FROM ATHENS AIRPORT (OR ATHENS) TO NAFPLIO
BY BUS
You can take a bus to Terminal A / Stathmos Kiffisos in Athens and from there another bus to Nafplio.
Bus number X93 runs from just outside El. Venizelos airport’s arrival hall to Stathmos Kiffisos. Buy tickets at the airport before entering. The trip lasts somewhere between a half and one hour, depending on traffic. Price approx 5 Euros.
If you’re already in Athens, bus No. 051 from the intersection Zinonos and Menandrou Streets, south of Omonia, will bring you to Stathmos Kiffisos.
Taxi from the centre normally costs between 5 and 15 Euros, depending on where the taxi picks you up.
A different route is to take the Metro from the airport (line 3, the blue one), arrive at Elaionas (18 stops), and then take bus 052 outside the metro station. Ride one stop, and you will reach Kifissos bus station (google maps can give you a precise time of arrival and you can plan accordingly).
Stathmos Kiffisos is a major bus terminal. Find the sign that says Nafplio / Argolida, and buy your tickets there. The buses go hourly on the half hour from morning to evening (some exceptions). The journey takes two to two hours and 20 min., going via Corinth / Isthmos and Argos. Nafplio is the terminus. Price approx. 13 Euros. Discount if buying return ticket tour. Book your bus tickets to Nafplio online.
BY TAXI
The simplest – and cheapest – is to get the hotel you will stay in Nafplio to pre-book a taxi for you, or contact greek-taxi.gr. A taxi trip costs approximately 150 euros, and lasts a bit over one and a half hour.
BY TRAIN
It is possible to take the “Proastiakos” train from the airport to Corinth, but the train from Corinth to Nafplio is suspended at the time of writing. Yet, it will be cheaper to take a train to Corinth and taxi from there, than to use a taxi all the way from the airport. Ask the hotel you are staying in Nafplio to book a taxi for you.
BY CAR
If you rent a car at the airport, it’s easy to find the way to Nafplio. From the airport you drive directly onto the motorway and follow the signs first to Elefsina, then Corinth, and finally the signs say Nafplio. The road is generally very good, except for a short distance between Corinth and Nafplio which is fairly narrow and winding. Calculate two hours if you keep the speed limit. And you do, don’t you!
