When you book a driver to help you get from the airport to your next destination, you’re getting a friend who can help you navigate this new city. Although there are plenty of options for getting from the Athens International Airport to the city, from 24 hour express buses to the metro, taking public transportation can add more stress on you, especially if you’ve never been to Greece before. What you will get from having one of our drivers help you with your Athens airport transportation is something you simply can’t get from taking public transport. Our drivers will make it easy to understand where you are, while getting you to your destination on time. They are full of information, and would love to tell you about this city as you get acquainted with the area during your first moments here in Athens. Our Athens airport transfers make life easy, so that getting from point A to point B doesn’t feel nearly as overwhelming.
The first option you have for an Athens airport transfer once you arrive in Athens is to have your driver take you to your hotel or port, if you have a cruise scheduled for after you arrive. Our drivers are fantastic at getting you to your next destination on time, and are dedicated to making sure that you have a seamless transfer to your hotel, so you can relax after a long day of travel. If you are visiting Athens on business and are going to need transportation to multiple destinations after arriving, we will ensure that your driver is there for you, ready to pick you up and take you to wherever you need to go, so you don’t have to worry about navigating a new city all on your own.
If you are boarding a cruise after arriving in Athens, you can rest assured knowing that our drivers will help you arrive safely and on time, so that all you have to worry about is finding your driver once you get through customs. Most major cruise lines dock in Piraeus, and transferring to this port from the airport is something we do on a regular basis. You will not have to worry about missing your boat when you use one of our drivers to help you navigate Athens. While most major cruise lines dock in Piraeus specifically, the ports we transfer to include Piraeus, Lavrion, and Rafina. If you arrive at the airport early, and want to fill your day with some Greek exploration before boarding your ship, consider booking a full day or half day tour with the driver who picks you up from the airport.
If you would like to simply have a direct Athens airport transfer, you’ll of course have the option of going straight to your hotel. One highly recommended hotel close to the airport is Sofitel Athens Airport. This modern hotel is convenient for the business traveler, and perfect for the traveler on a budget.
If you don’t wish to go directly to your hotel, though, a day tour of Athens is a fantastic way to get to know a new city. If you have some extra time before you need to arrive at your hotel, port, or other destination, our drivers would be more than happy to show you around town on either a full day or half day tour of the city. No matter what, tour schedules are always flexible, and we’d be happy to adjust the tour to fit the amount of time you have in your day. A half day tour is the perfect option if you’re going to board a cruise ship in the afternoon and need something to keep you busy before your ship departs. If you’d like to go straight to your hotel in Athens and save a tour to take another day, a full day tour might be for you. These private tours will focus on showing you everything that Athens has to offer, including historical sites like the Acropolis. Each informative tour takes you to many of the major sites and attractions around Athens, and focuses on showing you all of the must-sees you can fit into your busy schedule.
