A flight to Athens will be the most convient airport to arrive regardless of where you are coming from. We suggest a taxi ride or car rental from the Airport to Athens Central or Kineta. Megara is the town were we suggest you stay during our wedding weekend. It is the closest town to both the ceremony and reception venue. To maximize your trip experience to beautiful Greece we strongly recommend you add on a few days (with hotel stay) of exploring and sight seeing in Athens City either at the beginning or end of your trip.

Taxi & Beat App Information

Taxis is a very popular way of getting around in Athens. Even though they are more expensive than the means of public transportation, they’re quite cheaper compared to other countries. Therefore, local people often use taxis especially for short distances and after midnight when most buses and the metro stop operating. Aside from the routes to and from the airport that have a fixed price, the price for every other taxi ride is calculated with a taximeter. The starting price is 1,19€ and the minimum price you have to pay for a ride is 3,50€ no matter the distance. Beat is the most popular taxi app in Athens at the moment. All you have to do is download the app, enter your location and the desired destination and a taxi will be at your door in no time. You can pay either in cash or with a credit card and until recently you could even choose the driver you prefer based on their reviews, car type, and proximity to your location.
