Airport flat rate: €40 (day) or €55 (night) for licensed taxis; Bolt and Uber run €33-50. For short city rides, taxis cost €4-7 and are cheap. If hailing on the street, shout your destination as the cab slows — the driver will signal yes or no.</div> </div> </div> <p>The first time I tried to hail a taxi in Athens, I stood on the sidewalk for ten minutes while occupied cabs blew past me.
