The airport rail will take you all the way into Athens. Just make sure you are aware of everyone around you and keep your luggage close to you. Otherwise, should be all good! I've used this before and haven't had a problem.I don't really like taking taxis...what are the public transit options like? Thanks

Very slow, but easy to use. I once took the metro from the airport to syntagma.

There is a subway and buses going to and from the airport. You can get into downtown Athens but im not too sure about other places
Rail or bus are easy, there are buses that will take you directly to Syntagma square and the rail can take you directly to join the metroI don't really like taking taxis...what are the public transit options like? Thanks

It's easy to use and most of the time, it's reliable. I've heard of people having some interesting detours. Some people that I know - one time they were taking a bus to the airport and the driver decided to take a detour to get a coffee without telling the passengers, and everyone was just sitting there on the bus . My friends were nervous they'd miss their flight. The Greeks on the bus weren't bothered and thought it was normal. Personally, I prefer either renting a car and driving myself or taking a taxi.
