Food

Efood

• This Delivery meal app is really easy to use. Available both in Greek and English.

It also offers 4 payment options. You can either pay by Cash, Card, PayPal, or Apple pay.

Wolt app

• Wolt is an app created by a Finnish technology company. It can be used in 100+ cities around the world and allows you to order food, groceries, and anything else you might need to be delivered. Overall, very practical and quite popular in Greece.

Moving around

Ath Airport App

• This app can be quite useful for anyone that visits Athens Airport for the very first time. It can help you find your way from and to the airport. Plus it gives you access to a lot of information such as flight arrival and departure times, parking spaces and cost, shops located in the Airport and other details that can help you familiarise yourself with this space.

Beat app

• The yellow cab services in Athens are easy to find and quite affordable. However, this app makes ordering a ride service even easier. It calculates the amount you need to pay when you enter your destination. Extra bonus, the fact that you can choose to pay by cash or card.

Moovit app

• This is a real-time public transport and journey planner app. It offers all local transit options in one platform. Moovit was founded as a startup in Israel in 2012. Currently, it has over 800 million users and operates in 100 countries. Please note that actual bus arrivals may vary from bus schedules.

Ath.ena card app

• Unfortunately, this app is can be used only if you own a personalised Ath.ena card. It allows you to top up your public transport card (Ath.ena card) or add multiple tickets to it. In order to get one, you need to go through this painful process. Getting an anonymous Ath.ena card from a designated counter or printing the rechargeable tickets available in every ticket machine is probably a better solution for now.

Ferryhopper app

• This app is great if you are planning an escape to one of the Greek Islands. It’s really easy to use. You just need to choose the island you wish to go to and the best ferry option for you. It allows you to add discounts and choose seats. Making purchasing tickets painless and trouble-free.
