Private Transfers to The Stanley Athens from Airport & Ports

The Stanley Athens is a four star hotel located at Karaiskaki Square in the centre of Athens, close to the Metaxourgeio metro station. Renovated in 2018 and holding the Green Key environmental certification, the hotel sits within easy reach of major Athens landmarks including the Acropolis, Thiseio, Plaka, Syntagma Square, and Ermou Street. Its central location makes it a practical base for leisure stays, business trips, and sightseeing.

Arriving from the airport or one of the ports with luggage is a different matter. Even with good metro access, navigating the city with bags and after a long journey is easier with a direct, pre arranged transfer.

Van Taxi Transfer runs fixed price minivan transfers from Athens Airport and the ports of Piraeus, Lavrio, and Rafina directly to The Stanley Athens.

Why a Private Transfer to The Stanley Athens?

A private transfer removes the logistical challenges of arriving in Athens with luggage. This is especially relevant for guests arriving late at night or very early in the morning, families travelling with children, business travelers on tight schedules, and cruise passengers who need to reach the hotel quickly between port and ship.

With a private minivan transfer, the price is agreed before you travel, your driver meets you on arrival with a name sign, and the route goes directly to the hotel without stops or detours.

Fixed transfer cost

The price is set before you travel, so there are no surprises on arrival and no need to arrange transport after a long flight or ferry journey.
