Athens is swarming with yellow taxis. Compared to other international cities, the taxi rates in Athens are still pretty cheap but you should always request a receipt for the amount paid. Don’t be surprised if you end up sharing your cab with another traveller heading in the same direction as you – it’s common practice here. The minimum taxi fare is €3,20, the price per km is €0,68 and it doubles between midnight and 05:00 am. The Ministry of Transport has fixed the fare to Eleftherios Venizelos Airport at €35 (or €50 from 24:00 to 05:00), including luggage, VAT and tolls. Below are telephone numbers to order a taxi. All of them, with the exception of Planet and Pireas 1, charge €2-3 on top of the fare:
