Athens suits you if you want to see ancient sites and big museums and plan a day for a trip to the sea. The Acropolis has been on UNESCO's World Heritage List since 1987, and the National Archaeological Museum, with around 11,000 exhibits, is the largest museum in Greece.
Quite a lot has changed since 2024. The Acropolis costs €30, in July 2024 it was still €20 (as of September 2026). Since July 2025 you enter the Ancient Agora only through the gate at Thissio Square, and the area around Hadrian's Arch is closed because of building work (announcement of 1 April 2026).
Athens suits you less in July and August, when the mean daily high at the Nea Filadelfia station is 33.8 and 33.6 °C. In July 2025 the Acropolis closed on eight days from midday until 17:00 because of the heat.
Getting there and from the airport into the city
In 2025 Athens ranked 17th among the most-flown international destinations from the main German airports: 1,038,866 passengers from Germany boarded there with Athens as their destination. Among the Greek destinations only Heraklion was ahead. Most departed from Munich and Frankfurt, together around 61%. July was the busiest month and January the quietest (Federal Statistical Office, year 2025; breakdowns: own analysis).

From “Eleftherios Venizelos” airport (ATH) you can continue by metro, suburban railway, express bus, regional bus or taxi (airport website, as of September 2026). According to the timetable, the blue metro line 3 takes around 40 minutes to Syntagma, 42 to Monastiraki and 61 to Piraeus. The first train leaves the airport at 06:10, the last at 23:34. From Syntagma the airport trains run from 05:53 to 23:18 (as of 13 September 2026).
According to the operator STASY, a train runs to the airport and back every 36 minutes every day (as of 13 September 2026). The airport ticket costs €9.00, €16.00 return (as of September 2026). It is valid for 90 minutes on all OASA transport except the express buses to the airport and the X80. The normal ticket for €1.20 only takes you as far as Koropi, not to the airport.
Tip
Tourist ticket: 3 days of public transport including the airport for €20
In Athens the 3-day tourist ticket costs €20: 72 hours of public transport and one journey each to and from the airport by metro or express bus (as of September 2026). A return metro journey plus a 5-day ticket cost €24.20 if bought separately, or €19.20 with the express bus instead of the metro (own calculation).
Suburban railway: hourly to Athens station
The Hellenic Train suburban railway runs from the airport via Athens station (Larissis), where long-distance trains depart, to Piraeus. According to the timetable it starts every hour at minute 32, from 05:32 to 23:32, and takes 45 minutes to Athens station (own calculation). The last train back leaves there at 22:04 (timetable of May 2026). The metro airport ticket is valid here too (as of September 2026).
Express buses: €5.50 around the clock
Four express bus lines run around the clock. The X95 goes to Syntagma Square, with a connection to metro lines 2 and 3, and the X96 goes along the coast road to the port of Piraeus. The X93 stops at the Kifissos and Liossion bus stations, and the X97 at Elliniko metro station (at night from Dafni). According to OASA, the journey takes about 60 minutes with the X95, 90 with the X96, 65 with the X93 and 45 with the X97, depending on traffic.
A journey costs €5.50, and you can also pay contactless by card or phone at the blue validator (as of September 2026). Towards the airport nobody may get off along the way, and in the opposite direction nobody may get on.
Taxi: fixed fare €50 by day, €65 at night
Taxis wait around the clock at exit 3 on the arrivals level. Between the airport and the city centre (inner ring) a fixed fare including all surcharges applies in both directions. According to the Government Gazette, since 18 September 2026 it is €50 by day from 05:00 to 24:00 and €65 at night from 00:00 to 05:00; before that it was €40 and €55. Which one applies depends on your arrival time at your destination. A receipt is mandatory, and Uber, which works with licensed taxi drivers, also charges the fixed fare on this route.

