🇬🇷 Athens Layover? Conquer the City in Half a Day! ✈️

Had to praise Athens Airport’s efficiency – 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. 🚌 Transportation: After arrival, head to Exit 5 of the airport. Buy an X95 bus ticket (€5.5 one-way) → 50min direct to downtown. 🏛️ Two Itinerary Options: 1️⃣ Get off 3 stops early → Hike up Lycabettus Hill (Wolf Hill) 🏔️ (20min walk) for stunning Acropolis views. 2️⃣ Ride to the final stop → Visit the Acropolis 🏛️. On-site tickets are available for slots 1h later. 💡 Pro tip: Book in advance on Taobao for ~¥140 (cheaper than the €30 combo ticket sold on-site, which includes less impressive ruins). 🏘️ Explore the Old Town near the Acropolis – highly recommended! Morning light: The Acropolis is backlit when viewed from the old town. Lycabettus Hill offers perfect lighting for photos 📸. #LayoverTravel #Athens #Greece #QuickTrip #TravelHacks ✈️🇬🇷✨
