Metro
Exit customs first before going to the baggage area to get your luggage.
Turn right after you exit and you will see a sign for trains. Go outside and cross the road. Take the elevator to the second floor and take the long escalator and you will see the ticket station in front of you. Buy the metro ticket for Euro 9 one way and the platform is on your right after you finish buying the ticket.
Take the elevator downstairs and you are at the blue line platform.
The metro has a fixed schedule and it takes almost 40 minutes from the Athen airport to Syntagma.
There are a lot of police around, some in cars, some in motorcycles and some in bicycles. I feel safer in Athens compared to Paris Or Italy where I didn’t see much police presence. Most of the stores have a security as well even Starbucks has a security standing inside the store. But looks like Athens also has a high rate of stealing like other European countries, so still need to be watchful of your valuables.
The prices here is like other European countries where it already included all the taxes and tips are optional. Notice that stores in Athens charge extra for plastic lids which is different than U.S.
Has to pay an accommodation tax/climate fee of Euro 15/night per room and it depends on the number of stars of the hotel. For 5 stars, it is Euro 15/night per room.
Tax refund for purchasing LV bag is 12%.
Use Uber instead of arranging car beforehand as it’s much cheaper using Uber as they also use Taxi which is the same as arranging a car with aviator beforehand.
