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
                    
                                    
            
                
                Hi firbyfred  
 
For Athens Buses see the following link.
http://www.athensinfoguide.com/gettingaroundbus.htm
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.
