probiotics are often discussed for their potential to support gut health, especially when traveling. My doctor has suggested that taking probiotics a few days before and during travel to certain destinations may be a helpful strategy for maintaining digestive balance. It’s important to consult with your own healthcare professional for personalized advice on probiotic use, especially if you experience digestive upset.
Before using any of these natural remedies, talk to your doctor

In Athens, you will find a massive variety of food, from meat to fish and delicious vegetables.

Tipping Guide in Athens:
In Athens restaurants, a 10-20% gratuity is often added to the bill, so check that you’re not already paying the tip before adding more. If not, a 10-15% tip is encouraged, mostly in tourist places.
The tip should reflect the customer service you received, so it is up to you to decide how much to give.

Cost of Travelling in Athens:
How expensive is Athens? Athens is a famous capital, so if you want to save money, I advise you to avoid it from June to August when it can be tedious, crowded and more expensive.
Flights to Athens can be very cheap from September to May (I went from London to Athens, and a one-way ticket cost me 55 £ at the end of August), so have a look at my favorite flight website that I used to travel to check flights to Greece:
Skyscanner is a travel search engine that allows users to compare airline prices and offers, specializing in low-cost airfare. In Athens, you can find accommodations for every budget.
The websites that I love the most for finding amazing deals are Booking.com and Agoda.com. They allow me to find and compare worldwide hotel prices to find the best possible deals for my travels. What I like about Athens is that you can have lunch for only 5 Euro and feel very satisfied.

Shopping and Souvenirs in Athens:
The options are limitless in a cultural country like Athens, and you will find many shops that sell arts and crafts wherever you go. Locally hand-crafted ceramics, wood carvings, textiles, and jewelry are perfect as souvenirs. If you want to buy antiques, please beware of fakes and stick to reputable sellers.
Also, liquors and food are excellent ideas to take home with you, like Ouzo, the famous anise-flavored spirit, honey, herbs for cooking like thyme or oregano, olive oil is delicious in Greece and olives.

Is Athens safe for a solo female traveler?
This capital is pretty safe if you know the areas to avoid. During the day, with tourists and locals around the streets, the only thing you will have to worry about are pickpockets, which can unfortunately be present in every tourist city.
These are the safest areas in Athens where to look for accommodation and walk around exploring:
- Thissio
- Plaka
- Pagrakti
- Siggrou Fix
- Monastiraki
- Zografou
- Neos Kosmos
- Koukaki
- Ano Patisia
- Megaro Mousikis
These are the most dangerous Athens district to avoid, where daily drug use and crime happen daily:
- Omnia during the night. During the day, Omnia is full of shops, bars, and good restaurants
- Kolokotroni Square
- The lower side of Kolonos
- Agio Panteleimomas
- Metaxourgio back streets
- Exarcheia
- Vathi
So I advise having an antitheft purse or an antitheft backpack with you. Prudence is never enough when you are far from home, even in the safest place in the world. Overnight, I advise a solo woman traveler to keep your eyes open wherever you are because bad things can happen anywhere, anytime, to anybody, so please put safety first.
During my solo travels, I always contacted locals through travelers’ Facebook groups. I have been lucky to meet people who took me around and showed me their city, so I felt pretty safe being out late in the evening because I wasn’t alone.
Read how to stay safe when traveling solo and all the mistakes to avoid as a female solo traveler.
Travel Safety Tip: As soon as you book your next adventure, buy good travel insurance in case you need to “unfortunately” delay, extend, or cancel your trip. I usually find good deals on VISITORSCOVERAGE for up to 1 month of trip length and SAFETYWING for longer trips. They are insurance companies that cover everything related to your travel.

How to book a Bus, Train, and rental car in Athens:
When I plan a trip, I always make sure to have a well-planned trip (because this makes me feel more relaxed and helps me fight anxiety). I am not talking about planning where to be every time of the day because when traveling, it is nice to be a little spontaneous but not too much, if you know what I mean.
I like to book everything in advance, like accommodation, flights, buses, train tickets, restaurants for dinner, museums, and activities, because I have learned during my travels that the sooner, the better.
Just knowing that I’ve bought all my tickets and anything else that can be booked puts me at ease and reduces a lot of my anxiety because I know that almost everything is planned (most activities can be canceled 24 hours in advance when booked online, and this is absolutely amazing in case I have to cancel it).

So here are some links that will help you to plan at least the essentials for Athens:
Book a train to explore outside Athens:
One excellent website for buying train tickets in Greece is Trainline, where you can check all the trains available and book your tickets in advance. I always use it when traveling, and they are great websites.
Book a bus to explore outside Athens:
Traveling by bus is the cheapest way to travel around Greece. It is more affordable than traveling by train, but it is not as fast, so it depends on how much time you have and your budget.
Sometimes, if there is no train, there is a bus or maybe even a ferry. So check out all the options available.
Greece island hopping Tip: Check out Ferryhopper, the best ferry website to reach the Greek islands. Where you will find all the ferry routes available in Greece.

Rent a car to explore outside Athens:
An excellent way to visit Greece is by renting a car, so you can stop whenever and go wherever you need to. The cost of renting a car in Greece is pretty cheap compared to other European countries, so if you are on an island and want to explore every single beach and little village like I love to do, the best way is by renting a car.
I always look at my favorite rental car websites, and I see where I find the best deals:
- EconomyBookings is a rental car website where you can find incredible rental car deals in more than 150 countries.
- Rentalcars: Rentalcars.com is an international car rental booking service that is present all over the world.
There is also another way to travel that not everybody thinks about, and it is by Renting a Scooter or a Bicycle. If the weather is nice, why not enjoy the beauty of Greece driving a nice scooter or a bicycle without the issue of finding a parking space?
If this is an option, I have a fantastic website for you to check, BikesBooking, where you can choose between any scooter, motorbike, quad, or bicycle.

You can book one of the best Athens walking tours, the unmissable local food tours in Athens, an incredible experience of a local Greek dinner in Athens, the best deals to visit the Acropolis and other museums, and if you wish to explore what’s outside the Greek capital, don’t miss the best day tours from Athens.
Maybe a day trip to Sparta from Athens is the best way to spend an extra day in Greece.
Another fantastic way to explore Greece and avoid travel anxiety is by booking a multiday tour from Athens, where you can relax while they take you to the best places in Greece without the need to plan your travel.

Is it easy to find wifi in Athens?
Let’s talk connectivity because, let’s be honest, even when we’re escaping the daily grind, we still like to share our adventures (or at least check in with the family to prove a charming Greek god hasn’t abducted us).
The good news? Athens is seriously wired. You won’t have any trouble finding Wi-Fi, especially if you’re like me and gravitate towards cute cafes for a caffeine fix or plan on indulging in some seriously delicious Greek meals.
Almost all hotels offer it, and most restaurants and bars are in on the digital action, too. So, whether you need to upload that stunning sunset pic over the Acropolis, Facetime your family to show them the Parthenon, or just quickly check your emails (we all do it!), you can stay connected without breaking a sweat.
Just maybe try to tear yourself away from your phone long enough to actually experience the magic of Athens, okay?
Travel Tip: Most phone providers charge extra fees to use your data plan abroad. If you don’t want to end up paying a fortune to use the internet in Greece, buying an eSIM for Greece on Airalo is the fastest and easiest way to have all the data you need while traveling. Check it out here!
