Transport times from Athens to Volos and Accommodation Tips in Athens

The Question:

Hi Stavros
I arrive at Athens airport at 20.50 on 10th September. I spend the following day in Athens seeing the sights. I travel to Volos on the 12th. I need decent, basic accomodation on the 10th and the 11th. The hotel near the airport is far too expensive. Could you help with transport times and accomodation?
kind regards
Vincent

The central bus station for buses departing to Volos is the Liosion Bus station and the phone number is +30 210 8317153 and the train station to Volos is called Stathmos Larissis and the phone number is +30 210 5297777.
