Mike’s notes

Athens Tram has two services. T6 runs from Syntagma through Neos Kosmos and Nea Smyrni to Pikrodafni. T7 starts on the central Piraeus loop, passes Faliro and Pikrodafni, and follows the coast through Glyfada to Voula.

Tickets and payment

The tram uses the standard OASA urban fare. Tap a supported Visa or Mastercard, Apple Pay, or Google Pay at the platform validator. A 90-minute trip costs €1.20, and contactless urban travel is capped at €4.10 per day. Ath.ena Tickets also work, but they must be validated before boarding.

Vehicles and access

The fleet is fully articulated and low-floor. Twenty-five newer trams entered service from 2021 alongside the original 2004 vehicles. Both generations have climate control, though crowded coastal services can still feel warm because doors open frequently at closely spaced stops.

Most platforms provide level or near-level boarding. Access may still involve road crossings, ramps, or exposed platforms, especially along the coast. In central Piraeus, T7 uses a one-way street loop, so the return trip serves a different sequence of city-center stops.

Tram travel is slower than the metro but useful for direct coastal trips. Check STASY notices before a late trip because street works and events can shorten or divert surface services.
