Public transportation from Athens to Volos is via train (you must usually change trains in Larissa) or bus.
To reach the "Liosion" intercity bus station from the airport: Option 1, via the metro (about 60') * from the airport take line 3 (Line 3), direction "Egaleo" * at "Monastiraki" change to line 1, direction "Kifisia" * get off at "Kato Patissia" * walk to the bus station (+15') Option 2, via suburban rail and metro (about 45') * from the airport take the suburban railway, direction "Larissa" * at "Neratziotisa" change to metro line 1, direction "Piraeus" * get off at "Kato Patissia" * walk to the bus station (+15') A map that shows how to reach the bus station from "Kato Patissia" http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&ll=38.011549,23.725061&spn=0.00754,0.012939&z=16&msid=100308688324317463199.0004556f172375b58a10c Option 3, via bus (no idea how much this takes): * take bus X93 from the airport, which passes by the "Liosion" intercity bus station To reach the "Larissa" train station from the airport: Option 1, via the metro (about 45') * from the airport take line 3, direction "Egaleo" * at "Syntagma" change to line 2, direction "Aghios Antonios" * get off at "Larissa" * walk over to the nearby train station Option 2, via the suburban rail (about 40') * from the airport take the suburban railway, direction "Larissa" * get off at "Larissa" Note that the station "Larissa" is an abbreviation for "Train Station to Larissa", not the city itself. We will try to collect relevant timetable information for train and bus connections from Athens/Thessaloniki (some of this is not yet available and/or in Greek). I will send a note when done.
Perhaps some other guy could tell how to get to Volos from Athens...
