Buses and Trolleys

Pireas, Athens and its outkirts are linked by a web of bus and trolley lines, and you can get maps of these lines at the Greek National Tourist Organization as well as specific verbal info on major routes as to which "number" bus or trolley to take for your destination.

Bus and trolley tickets are 0.45 Euro each and can be purchased at special booths and kiosks near the bus stops. Once you are on the bus or trolley, validate your ticket by asserting it into one of the meters for that purpose; the ticket will be punched and dated. Then keep the ticket until you leave the bus, since it's not uncommon to have a ticket-checker to check their validity (if you are found that you haven't punched your tickets, you're required to pay around 15 - 25 Euro.

There are serveral major bus terminals for destinations outside central Athens; at the Zappeion, for instance, buses go south to Glyfada, Voula, Vouliagmeni and Varkiza. Many buses leave from the huge bus stop at Academias and Sina Strs to the northern suburbs of Halandri, Psyhiko, Maroussi and Kifissia. All buses have their route number and destination on the front.
