The airport sits about 33 km east of central Athens; standard transport options include the suburban rail or Metro line 3 (roughly 40–45 minutes to Syntagma), express buses (about 60 minutes depending on traffic) and taxis (around 30–45 minutes, more at peak times). Fares can range from modest rail/bus tickets to higher taxi fares for late-night or direct trips. Pros: modern facilities, good international connections and multiple transfer options; cons: distance from the center and occasional peak-hour congestion.
