How to get to the hotel from the airport:

 

As of March 28th, 2001, there is only one airport in Athens, which serves both the international and domestic flights. The new airport is in Spata, about 30kms from the city centre. The new airport is accessible as follows:

 

a)  By the Athens Metro: Metro Line 3 (the "Blue Line") as far as Syntagma Square and then transfer onto Metro Line 2 (the “Red Line”) to the Acropolis Station, which is one stop from Syntagma Square (EUR 8,00). Runs every half hour from 6:30 to 23:30. Link to the Athens Metro Web Site.

 

b)  By taxi: outside the arrivals there is a taxi queue. The price list is available on an announcement board. All taxis have a meter and you may ask for the receipt. There is an airport fee of EUR 3,00 (from/to the airport) and a luggage fee of EUR 0,30 per piece of luggage over 10 kilos. Double tariff between 24:00 and 05:00. Minimum charge is EUR 1,60. You should expect to pay between EUR 20,00-25,00 during day time and EUR 35,00 - 40,00 during night time to reach the hotel. Trip time differs from 45 min to 1 1/2 hours depending on traffic. Make sure that the driver understands that you are going to the Herodion Hotel and NOT the Holiday Inn – if you say it fast you can see how it might be misunderstood.

 

c)  Private taxi transfer – can be prearranged so that a taxi will be waiting for you at the airport and will be only for you. (Max. 4 persons per taxi. If you have a lot of luggage, a second taxi may be needed. The cost is as follows:

     i) EUR  66 per taxi during office hours (8:30am-8:30pm), on weekdays

     ii) EUR  78 per taxi during non-office hours, on weekends and holidays

 

    If you want an English speaking escort a supplement of EUR 25 will be added to the above prices.

 

TIP:. Rush hours are 8:00-10:00AM, 2:30-4:00PM and 8:00-9:00PM. As traffic conditions are unpredictable in Athens, we recommend allowing at least 1 hour getting to and from the airport.
