6Use Public Transport Instead of Taxis

Transportation within cities and towns can be expensive if you rely on taxis. Instead, using the metro and buses is a more budget-friendly alternative. Athens has an efficient metro system, and buses run throughout the mainland and islands at low fares.

Intercity buses, known as KTEL buses, connect major towns and are much cheaper than renting a car or taking taxis. Many Greek towns, especially on the islands, are walkable, and renting a bike can also be an affordable and enjoyable way to explore.
