== Hitching out ==
=== North to [[Volos]], [[Thessaloniki]] {{E|75}} ===
Take the metro line 1, till the last station "Kifissia". From there, [httpshttp://mapsosm.google.comorg/mapsdirections?saddrengine=graphhopper_foot&route=38.0736000738,23.808195&daddr=8083;38.0723890728,23.811949&t=h&dirflg=w 8123 cross the park]. You'll find a busy bus stop, direction north, take the bus [http://www.oasa.gr/xpmap.php?id=p509&lang=en 509]
Get off the bus after 39 stops (30 min), at bus stop "Neo Terma", at the end of the cityAgios Stefanos, when it makes a uU-turn and continues back to go back. The stop is named "Neo Terma" (new terminus), but now there is a newer one, so the bus is not ending there any morecity. [httpshttp://maps.googleosm.comorg/mapsdirections?saddrengine=graphhopper_foot&route=38.15491550,23.857&daddr=8573;38.1551549,23.8559&t=h&dirflg=w 8558 Walk 300m] to the parallel of the high-way. It's quite busy with drivers avoiding the toll station 3km away. You can either walk to that toll station, or wait for a short ride, who's gonna drop you 18km away at "Sirios" complex. To help you make your decision, drivers are in better mood after eating than after paying tolls.
Sirios includes a restaurant, a gas station and Jumbo store. If Sirios restaurant is empty at that time of the day, you can also catch a ride at the point where drivers who avoided the tolls are getting back into the high way. Half of the rides go to Halkida, and the other half go further North. Decline rides that don't go in your direction, they will only put you in a worse spot.
=== North-West to Thiva ===
New spot, i cannot confirm the hitch-hikeability of this route:
Take the suburban till MandraMagoula. From there, take the bus [http://www.oasa.gr/xpmap.php?id=p861&lang=en 861] till the last stop. There's only 35km left to Thiva.
=== West to the [[Peloponnesos]], [[Patra]] or [[Tripoli]] {{E|94}} ===
==== Option 4 : Eleusina Toll Station ====
With the same buses of option 2, you get off at Platia Elefsinas and [httpshttp://mapsosm.google.comorg/mapsdirections?saddrengine=graphhopper_foot&route=ΠΛ.ΕΛΕΥΣΙΝΑΣ+@38.0431510431,23.542327&daddr=5420;38.0420420,23.495 4962 walk 5.5km3km] to Eleusina Toll Station.
=== South to [[Sounio]] ===
Take the bus [http://www.oasa.gr/xpmap.php?id=p122&lang=en 122] from metro Elliniko to Saronida, go down at the last stop, walk along the coast to get out of Saronida, and from there you can hitch-hike to Sounio.
== Public Transport ==
Tickets cost EUR 1.20 (full price) or EUR 0.60 (students) and are valid for 70min after first validation. As an act of solidarity, partially used tickets are left on the validating machines, escalators, etc. If you find one, take it. The time of first validation are the last 4 digits printed.
You can check where are the controls on the mobile site [http://syrma.gr/ Syrma.gr]. Usually the controls are at the metro intersections (Syntagma, Omonia, Attiki, Monastiraki), where they hide behind the turns of the connecting corridors. If they catch you without a ticket, show them your passport, but don't pay the fine. Till now, nobody saw their fines redirected to their countries.
