Private Transfers to Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso from Athens Airport & Ports

Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso in Vouliagmeni on the Athenian Riviera

Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso is in Vouliagmeni, on the Athenian Riviera, about 25 km south of Athens. It’s far enough from the city to feel like a genuine coastal escape, but that distance means transport from the airport or ports needs some thought. Van Taxi Transfer runs private Mercedes Benz minivans on all three routes at a fixed price. Book before you travel and your driver will be waiting when you arrive.

Why book a private transfer to Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso

Getting from Athens Airport to Vouliagmeni by public transport means a metro to the city center and then a bus south. This is manageable, but not ideal after a long flight, especially with luggage. From Piraeus or Rafina, the connections are more complicated.

A private transfer is different. The fare is agreed before you travel, your driver meets you at arrivals and the ride to the hotel is direct and private. If your flight or ferry is delayed, we track the updated arrival time and adjust accordingly. You don’t need to call.

Fixed transfer cost
