We arrive in Athens at 4:40 pm on a weekday in mid-February and will have been traveling for close to 14 hours by then. Our Airbnb host suggested a taxi as public transportation at that time (probably around 6 - 6:30 pm) will still be crowded and take longer than driving. She suggested we just get one from the stand and said it should be €40 - 45. I have read about problems with tired, non-Greek speaking visitors being overcharged and while we are very experienced travelers we definitely fit the demographic.
So, I think we'd be smarter to arrange a pick up. Normally we'd use Uber but if there's a taxi strike we'd be out of luck. I understand pre-arranged taxis are exempt from striking. I'm looking for recommendations. I've contacted George's Taxi and was shocked to see they charged €60 to take us to Koukaki. I'm also considering Welcome Pickups but there seem to be more negative reviews than I'd like to see.
The most recent post on this topic in the Greece forum was almost a year ago, so I'm hoping for recent info, thanks!