Sights: times, prices and rules in 2026
Acropolis: €30 and entry in a time slot
According to UNESCO, the rock is 156 metres high. Admission to the Acropolis and its slopes costs €30, reduced €15 (as of September 2026). It is open from 1 April to 31 August from 8:00 to 20:00. In September and October the closing time moves forward by half an hour every half month, from 19:30 to finally 18:00 (as of October 2026). From 1 November to 31 March it is 8:00 to 17:00.
According to the ministry's table, the last entry is 20 minutes before closing; another ministry page says 30 minutes. It is closed on 1 January, 25 March, 1 May, Easter Sunday and on 25 and 26 December (as of September 2026).
In 2023 the Ministry of Culture introduced hourly time slots between 8:00 and 20:00, with a maximum of 20,000 visitors a day. According to the minister, around half of the visitors wanted to get in between 8:00 and 12:00 (as of 2023). You can only enter in your booked slot, and it can be changed free of charge up to twice until 120 minutes beforehand (as of September 2026). Official online tickets are sold by Hellenic Heritage, the ministry's platform, at tickets.hh.gr.
Caution
Acropolis ticket: no second entry
The ticket for the Acropolis and its slopes is valid for a single entry. Once you are outside, whether from the rock or from the south slope, the ticket is used up (as of September 2026). According to the culture minister, there cannot be a “skip the line” option because of the Propylaea; she called such offers a deception (announcement of 2023).
July 2025 shows how heat can affect a visit. On 8 and 9 July the Acropolis was closed from 13:00 to 17:00, and from 22 to 27 July from 12:00 to 17:00 each day. In the event of a closure due to force majeure, the terms of use allow the validity of the online ticket to be extended or the price to be refunded (as of September 2026).
Since 1 June 2025, paths on the north slope that had long been closed are open again, for example to the Klepsydra and the sacred grottoes. The toilets on the site are being renovated, and replacements are to the right and left of the main entrance. Food and drink are forbidden on the site, and the cloakroom does not accept large pieces of luggage (as of September 2026).
For people with reduced mobility, a lift runs on the north side, but not in strong wind; register on +30 2131317762 (as of 26 September 2026). Getting there: metro line 2 to Akropoli, then along Dionysiou Areopagitou Street.
Acropolis Museum: €20, open until 22:00 on Fridays
The museum, which opened in 2009, has cost €20 to enter all year round since 1 November 2024, reduced €10 (as of September 2026). There is no joint ticket with the Acropolis. From April to October it is open on Mondays from 9:00 to 17:00, on Fridays until 22:00, and on the other days until 20:00. From 1 November to 31 March it closes at 17:00 from Monday to Thursday; last entry is 30 minutes before closing.
Caution
Acropolis Museum: concessions only at the ticket desk
Anyone entitled to reduced or free admission gets their ticket at the Acropolis Museum only at the museum ticket desk and has to show proof there. Online there is only the standard ticket for €20 (as of September 2026).
Ancient Agora: only through the gate at Thissio Square
Admission costs €20, reduced €10, museum included (as of September 2026). Because of building work, since 1 July 2025 only the gate at Thissio Square near Thiseio metro station is the entrance and exit; the main entrance on Adrianou Street stays closed. Since November 2025 the Church of the Holy Apostles and the exhibition on the upper floor of the Stoa of Attalos have also been closed. The Temple of Hephaestus stands above the Agora. According to Hellenic Heritage, it is the best preserved of the temples of the 5th century BC.
Olympieion, Roman Agora, Hadrian's Library, Kerameikos
The Olympieion, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, costs €20; the Roman Agora, Hadrian's Library and Kerameikos cost €10 each (as of September 2026). All four close at 20:00 from April to August, progressively earlier in September and October, and at 15:00 from November to March. Because of building work on Vasilissis Olgas Avenue, the area around Hadrian's Arch is closed (announcement of 1 April 2026). The western hills with Philopappos, Pnyx and the Hill of the Nymphs can be visited without admission (as of September 2026).
National Archaeological Museum
Admission costs €20, reduced €10 (as of September 2026). From 1 May to 31 October it is open daily from 8:00 to 20:00, on Tuesdays from 13:00. In April and from November to March it is 8:30 to 15:30, on Tuesdays 13:00 to 20:00. The museum at 44 Patission Street is an 8-minute walk from Victoria metro station (line 1).

According to the port authority, Piraeus handles around 20 million passengers a year, and free buses shuttle between the berths. The Saronic Ferries boats to Aegina leave from gate E8, around a 5-minute walk from Piraeus station. The first one leaves at 07:20 and takes 1 hour 10 minutes; in summer a boat leaves almost every hour (as of September 2026).

