The port of Gavrio on Andros can be reached from the port of Rafina with two - five crossing daily, depending on the time of the year. There are also at least three daily ferry boat connections from the islands of Tinos and Myconos. The distance is 36 nautical miles and is covered in either one or two hours depending on the type of vessel. Rafina is situated 30 km from Athens and 10 Km from the Athens international airport. Both are connected by regular bus services to Rafina.

Information for more detailed bus schedules from Athens or from the airport to Rafina can obtained from the public bus services, www.ktel.org telephone 210-8843250 For the ferry boat timetables, telephones 1440, email: info@batsiandros.com and for internet. For the weather forercast & http://www.openseas.gr

NOTE: A public bus will take you from the port of Gavrio to Batsi (for the Elpida hotel). You will need to have change for the bus fare of (currently) Euro 1.50

NOTE: We may be able to arrange transportation from the port to the hotel (no promises). Look out for any updates about this.

If you are stopping in Athens: Cheap accommodation in the centre...

If you need somewhere central, convenient, clean & economical to stay in Athens, this is ideal - situated right next to the Acropolis and very close to the Metro. The lively Monastiraki & Plaka shopping, restaurants and bars area is also nearby.

(NOTE: Most of our hashers live way out from the centre - in the Northern or Southern suburbs - away from the tourist spots)

The Metro now connects directly with the new International Airport. The metro takes you to the centre of Athens and down to Piraeus to connect with the ferries to the Islands. (See our website http://www.athenshash.com - in the Interest section - for maps of the Metro & Athens, etc).

This is a great place to stay to do some quick sightseeing and tour the tourist areas, bars, etc.
