Transfer from Airport to Hotel Attalos

You cannot take the metro from the airport.
You can hop on the Express Bus (I believe it leaves from a well marked spot
outside the terminal every 1/2 hour or hour), just a few Euro apiece, which
will take you straight to Syntagma Square. The Attalos is a short walk from
there down Ermou St. This is what I'll be doing in Sept.
From what I've heard lately, a taxi is around 30 Euro from the airport into
downtown Athens. And hang on to your hats.... unless the traffic is slowed to
a trickle.

OK I stand corrected. It is a year since a was in the area. They must
have done a lot of burrowing underground in the last year. It's a long
time since I can remember Monastariki as anything more than a huge
construction site.
