Using the bus to get to/from
Livadi
The bus to Livadi leaves from Kifissou bus station in Eastern Athens.
You take the bus to Leonidion as this stops at Livadi on
the way.
To get to Kifissou bus station, take the Express bus number 93
from the airport. This leaves every half an hour and takes roughly
an hour to get to the bus station. Buy your tickets (3 Euros) at
the airport (kiosk just next to the bus stand). The number 051
bus goes to the station from near Omonia Square in the city centre
- the number 051 (bus tickets obtainable from most kiosks). Note
that on both of these buses you must validate your ticket in the
ticket-punching machine as soon as you board.
Buses to Livadi/Leonidion leave at
07.45, 11.00 (except Sunday), 16.00 and 18.30 (daily in the summer
- Fridays only in winter). This timetable was correct November
2008 but click

website.
Tickets for Livadi cost about 18 Euros (Nov 2008) and the location
of the ticket office is shown on the diagram below. If they don't
know/understand where Livadi is, buy a ticket to Leonidion (the
main town just after Livadi) and ask the bus driver to stop at
Livadi.
The journey takes 3 - 4 hours and bus stops include the Corinth
Canal, Argos, Astros, Aghios Andreas and Tyros. The bus will usually
let passengers off wherever they request so there may be multiple
stops at some towns. Make sure the bus driver knows to stop at
Livadi (ask a passenger for help if need be). You want to get off
at the main road coast (NOT at the village itself which is down
a side road and on the sea). The house is close to the turn-off
for Livadi. It's down a track about 200m before the turn-off.
Note that the bus journey does not always include a stop for toilet
breaks and although there may be a toilet on the bus it is often
kept locked - so perhaps best not to drink too many coffees before
your journey!
Kifissou bus station may appear confusing and somewhat chaotic
to the visitor so the map below is to help you find your way around
it. Good luck!
