Bus X80 Piraeus port to the Acropolis

Arrive in July and looking to take the bus to the Acropolis I think we might dock in A dock is the bus stop close by and easily recognised?

Hello, we did this in 2014 & found the process quite easy. Idk which dock we were at, but there is a ticket stand towards the far left (while facing the main boukevard) as you depart the terminal. there is a full thread on the X80, do a forum search here & you'll find lots of answers. it's gone up to 4 E & thats roundtrip express to Acropolis. we got first bus & beat tge crowds to Acropolis. IT was so much easier tgan the train whivh is a LONG walk to find. We had no trouble getting the bus back after a visit to Acropolis museum. The stop was just down the block by the Temple of Zeus. The bus is seasonal so check that other thread. Have fun. Sorry about typos; iPad acting up!

Hi

Did you get the bus really early in the morning, like 8AM? Because I understand that the queues to buy tickets to Acropolis can be horrendous.

If your on the Royal then you will dock at gate E12 or terminal B which is the farthest out but easiest to find and get on the X80 bus. The bus starts running at 7 and will get you to the acropolis before any of the tours. By being on the first bus you'll beat the crowds and see the soldiers marching and raising the flag at the top. The day pass can also be used on the metro to go up to the archeological museum.

We took the X80 on June 17th. Real easy to find outside of terminal B. Right next to the taxi stand. There is an attendant in the booth selling tickets. 4.50 Euros. We were on the bus at 7:35 and at the Acropolis ticket stand for 8am. The bus drop off is 1 block from the south entrance near Haydrian's(sp) Arch. The return to ship is X80 bus stop is across the street on the Acroplis side of the main road. Real easy to find. We were 4 on the bus going to downtown and 4 on the return at 4pm.

Just as an FYI, you can catch the X80 bus and they will drop you off at the X95 stop near the port to get to the airport. 10.50 euros each.

Yes, we got the first bus about 8 or 830 am. I don't recall any lines because we got to Acropolis early.

If there ARE lines at the Acropolis, you could get your ticket at the Temple Of Zeus/Hadrians Arch where the bus drops you off. They sell the 2 part ticket there (good for entry both places) & there were no lines when we did this previously.

Bus stop in Athens right outside the gate.

When finished visiting the Acropolis is it easy to walk to Plaka area and syntagma Square or just take the bus from where you got off

Thanks
