The Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens sits on its own private peninsula in Vouliagmeni, approximately 25 km south of Athens International Airport. This guide covers every transfer option — taxi, private transfer, public transport — with accurate 2026 prices and times.

Four Seasons Astir Palace: Location & Transfer Overview

Address: 40 Apollonos Street, Vouliagmeni, 16671. The property is set within a 30-hectare pine-forested estate. It is not on any airport bus route and is not accessible via metro. Your realistic options are taxi, private transfer, or rental car.

Option 1: Private Transfer (Recommended)

A pre-booked private transfer is the most seamless option for arriving at the Four Seasons Astir Palace. Your driver meets you in Arrivals with a name board, handles your luggage, and delivers you directly to the hotel entrance — with the price agreed before you travel.

For a property of this calibre, the €10–€15 premium over a metered taxi is negligible. Welcome Pickups is the most reliable operator for this route, with English-speaking drivers and 24/7 support.

Option 2: Metered Taxi from Athens Airport

Taxis to Vouliagmeni are always metered — the fixed city centre rate does not apply to this area. From the official taxi rank outside Arrivals, expect to pay €60–€80 depending on traffic and exact time of day. The night surcharge (midnight to 5am) adds approximately 30% to the fare.

Important: do not accept rides from drivers who approach you inside the terminal. Use only the official yellow taxi rank. Ask the driver to confirm the route before setting off.

Option 3: Rental Car

If you plan to explore the Athenian Riviera during your stay, a rental car is worth considering. All major rental companies operate desks in the Arrivals hall at Athens airport. The drive to Vouliagmeni is straightforward — follow signs to Varkiza/Vouliagmeni on the coastal road. Parking at the Four Seasons is complimentary for guests.

Journey Details: Airport to Four Seasons Astir Palace

The most direct route runs via the Attica Motorway (Attiki Odos) south, then along the coastal road through Glyfada and Vouliagmeni. In normal traffic this takes 30–40 minutes. During summer peak hours (July/August, Friday afternoons) allow 50–60 minutes. The hotel driveway is well-signposted from the Vouliagmeni seafront road.
