Following a couple of topics I posted on here earlier this year I have finally booked our flights into Athens airport to get to Aegina. As it is nearly 20 year since we were last in Athens, I was surprised to find out that they have build a new airport further out of the city. It was mentioned that the bus fare to Pireaus was about 3/4 euros was this the fare from the new airport?
Our flight gets in late afternoon and I can't find the latest boat timetables from Piraeus at the moment can anyone recommend a good cheap hotel/ B&B on the bus route between the airport and Piraeus for 1 night ?
Many Thanks
For Athens Buses see the following link.

The 1st paragraph on the page gives info for the Express service Athens international to The Port of Piraeus page states service is 24hrs a day and cost is €3.20. Timetable there as well.
I don't personally recommend any of the following but, Athens info guide has several Hotels listed for Piraeus on their site. I've linked to 2 star below but they go up to 5 star...
Athens Info Guide pages are also updated so you know the information is fairly current 2009..

On the GoGreece Greece for Visitors forum there's a post that matches your B&B question and a reply..

I've been on Greece for Visitors site and forum many years and they are generally very helpful. A little slow sometimes to answer questions as normally people who ask there require specific first hand replies. But it is a valuable mine of information for all things Greek.. Spelling on Piraeus i think is hampering any searches there as it doesn't return any answers but, i know there are quite a few Piraeus subjects on the boards.
Finally a Map of the hotels around the Port.
Piraeus Harbour Hotels
The reason i often link to google maps is that it has reviews If you find a hotel and want reviews / recommendations use this link and in the pop box "Search Nearby" for the Hotel and look over the reviews.
