Psyrri area guide

Getting to Psyrri

Psyrri lies between two Line 1 stations: Monastiraki, about 300 m from Iroon Square and also on Line 3, and Thissio, about 450 m away. From the airport, Line 3 reaches Monastiraki in about 42 minutes with a €9 ticket. Check STASY's current Line 3 timetable before an evening airport trip. Its dated works notice covered 11–15 and 18–22 October 2026, when late direct trains were curtailed and the temporary X20 linked Ambelokipi with Halandri. Do not plan around X20 or the 21:06/21:10 last-through times without a current operator notice. The X95 from Syntagma is an all-night alternative.