From November to March it is 10:00 to 17:30 (as of October 2026).

It takes around 35 minutes to the centre, and only the day ticket and the tourist ticket are valid on the X80 (as of September 2026).
Day trip: Cape Sounion until sunset
The Doric Temple of Poseidon was built in the middle of the 5th century BC, and sailors knew the cape as “Kavokolones”, the Cape of the Columns. It is around 65 minutes by car from the centre.

Tip
Free Acropolis: fixed days and winter Sundays
The Acropolis is free of charge on 6 March, 18 April, 18 May, on the last weekend of September and on 28 October. From November to March it is also free on the first and third Sunday (as of September 2026). Anyone from an EU country who is 25 or younger pays no admission at state-run sites; an ID card or passport is enough as proof.
Climate resilience fee: per room and night
Throughout Greece, guests pay a fee for resilience to the climate crisis; the current rates have applied since 1 January 2025. It is charged per room or apartment and night, not per person, and is collected against a receipt before departure (as of September 2026):
- Hotels from April to October: €2.00 (1 to 2 stars), €5.00 (3 stars), €10.00 (4 stars), €15.00 (5 stars)
- Hotels from November to March: €0.50, €1.50, €3.00 and €4.00, in the same scale by stars
- Short-term rentals: €8.00 from April to October, €2.00 from November to March
Three nights in a 4-star hotel therefore cost €30 per room in October and €9 in November (own calculation).
Practical information
Public transport: tickets and validating
The single ticket costs €1.20 and is valid for 90 minutes on buses and trams as well as on the metro and suburban railway as far as Koropi; the day ticket costs €4.10 and the 5-day ticket €8.20 (as of September 2026). At metro and suburban railway stations you hold your ticket or card to the validator at the entrance and at the exit, on buses and trams only when boarding. Without a valid ticket you pay a €100 fine, based on a joint ministerial decision in the Government Gazette of 28 May 2026. The last metro on line 3 leaves Syntagma at 00:23 from Sunday to Thursday and at 02:00 on Fridays; on Saturdays it runs through the night (as of 13 September 2026).
Tip
Tap2Ride: €4.10 a day at most
Instead of buying a ticket, you hold a contactless Visa or Mastercard, Apple Pay or Google Pay to the validator on the metro, tram and bus. For city journeys, no more than €4.10 a day is charged; airport journeys cost extra (as of September 2026). On the metro, use the same device when entering and leaving, otherwise you pay twice.
Money, time, emergencies
You pay in euros. Tipping is voluntary; if you were happy with a restaurant, the tourism authority suggests 5 to 10%. Athens is one hour ahead of Germany (own calculation from UTC+2, UTC+3 in summer). Emergency number 112, ambulance 166, police 100, tourist police 1571.
Lunch is eaten from around 14:00, dinner not before 21:00. According to the tourism authority, tap water meets EU standards and you can drink it in most regions (as of September 2026).
What applies on entry, safety and health is currently set out by the German Foreign Office.

Travel and safety advice: Greece (in German) (opens in a new tab)Who it is not for
- Anyone who wants to avoid heat but can only travel in July or August: The mean daily high is then around 34 °C. In July 2025 the Acropolis closed from midday on eight days.
- Anyone who wants to visit the Acropolis spontaneously at a time of their choice: Entry is only in the booked time slot, and in 2023, according to the culture minister, around half of the visitors wanted to get in in the morning.
- Anyone who wants to see many sites on a small budget: The Acropolis costs €30, the Agora, Olympieion, National Museum and Acropolis Museum €20 each (as of September 2026).
- Anyone who wants to see everything without building sites: The main entrance of the Agora is closed, the area around Hadrian's Arch is closed, and the toilets on the Acropolis are being renovated.
- Anyone who wants a quiet place to stay: In Plaka expect crowds, Psirri is liveliest at night, and in Exarchia there are occasional riots with the police.
- Anyone landing after midnight: The last metro from the airport leaves at 23:34 (as of 13 September 2026), after which you are left with the express bus or a taxi, at night for a fixed fare of €65.
