I will be coming to Greece in June and will be travelling down south and up north. Can some one tell me if there is a bus that takes you from Terminal A to Terminal B? What would be the the bus number and can you catch it outside of Terminal A (street name for bus stop would be helpful). Also, is there a bus that goes from Terminal B to Syntagma (bus number and street to catch the bus)? Thanks for the advice in advance, Shirley

The airport is small enough that it's easy to walk between terminals. I'm not sure there is one but if there is a bus it will be clearly marked and available outside the arrivals level. The X95 bus leaves the airport for Syntagma from outside Door 5 on the Arrivals Level every 20 minutes or so, 24/7/365. The fare is €5. Buy your ticket from the outside kiosk near Door 5 and validate it inside the bus. There is also a Metro Train (Blue Line) from the airport to Syntagma Square and Monastiraki Square for €8 between 5:30am and Midnight at least once per hour. It takes 45 minutes and isn't affected by traffic jams during high traffic hours.

Shirley, are you referring to Bus Terminals A and B? I don't have the information you are looking for as I usually just take a taxi to the bus stations. I once told the driver to take me to Terminal A and he really didn't know what I meant. I then told him what city I wanted to take a bus to and he took me to the appropriate station. So, it might be handy to know that the stations are sometimes referred to as the Peloponnisou Station and the Liosson Station (Kifissou St.). Check this website for more information on the KTEL buses of Greece: http://livingingreece.gr/2008/06/13/ktel-buses-of-greece/ Hope this helps!

I just realized that you were asking about the Central Athens bus terminals A & B. I apologize if I confused you. I'm not familiar with the inner-city buses but these two web pages might help. Notice the information at the top of each box under the heading, "Long Distance Bus Timetable". http://www.athensguide.com/practicalinfo/busschedulesA.htm http://www.athensguide.com/practicalinfo/busschedulesB.htm

Shirley The Expresss bus X93 runs from the airport to both bus stations. stopping first at Liossion and then going on to Kifisou. I assume it's possible to use it to connect from one to the otherm but I've never done so. Details of times from the airport are here, to give you an idea of frequency http://www.oasa.gr/xmap.php?id=px93 Cheers Alan
