How to get in Rafina
From the center of Athens:
By taxi: 60-90 minutes depending on the traffic.
By regional bus. Take the bus from Pedion tou Areos at Mavromateon Street (close to the National Archaeological Museum and Viktoria Metro Station). It will take you 1.5 hours to get to Rafina from the city center. It is 35 km and the roads through and out of Athens can get very busy. Note that Pedion tou Areos (where the buses depart from) is a considerable distance away from the sites (Syntagma, Acropolis, Plaka, Monastiraki etc) and you will need to get a taxi or public transport to get there.
Alternatively you can take the Metro or bus to the airport and then take the bus to Rafina.
