Private Transfers to Elia Ermou Athens Hotel from Airport & Ports

Elia Ermou Athens Hotel in central Athens near Syntagma Square

Elia Ermou Athens Hotel is located on Ermou Street, one of the most central and popular streets in Athens, close to shopping, restaurants, museums, nightlife, business areas and historical landmarks. Guests who want to stay in the heart of the city, with most of what Athens offers within walking distance, find it a well placed base. Ermou Street itself is a pedestrian zone, which limits vehicle access and makes the final stretch with luggage more involved than it would be at a typical hotel address. A pre booked private transfer handles that directly, with drop off at the nearest point to the entrance and help with bags from the driver.

Van Taxi Transfer runs fixed price minivan transfers from Athens Airport and the ports of Piraeus, Lavrio and Rafina to Elia Ermou Athens Hotel.

Why a Private Transfer to Elia Ermou Athens Hotel?

Elia Ermou Athens Hotel is in the heart of Athens, close to Syntagma, Ermou shopping street, Plaka and Monastiraki. Public transport is available in the city centre, but it can involve walking, connections, waiting time and difficulty with luggage, especially after a long flight or ferry journey. Ermou Street is also a pedestrian zone, which means arriving by taxi or metro still leaves guests to manage their bags on foot for part of the way.

With a private transfer, the cost is fixed before you travel, the driver meets you on arrival, and the route goes direct to the closest permitted drop-off point for the hotel. The Mercedes minivans carry up to eight passengers, with air conditioning and complimentary WiFi on board. For groups of three or more, a minivan transfer often works out at a similar cost per person to a standard taxi, with considerably more space for luggage.

Fixed transfer cost

The price is set before you travel, so there are no surprises on arrival and no need to organise onward transport once you land or dock.
