Buses
You can easily navigate the territory of Greece on intercity buses KTEL. The only problem that you can face here is that the personnel serving these buses almost do not know English. In that case, ask someone to help you: young people in Greece, for the most part, speak good English. Plan the travel route in advance on the bus operator's website.
On the road, the intercity bus stops, so that passengers can eat and rest; The bus driver often brings passengers to an expensive restaurant of his friend (and gets a percentage of the proceeds), so it's better to take food with you. And keep in mind that at the time of stopping the door to the bus will be closed.
With the schedule of Athenian city buses you can find on the official website - www.oasa.gr.
Ferries and Boats
Between the islands and the continental part of the country there is both air and water communication. When choosing a trip on the water, you should count on your time: often the ferry stops on several small islands before arriving at the main port. If you want to save time, use the services of "flying dolphins": they are high-speed closed boats that run between islands.
Parking the car on a ferry for a tourist can be an episode that will spoil the mood for the whole day. The fact is that in Greece it is accepted to park cars very close to each other, and therefore it is almost impossible to get out of a parked car: the doors are blocked, and there is only one way - through the window.
Metro
The Athenian metro resembles a museum: during its construction, the workers worked hand in hand with archaeologists, constantly finding new artifacts. Now these archaeological finds or their copies are on public display in metro lobbies.
Despite the fact that the metro in Athens is relatively young (it was launched in 2000), it has already proved itself as a reliable mode of transport (although it does not cover all areas of the city). Tickets for the Athens Metro give the right to travel on other public transport and operate within 90 minutes from the time you put a stamp in a special car at the entrance to the metro. The site of the Athens Metro - www.ametro.gr.
Taxi
All Greek taxis are equipped with counters. Tipping to taxi drivers is not accepted. If you take a taxi to other passengers (a popular practice in Greece), then you pay only for the distance that you actually traveled. The main thing is to make sure beforehand that you are on the way with the rest of the passengers not to skate around the city (and, accordingly, not to pay for it later). You can catch a taxi on the road, waving your hand, or ask the local where the nearest "taxi piasta" (Greek "taxi rank") is
Donkeys
Greek islanders prefer to navigate through narrow, sharply uplooking streets on donkeys. Riding on a donkey is also an attraction for tourists.
