I read online that Athens metro has implemented a contactless payment system (Tap2ride). Could anyone who has used it please confirm that I can simply tap my phone at the metro fare gate to pay for ticket with Apple Pay (credit card), without the need to buy ticket at the machine or ticket office. I plan to use this method to take the M3 train from the airport to Syntagma station, then change to the M2 train to reach Acropoli. Thanks in advance!

Yes you can, I live in Athens & see people do it daily plus some visiting friends have opted to do this instead of a ticket :) It also applies on buses, trams & trolleys should you need to use one during your stay.

I'll be visiting Greece for the first time next month and am looking forward to the tour!
Thanks for your confirmation, really appreciate it!
