Taxis from Athens International Airport operate around the clock with fixed fares into central Athens, including the area around the Temple of Zeus and Athanasiou Diakou Street. They are a familiar option and often work perfectly well, but a few practical considerations are worth keeping in mind.
Queues at the airport taxi rank during busy arrival periods can stretch considerably, and there is no flight monitoring, no driver assigned to your specific arrival, and no guarantee on vehicle quality. For guests checking into a five-star hotel directly beneath the Acropolis, starting the trip with a queue and an uncertain ride sets the wrong tone entirely.
