Athens By Bus

Yellow KTEL buses leave from Terminals A and B, Mvromateon 29, and Pl. Eleftherias, and travel all over the Attic peninsula. Check schedules at Terminal A (☎210 51 24 910 h M-Sa 5am-11:30pm, Su 5:30am-11:30pm.) or B. (☎210 83 17 153 h M-Sa 5am-11:30pm, Su 5:30am-11:30pm.) Certain buses like the X95 from Syntagma to El. Venizelou airport, the X96 from Piraeus to El. Venizelou airport, and #40 from Piraeus to Syntagma run 24hr. Buy KTEL bus tickets on board or in the terminal. The other buses frequently visible around Athens and its suburbs are blue, designated by 3-digit numbers. Both are good for travel throughout the city and ideal for daytrips to Daphni and Kesariani, the northern suburbs, Glyfada and the coast, and other destinations in the greater Athens area. The Metro stations' and tourist offices' maps of Athens label all of the most frequented routes.
