Athens International Airport (ATH) is Greece’s main international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season.

Surface links include the suburban rail and metro (about 40 minutes to Syntagma), express buses (35–60 minutes) and taxis (fixed fares or metered rides), with typical bus/rail fares being modest.
