Car Hire Attikis - Mini guide to Attikis

Attikis is a neighbourhood in Athens situated four miles north of the city's major attractions. It is synonymous with a railway station by the same name that first opened in the 19th century. Travellers with car hire in Attikis enjoy quick access to Athens' most iconic ruins.

The most prominent landmark in Attikis is Dikastirion Park at the intersection of Alexandras and Eikostis Ogdois Oktovriou avenues. The railway station occupies the westernmost edge of the park and still serves the metropolitan area to this day. Most of the traffic has moved underground to the metro platforms added in 2000 in anticipation of the Olympic Games.

There are several routes to the city centre for those with cheap car hire in Attikis. The fastest is Eleftherious Venizelou, which takes around 15 minutes to drive. This route is also served by the metro, which is another convenient transport option. Visitors will find that a hire is a convenience in the city centre but is essential for exploring the countryside.

Hotels are found throughout the entire neighbourhood. Options around the metro terminal are basic and mid-range, while those that appear to the south in proximity to the Acropolis and Parthenon are upscale options with a view.

Athens International Airport is a little over 20 miles to the east and can be reached with car rental in Attikis in about 30 minutes. This is the major gate of entry for visitors in Greece, with transportation links to the countryside as well as to the Greek Island.
