Athens - left luggage in the centre?

[karenbeanpole]

We arrive in Pireaus in the morning and our flight isn't till the evening. Don't want to go to the airport till we have to, but need to put our luggage somewhere during the day. Does anyone know

1. how to get from Pireaus to Athens cheaply with luggage

2. where to store luggage in Athens

3. cheap way to get from there to the airport

4. what there is to do in a few hours in Athens if we have seen the Acropolis already

 

Thanks in advance.

1. You can get a taxi to Piraeus metro station (green line - cost 5-6 euro) and next go to Monastiraki with train.

 

2. In Monastiraki station has luggage lockers (I don't know the cost)

 

3. You can use the metro (blue line from Monastiraki) for going to Airport (8 euro per person)

 

4. You can visit National Archaeological Museum (metro green line from Monastiraki to Victoria's square)

Thanks for your help.

Do you know if I should get a day pass or something for the metro? Or should we just buy each journey as we go along?

The simple metro ticket (for all metro lines except airport line) cost 1.40 euro and is valid for 90 minutes.

 

There is and a 4 euro ticket and is valid for 24 hours (for all metro lines except airport line too).

 

These tickets are valid for local buses and trolley lines too.

Just had a change of plans - any idea how much it would cost by taxi to go all the way from the port to Athens centre?
