Transfer from Athens airport to Napflio

Posted by CharleneB (Colorado ) on 07/24/26 10:28 PM

My husband and I will arrive in Athens at 2:55 pm on September 3, after a flight from Denver, connecting through Munich. We're going directly to Nafplion, and would appreciate some advice on getting there.

Rental car is out -- we are in our 80's so can't rent cars (and wouldn't want to anyway after that long flight).

Welcome Pickups would charge 258 euros to transport us, which seems like a lot. I know there's an inexpensive bus, but taking the bus from the airport to the bus terminal in Athens, and then waiting, and then a long bus ride, sounds exhausting.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a more reasonable transfer option?

From 220 to 250€ is roughly the price range for an airport transfer to Nafplio.

Try these ones which might be a bit cheaper than Welcome Pickups since WP isn't a taxi company, just an intermediary that takes a commission on the fare

You could take a taxi to the Kifissos KTEL bus station to catch the bus to Nafplio. The taxi should cost around €50, and buses run roughly every hour; the ticket costs €15.

If you take the 5:30 PM or 6:30 PM one, you'll arrive two hours later, perfect timing for dinner in Greece.

Without a rental car, I don't see any options other than a taxi or the bus.

Considering its a 210+ mile trip for the driver, that is not an unreasonable cost.

Have you asked your lodging for a suggestion?

Looks like Daytrip would charge $237. That is only slightly better, so the cost that Welcome Pickups quoted is in the ballpark. Both of those prices seem very reasonable considering the time and distance required for your transfer. Based on our experience, I do know that Daytrip is door to door and has always been very reliable. We have not used Welcome Pickups.

The bus would be your least expensive option but a bit more involved as mentioned.

I used this transfer company a number of years ago.

At the time it was 150 euros so may be more expensive.

However, it was door to door service, pick up at airport and drop off at your accommodation.

You could also check out the best website for Nafplio and contact the person who runs it who may be able to help with a transfer.
