Always confirm the accepted payment methods in your local currency before arrival.
Do I need a return transfer to the airport?
While not mandatory, booking a return transfer is highly recommended for a hassle-free departure. It ensures you have guaranteed transportation at your preferred time, avoiding the need to locate a taxi or navigate public transit with luggage. You can book the return leg simultaneously with your arrival transfer. This locks in your rate and ensures a private car waits for you at Swissotel Athens. The driver will pick you up from the hotel entrance. This is especially useful if you have an early morning flight. Booking both legs together often simplifies logistics.
