An The Winner is...The TAXI!
Review of Getting around in Athens by coffeeandTV

Advantages: cheap, easy
Disadvantages: too much traffic in the centre 24/7

If you are planning a trip to Athens, there are a few notes you should take -and I do not mean the route to Acropolis or the address of the best taverna!

Review of Getting around in Athens by Aquila

Advantages: cheap, functional, part of the Athens experience
Disadvantages: driven by maniacs, many cars unsafe
