- Suburban Railway (Proastiakos): Connects the airport to the Athens Central Railway Station (Larissis Station) and the Port of Piraeus.

- Express Buses: Four 24/7 express bus routes connect the airport to key city locations. The most popular are the X95 to Syntagma Square (city center) and the X96 to Piraeus Port.
