Rare ski ww Posted September 6, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Does any one know if the Athens Gate Hotel has a shuttle from the airport to the hotel, thanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted September 6, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2021 When I stayed there (twice) they did not have a shuttle. I don't think shuttles are common among independent (e.g., not chain-affiliated) hotels. Taxis are plentiful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phabric Posted September 7, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 7, 2021 No shuttle. I booked Welcome Pickup for airport to hotel and hotel to ship. Both times drivers were on time, and clean cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkr2 Posted September 12, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 12, 2021 No but the train was super easy and was 22 per person . Then a straight 5 minute walk . Or taxi for 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare marazul Posted September 12, 2021 #5 Share Posted September 12, 2021 The taxi from the airport to anywhere in central Athens is 35 euros in daytime, 45 at night. Per ride, not per person. There is a taxi line with a big sign stating the prices right outside the arrivals level. IIRC, it starts by exit 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ski ww Posted September 13, 2021 Author #6 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Thanks for all the ideas on how to get into town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbeard1 Posted September 21, 2021 #7 Share Posted September 21, 2021 We booked with CatTaxi. Highly recommend. Taxis in Greece are known for scamming tourists with higher prices. It should be around 35 euros from airport to downtown. catTaxi offered discount when booking round trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What We Found Travelling Posted September 26, 2021 #8 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Our hotel Electra Palace booked a taxi to take my wife & I to the airport at 7AM. They told me it will cost 35 euros. I was watching the meter tick over & when we stopped at the airport it was 28 euros, I thought good, I’ll give 30 euros, hence, a 2 euro tip. As soon as he turned the taxi off, he pressed various buttons on the meter & the price jumped up to 52 euros. I asked him why is the fare so expensive as the hotel told me 35 euros, he told me I had to pay for toll roads, airport entry fee & for 2 extra large suitcases. I told him the suitcases aren’t extra large, to open up the boot & we’ll check the sizes. As soon as the boot opened I pulled out the suitcases & then reluctantly gave him 40 euros. He complained as he was 12 euros short & I said why don’t you call the police… I then shouted out to my wife “call the police” the driver then jumped in his taxi & sped away. Moral of the story, always confirm the price before you put your bags in any taxi, there’s never a cheap taxi in a big city like Athens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The driver was waiting at the airport with a sign and a different driver was on time at hotel pick up. Both cars were clean.🇨🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed there 2 weeks ago. No shuttle. We prebooked through CatTaxi - would highly recommend. They were waiting with our names outside baggage claim. Cheaper than a regular taxi if you book round trip. Very responsive to questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
