Bus X95: Syntagma Square to Athens Airport (Greece)
Posted: April 15, 2025
How to get from Syntagma Square to Athens Airport (Greece) on the X95 Bus.
My Aegean flight A3904 from Athens Eleftherios Venizelos Airport (Greece) to Larnaca was at 13:10. Some days before, I had taken the Athens Metro into town, which cost me 9 euros, so I decided to take the X95 bus back.
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).
