Getting to the Athens airport by 5am Sunday morning
 

Hello,

My understanding is that the Athens metro does not start until 5:30am.
I will be travelling from central Athens to the airport on a Sunday
morning to catch a 6am flight. Is taxi my only option?

Thanks in advance

Why not move to a hotel at or near the airport the night B4 your
flight. Its what we did for a 5:30AM flight out of Rome. Its a bit
more expensive, but considering the total expense of the trip, its
a drop in the bucket. This website lists the Sofitel + Holiday Inn:

Consider spending the night in the airport. I never have, but it gets
rave reviews:

The airport is served 24 hours a day by express bus routes X93, X95, X96,
and X97. A map of these bus routes can be found here:
