Station for the ticket collection and the meeting point in on the same line. €22 for a 3 day tourist card that gives you access all areas including buses and trains (I think)
Pretty much like the London tube to use.

I think I read that metro from Airport to the centre costs 10 Euros each way. Can anyone confirm this to be true because if it is then a 3 day pass ,even if not staying 3 days, seems the way forward.

I read the same. 6 euros for the bus. If you're going right into the centre syntagma square area from the airport then the bus ends there as well as the metro. If you're money conscious and don't use the metro whilst there then you can save a tenner using the bus, which also run 24 hours a day

Meanwhile back at home, for those not fortunate enough to be in Athens. A little something to raise a smile -
Horse Botherers 0-2 Reading - half time.

Be aware that the metro closes around midnight as I've just found out after an hour and a half walk back to hotel from James Joyce. Good job I'd had a few to numb the pain from my flip flops

There was about 100 of us, good atmosphere, locals friendly, sang a few songs and drank a few drinks, happy times indeed.

Plenty of Clarets drinking in the bars next to the hotel ticket collection.

Took the metro down to the stadium. Omonia to Faliro... 15 mins. Excellent.

The station is adjacent to the stadium with walkway from one to the other.

Brilliant!
