There is a new port bus, into duce last year. We were on Equinox and the bus stop was operate the ship, in the port area.

 

Costs only 4 euro for a day pass, purchased from the kiosk at the stop. The ticket also includes all buses and metro in Athens for the day

 

The train is about 30 minute walk from the ship and takes you into placa area beneath the acropolis, we we use the bus gain when in Athens this year

 

Just FYI, the X80 bus you talk about is not available year-round. I still bought an all day pass and took a regular bus about 3-4 stops to the Metro, then the train to the Acropolis.

Miaminice,

 

It also depends on which pier the ship is at. Last year on Equnox, we were not docked in the pier that you are showing in your photo. We were much further around, at the very far end of the port. It took us a good 40 minutes to walk to the ferry terminal from where we were docked. Another ship (think it was NCL :confused:) was already berthed in the pier shown in your photo, which was probably 15 minutes from Equinox ;). Unsure if the bus came to the far pier?

 

We were on the same cruise as yourself, the picture above is from the far pier, we walked 2 minutes from the ship to the bus stop and caught the bus into town, no need to walk to the train anymore. The bus also stops at the other pier, but on the road out side the gate on the main road. It not obvious as the stop is on the wrong side of the road. That is because the bus turns around and then returns on the oposite side.

If we were not already on the bus we would not have known.
