- Fair taxi price (official, daytime): €40 - €55. Use the official taxi rank outside the arrivals hall. Athens airport operates a fixed fare for the center by destination zone; confirm the price with the driver before starting. Unlicensed drivers approach travelers inside the terminal, avoid them.
- Best alternative: Metro Line 3 (blue line) from the airport station to Syntagma or Monastiraki (€10)
- Tickets must be validated in the yellow or blue machines at the station entrance before boarding. Validation prints the date and time; inspectors may board randomly and check stamped tickets. Airport tickets are validated at the airport station turnstiles. Fine without a valid ticket: €60.
- Tipping is appreciated but not expected. Round up restaurant bills or leave about 5 to 10 percent for good service. Taxi drivers and tour guides appreciate a few euros but it is not mandatory.
- Cover charge is uncommon but some tourist-area restaurants add bread, service or a tourist fee to the bill. Check the menu for a listed charge and review the bill before paying. Some places in busy tourist zones serve menus without prices, always confirm prices before ordering.
- Always choose to be charged in euros and decline dynamic currency conversion at ATMs and card terminals. Prefer ATMs attached to major Greek banks. Independent ATM brands in tourist areas are widely reported to charge high fees. Cards are accepted widely, cash is still expected at small tavernas and market stalls.
