How to Get from ATH to Piraeus

The Alex Monte Kastella Santikos Collection is at 109 Alexandrou Papanastasiou Avenue, Piraeus, 18533, Greece. Piraeus is the destination for all three direct public-transport services from the airport, but their published journey times end in Piraeus rather than at the hotel’s street address.

For neighbourhood context once you arrive, the Kastella neighbourhood guide covers the area around the hotel.

Athens International Airport identifies three direct public-transport connections to Piraeus. Metro Line 3 runs to Dimotiko Theatro, while the suburban railway and X96 express bus also connect the airport with Piraeus.

• Metro Line 3: an estimated 60 minutes from the airport to Piraeus.
• Suburban railway: an estimated 65 minutes; the route passes through Athens railway station, also called Larissis Station.
• X96 express bus: an estimated 90 minutes between the airport and Piraeus.

These are airport-to-Piraeus estimates, not travel times to a specific address. If you choose the metro, note that the airport describes Line 3, or the Blue Line, as connecting the airport with Piraeus at Dimotiko Theatro.

Choose a service by matching its route and estimated journey time to your arrival plans. The suburban railway passes through Larissis Station, while the metro and X96 are also direct connections; the airport refers passengers to operator information for schedules and service details.

For the metro, STASY gives the first airport-bound train from Piraeus as 05:31 and the last as 22:55, with airport service every 36 minutes. In the other direction, the first train from Athens Airport toward Piraeus is 06:10 and the last is 23:34; airport trains also run every 36 minutes.

Saturday’s 24-hour metro service on Lines 2 and 3 excludes routes to and from the airport. For bus information, the airport points passengers to OASA Telematics; 11185 is the OASA information number. For suburban railway schedules, tickets and connections, it gives 14511 or the railway operator’s information service.

A car journey is another way to travel from the airport to Piraeus. Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport is about 37 minutes by car from a hotel in Piraeus, according to the hotel’s route information. That figure is a hotel-to-airport drive estimate, not a public-transport time or a guaranteed airport-to-hotel journey duration.

If you arrange a car, keep the hotel’s full address handy: 109 Alexandrou Papanastasiou Avenue, Piraeus, 18533, Greece. The airport’s published connection times for public transport do not give a time to this street address.

Use the published journey time as a guide to the trip to Piraeus, then allow for any onward travel. The airport estimates 60 minutes by Metro Line 3, 65 minutes by suburban railway and 90 minutes by X96; those estimates cover travel to Piraeus, not any onward journey.

Before settling on a departure, check the service information for the option you plan to use. The airport directs passengers to OASA Telematics for bus details and provides operator information for the suburban railway.

Once you reach Piraeus, use the hotel’s street address to plan the final leg. The airport’s journey estimates end in Piraeus, so they should not be treated as door-to-door times. The hotel gives a driving route from Piraeus Port via Akti Miaouli, Akti Moutsopoulou and Akti Koumoundourou, followed by turns onto Kassandras and Alexandrou Papanastasiou Avenue.

Before you go: Service times and schedules can change, so check the official site before you go. Use the Athens International Airport and relevant transport operator information for current details.
