How to reach your hotel from the airport
There are various options to reach the downtown hotels depending on whether you want to use public transportation or taxi.
By public transport: The blue metro line goes all the way from the airport to downtown and passes through
the Syndagma metro station (where you can connect with the red line) and the Monastiraki metro station
(where you can connect with the green line that goes towards AUEB). Please do not confuse the metro line with the
suburban railway system, which departs from the adjacent platform and is not convenient for going downtown.
The metro line takes about 35-40 minutes to Syndagma and the ticket from the airport costs 8 euros (note that a
regular metro ticket costs only 1.40 as long as you use it within the city, it is only for the airport that costs 8 euros).
The metro operates from 5:30 am till around midnight. Within the city it runs pretty frequently but the departures to/from the
airport are only every 30 minutes (normally at 5 and 35 past every hour).
Apart from the metro, and especially if you arrive late, you can also take the bus X95 which also goes to Syndagma square.
The bus departs every 15 minutes and the ticket costs 5 euros.
By taxi: During the day there is now a standard rate of 35 euros to the city center from the airport.
If you arrive past midnight, the tariff is 50 euros.
How to come to the conference venue
The conference will take place in the main building of AUEB (the Athens University of Economics and Business).
AUEB is located in the city center, and the main building is on 76 Patission st. If your hotel is not within walking
distance, the best way to come to AUEB is by using the green line and getting off at Victoria station. It is then a 5 minute walk
till the main building. There are also several buses and trolleys that stop just outside AUEB such as the buses
608, 622, A8, B8, Γ8 and the trolleys 3, 5, 11, 13, 14. In the map below you can have a better view of where the main
building of AUEB is located.
