Well served by a number of outlets, it is a place to explore in its own right, and maybe a place to bag a last-second souvenir for that someone you weren't sure you'd be getting something. Needless to say, we're looking at airport prices you see anywhere else in the world.
As for being connected, it is also easy to get out of the airport - metro, tram, buses and taxis all serve the Venizelos, but I strongly suggest thinking twice about hailing a taxi. Compare the (possible) EUR 60 bill against the metro's EUR 6 (flat EUR 10 for two) or a bus's EUR 3. In both latter cases, the ticket is useable on other public transport systems for a period of time.
We took the metro and were in Athens with 27 minutes (not more than 45 minutes from touch-down). Theme: Airplane

I arrived to Greece-Athens by Russian "Kras Air" B-737. It took me 3,5 hours. The plane wasn't full and I've got a very convinuent place by the illuminator. So I've got a possibility to take a film "From rainy Domodedovo to sunny Athens by air".

ok, there are 3 options:
-bus
Take bus X95 (3.20 euro, 24h, one every 10-15’) from the airport that takes you direct to Syntagma square. There are also buses to Ethniki Amyna Metro station(X94), Port of Pireus(X96), Kifissos/Liosion Bus Stations(X93), Dafni Metro Station(X97), Kifisia(X92)
-Metro
Slightly more expensive than bus(10euros for 2 persons), the ride is 40’ and there is one every 30’ but of course not 24h like the bus. It takes you directly to Syntagma Square.
-taxi
I never took a taxi but I know it costs about 35-45 euro depending on the traffic, if it’s day or night, the driver and all this silly things… :) Theme: Bus

Taking the Metro is a straightforward way of reaching the city centre and will only cost you 0.80 Euros. You can reach the major stations such as Monastiraki and Omonia by just transiting once. If going to Syntagma, you won't have to transit at all. The Athens metro is fairly simple to navigate as there are just 3 colour-coded lines with English names. Greeks will always be happy to help if you're lost.
NOTE: If taking the metro to the airport, read the signboard before boarding the Blue Line! Not every train goes to the airport but the oens that do will indicate Airport as the terminating station. Airplane logos on the train itself will also show that you're on the right track (literally :P ). Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/MetroPhone: +30 (210) 3530000

 157 check-in counters... by AndyRG
The new airport of Athens, too modern and pleasant, has 157 check-in counters. The arrivals level is on the ground, the departures above it (for details about to/from "Eleftherios Venizelos", see the next tip). Leave a Comment Theme: AirplanePhone: +30 (210) 3530000

Eleftherios Venizelos is the newest airport in Greece and the largest. Located outside of Athens city in place with the name Spata. In the airport you can see and a small museum in the second floor. Leave a Comment Theme: AirplanePhone: +30 (210) 3530000
