How to get from Syntagma Square to Athens Airport (Greece) on the X95 Bus, including where the bus stop is, how to buy tickets, how much it costs and the timetable.
My Aegean flight A3904 from Athens Eleftherios Venizelos Airport (Greece) to Larnaca was scheduled for 13:10. A few days before, I had taken the Athens Metro into town, which cost me 9 euros, so I decided to take the X95 bus back to the airport.
The X95 Airport Express takes about 70 minutes, depending on the traffic, which is a bit longer than the metro, but the price is much cheaper at just 5.50 Euros (April 2025).
