The new Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport 27 km (17 miles) east of the city center,  near the suburb of Spáta. The airport has excellent public transit connections to the city (see below) and the usual array of food stands, duty-free shops, and other airport services.There is a Tourist information station in Arrivals that will have the latest literature put out by the Tourist Information Department; this is useful for getting information.You are going to need euro coins if you want a trolley for your luggage; trolleys are available at the airport, you will find them in the baggage hall on arrival and they use coins the same way supermarket trolleys do. You insert your coin, and you get it back by placing the trolley back to its original position.

Coaches (KTEL) connect Athens to other cities in Greece. The fleet of buses has recently been upgraded, which makes the journey pleasant and safe. For some destinations one can also use the buses of the railroad company (OSE, see next paragraph) that might be international, but can also be used for in-country transport.

The Athens Metro is more commonly known in Greece as the Attiko Metro (Greek: Αττικό Mετρό) and provides public transport throughout the Athens Urban Area. While its main purpose is transport, it also houses Greek artifacts found during construction of the system. The Athens Metro has an operating staff of 387 and runs two of the three metro lines; namely the Red (line 2) and Blue (line 3) lines, which were constructed largely during the 1990s, with the initial sections opened in January 2000. All routes run entirely underground and a fleet of 42 trains consisting of 252 cars operate within the network,with a daily occupancy of 550,000 passengers

Athens Tram SA operates a fleet of 35 vehicles  called ‘AnsaldobredaSirio’, which serve 48 stations,employ 345 people with an average daily occupancy of 65,000 passengers.The tram network spans a total length of 27 km (17 mi) and covers ten Athenian suburbs.The network runs from Syntagma Square to the southwestern suburb of PalaioFaliro, where the line splits in two branches; the first runs along the Athens coastline toward the southern suburb of Voula, while the other heads toward the Piraeusdistrict of Neo Faliro. The network covers the majority of the Saronic coastline. Further extensions are planned towards the major commercial port of Piraeus.The expansion to Piraeus will include 12 new stations, increase the overall length of tram route by 5.4 km (3 mi), and increase the overall transportation network.
