π¬π· Athens Layover? Conquer the City in Half a Day! βοΈ
Had to praise Athens Airportβs efficiency β from landing to sitting at the gate in just 20min! With a layover of 5h+, you have plenty of time for a city walk downtown. π Transportation: After arrival, head to Exit 5 of the airport. Buy an X95 bus ticket (β¬5.5 one-way) β 50min direct to downtown. ποΈ Two Itinerary Options: 1οΈβ£ Get off 3 stops early β Hike up Lycabettus Hill (Wolf Hill) ποΈ (20min walk) for stunning Acropolis views. 2οΈβ£ Ride to the final stop β Visit the Acropolis ποΈ. On-site tickets are available for slots 1h later. π‘ Pro tip: Book in advance on Taobao for ~Β₯140 (cheaper than the β¬30 combo ticket sold on-site, which includes less impressive ruins). ποΈ Explore the Old Town near the Acropolis β highly recommended! Morning light: The Acropolis is backlit when viewed from the old town. Lycabettus Hill offers perfect lighting for photos πΈ. #LayoverTravel #Athens #Greece #QuickTrip #TravelHacks βοΈπ¬π·β¨
