Athens By Bus

Athens has 4 bus terminals, two of which serve the regional bus line and two of which serve the suburban bus lines. Check regional schedules (☎210 51 14 505) or suburban schedules ( www.ktelattikis.gr).

Terminal A is located at Kifissou 100 (☎210 51 24 910). Take blue bus #051 ( $ €1. h Every 15min. 5am-midnight.) from the corner of Zinonos and Menandrou near Pl. Omonia. Don't mistake the private travel agency at Terminal A for an information booth. Buses from here run to various regional destinations; ask at information booth for schedule.

Terminal B is at Liossion 260 (☎210 83 17 153). Take blue bus #024 from Pl. Syntagma on the National Garden side of Amalias, or from Panepistimiou ( $ €1. h 45min., every 20min. 5:10am-11:40pm.) Buses to Delphi leave from here.
