    Beach

    The recommend route of public transport from the home is to take the Metro Red Line from Sygrou Fix station to Elliniko station (15 minutes), and then take a taxi (more tourist friendly than bus) to the actual beach itself (time dependant on beach).

     

    Depending on the beach you wish to visit, the entire journey can cost anywhere from €7-10.

     

    For a more scenic option of transport, trams can also be accessed from Elliniko to reach the beaches (details found in Public Transport section).
