New Bus to Link Cruise Ship Terminal in Piraeus to City Centre Sights

A new cyclical express bus route from the port of Piraeus, Greece to the Acropolis Museum and Syntagma, the X80, is to begin on Monday. The new bus route is estimated to make the trip from Piraeus to the centre of Athens in 30 minutes, linking the cruise ship terminal at Piraeus with the city’s chief sight-seeing destinations for tourists. Passengers will be able to travel quickly and conveniently from Piraeus to the Acropolis and Syntagma, either with a daily travel card offering unlimited travel on all public transport for 4 euros, or with the three-day tourist travel card costing 20 euros that again gives unlimited travel on all public transport and also includes trips to and from Athens International Airport. The new bus route will run every day of the week, starting at 7 a.m. from Xaveri Coast, with buses departing every half hour until 9:30 in the evening. The round trip will cover a distance of about 25 kilometres and make 11 stops along the way at the following locations: X80 Terminal, Piraeus Port Organisation (OLP), Piraeus Town Centre, Syggrou-Fix metro station, Akropolis (at 6 Sygrou Avenue), Syntagma (on Syntagma Square), Piraeus Town Centre to Piraeus, Piraeus Town Centre to Terminal, OLP to Terminal, Terminal.
