ATHENS Alimos- Kalamaki Marina:

The Athens Eleftherios Venizelos
international airport is about 33km (approx. 20.50 miles) away from
Athens centre, 45km (approx. 28 miles) from Piraeus port and 35km (approx. 22
miles) from Alimos marina. (Actual driving time may be greater during heavy
traffic times)
There are 3 ways to reach Alimos marina:
1. The
public bus which will take you directly outside the marina (the bus stop is
called EDEM). The bus name is X96 and it runs round-the-clock every 20 minutes.
Travel time is about 90 minutes (depending on the traffic) and the ticket costs
Euro 3.20 and can be purchased outside the airport main hall (you exit the
building and go towards the que line for the taxi’s and buses and you will see
the ticket counter. Ask the bus driver to alert you to your stop which will be
on the opposite side of the street of the marina and happens to be in front of
the supermarket). There is some walking involved to get into the marina so be
prepared with wheeled luggage!
 2. The metro (subway) that will take you to
Syntagma Square (Athens centre). From there, you can get the Tram Line to
Alimos marina (EDEM stop). The metro runs every 30 minutes from 05.30 to 00.20
on a daily basis. The ticket costs Euro 6 (with a further discount of Euro 1 for
up to 3 people) which also covers the change to the Tram line. So no need to
purchase a new ticket. For more information on timetables, you may visit
http://www.amel.gr ( the marina entrance is a short walk on the sea side
as you exit the tram- walk towards the gas station and this is the extrance to
the marina.. There is a kiosk and tavernas for lunch and the supermarket is
across the street.)
3. Taking a taxi is definitely the quickest and easiest way
to reach Alimos marina. Just outside the airport’s main hall, there are plenty
of taxis waiting. Depending on the traffic, it is approx. a 45-minute drive and
it will cost about Euro 40–45 (luggage included).
A pre-arranged transfer at a small extra cost can also be
arranged for groups of all sizes. A taxi can accommodate at most 4 people while
vans can accommodate any size groups.
