X96, however, provides transportation to the Pire Port and from Pire, to the airport.
Passing through Monastiraki and Sintagma, located in the city center, the M3 line takes you directly to the Airport. However, from the Omonoia Square you can get on the M1 line to get to Monastiraki switching to line M2 which will get you to Sintagma from where you can get on a bus to the airport.
The M3 line also can get you to important places like the Benaki museum, Athens Academy and Athens Concert hall.

Tripoli International Airport is not close to the city center. There is also no public transport from the airport. For this reason, you may want to ask to be picked up from the airport if you know someone in Tripoli. If you do not have someone who can pick you up, you can rent a car or take a taxi. Most of the hotels also offer airport shuttle service for extra fee.
It is possible to reach the Tripoli city center in an average of 30 minutes by taking a taxi from the front of the airport. However, you should definitely agree with the taxi drivers about where you will go and negotiate the fare.
If you rent a car, you must go straight north on Airport Hwy to get to the city center from the airport. The journey takes about half an hour. Be careful especially at night when driving in the countryside, because many animals such as camel, cow, and sheep can come out on the way.
Almost all of the limited number of accommodation centers in the city offer airport shuttle service. You can request a shuttle service to the airport in advance. Just remember that there is another airport in the city and make sure that your hotel understands which airport you will be going to.
