Take the Metro to Monastiraki station, which is served by lines 1 and 3. From there, follow the walking directions above. A single metro ticket costs €1.40 and is valid for 90 minutes on all public transport (excluding airport routes). A day pass costs €4.50.

Taxi

Taxis are readily available throughout Athens. Ask to be dropped off at the perimeter of Psiri, as the interior streets are narrow and often congested.
