Useful Note
from Spanish Fly:
Once you have time and are in the mood: there is a NIGHTBUS (believe it or not) from Syntagma to Kifissias Square and vice versa. The line is X14, which during the day is a connection Olympic Stadium <-> Syntagma and turns into vampire's transportation on Friday and Saturday nights.
Also VERY USEFUL I find the telephone number 185 with a 24 hours service on timetable inquires. EXCELLENT staff, very friendly, very helpful, though they are Greeks <laugh>. I did not challenge their English but still the service is worth to be mentioned. Extraordinary, exceptionally GOOD service!
Also, some might not have understood until now: there is a new ticket for public transport: for 1 Euro you get around in all busses, trollies, metro, electrico or tram within 1,5 hours. You do not need to have single tickets anymore when you change line! I did not see these tickets being available from the machines but you have to ask at the counter.
