Best way to get from Athens to Volos?

The Question:

What is the best way to get from Athens (airport) to Volos? Can you recommend a hotel in Volos?


The Aswer:

Hey,

You have to reach the Ktel coach station located at the centre of Athens (260 Liosion str. region of Patisia). The taxi from the airport can get you there with 20E more or less depending on the traffic. The KTEL bus will take you to Volos in about 4 hours. Ticket costs 24-25E and there is one bus departing every 60-90 minutes towards Volos (first service at 6.30 am and the last one at 22.00).

About the hotel recommendation, I really can't name a hotel. It is up to you and your preferences to choose one upon arrival. There is a great deal of good hotels in Volos available in real time.

Hope I have helped you!

From Agios Constantinos to Athens

The Question:

How do I get from the port of Ag Constantinos (arriving from Skiatos) to Athens International Airport on Friday morning 29/8 10:15. I have a flight from Athens 14:30 that I must catch. The alternative is to catch an evening boat arriving 19:30 to AC but that is very bad for my planning.
Thanks for response in advance
Åke


The Answer:

Hey Ake!
So as soon as you arrive at Agios Constantinos, you need to catch the suburban bus KTEL to Athens and then you will arrive at the Liosion bus station. From there you can take the bus to the Athens International airport.
You need to keep in mind though that the bus from Agios Konstantinos will take tou approximately 2 hours and the bus from Liosion Bus Station to the airport aroun 45 minutes so you will be short in time...

How long is it from Athens International Airport to Agios Konstantinos port

The Question:

Hi Stavros:
How long is the bus trip from Athens to Agios Konstantinos (Sept 4)? Our flight arrives in Athens at 14:00 and the ferry to Skiathos is at 19:00. Do we need to be there an hour ahead of departure?Which would be faster, the bus or taxi shuttle from Athens to Agios K?
Regards,
M. Tom

The Answer:

Hello Tom!
You don't need to be an hour prior departure for the ferry. Even 15 minutes is enough. The bus from Athens Liosion station (city center) to Agios Konstantinos will take you approximately 2 to 2,5 hours but you need to also consider the time from the airport to the Liosion bus station which is 1 hour and 15 minutes if you take public means of transportation. It is certainly much faster if you take a taxi to Agios Konstantinos but it also more expensive.

From Igoumenitsa to Kifissia, Athens

The Question:

Hi!
We want to go from Bari, Italy to Igoumenitsa, Greece then on to Kifissia. Can you please tell me the cheapest/fastest way to do that?
thanks

The Answer:

Hello!
First of all, Kifissia is a suburb of Athens. As a result, you need to take a suburban bus (KTEL) from Igoumenitsa to Athens. As soon as you arrive at the Kifissos KTEL station in Athens, then there is a bus 051 that will take you to the city center and very close to the metro station of Omonoia. From the metro station of Omonoia, take the green line and take off at Kifissia station.
Hope this will be helpful to you!

From Athens to Skiathos

The Question:

I am finding it difficult to get a oneway flight from athens to skiathos in August, what would be the quickest, easiest(& cheapest)way to travel??Please help!!!Thank you!:)

The Answer:

Hello!
Unfortunately the only airline flying to Skiathos from Athens is Olympic Airways and the plane going to Skiathos has a capacity of 30 persons. As a result, flights are always fully booked months in advance, especially for August which is the busiest month of the summer. The only way to reach Skiathos is by reaching either by car or by bus the port of Agios Constantinos and then take the highspeed ferry to Skiathos. The ferry route is approximately 2 hours long. If this is possible for you, then renting a car would be the finest solution, otherwise the bus from the Liosion Suburban Bus Station in Athens will take you to Agios Constantinos in 2.5 hours.

Travelling to Skiathos by Bus and Ferry

The Question:

Hi there,
I need to get from Athens to Skiathos and back again, but I am having trouble finding flights - is there any other way you can reccomend?
Thanks
Bronwyn

The Answer:

Thank you for asking me stuff!
So, there is actually a flight connection between Athens and Skiathos but unfotunately there is only one flight per day and airplanes have approximately 40 seats capacity which means that everything is fully booked two months in advance.
You can also reach Skiathos by bus and ferry. You can take the suburban bus KTEL from the Athens central bus station under the name "KTEL Liosion", which can easily be reached as I mention in aprevious answer of mine, and head to Volos or Agios Constantinos. Both cities have ports from where ferries to Skiathos depart daily and with more than 3 itineraries per day and no availability problems in general.
I hope this has worked for you!

Transportation to and from Volos

The Question:

Best way to get to port of pireaus from volos?
Best way to get from Athens international airport to Volos?

The Answer:

Thank you for the question!
So, if you are already in Volos, then you need to take the suburban bus (KTEL) which will take you to Athens. As soon as the bus arrives in Athens you will be at the Liosion Suburban Bus Station (KTEL Liosion). From there you can take a bus that goes straight to the metro (green line) and the station's name is "Kato Patisia". By using the metro and taking off at Piraeus (last station) you will have arrives right outside the port of Piraeus.
From the Athens International Airport it is better to take the metro (blue line) and change at Monastiraki to the green line and then take off at Kato Patisia station. From there you can take a bus that will take you to the Liosion Suburban Bus Station (KTEL Liosion) and from there take the suburban bus to Volos.
There are more than one bus lines that can take you from the Kato Patisia station to the Liosion Suburban Bus station. It is better check the bus itineraries first before boarding on one or just ask at the metro station!
I hope this has helped you!
