Getting to ATH

Metro Line 3 (blue line) connects Monastiraki and Syntagma stations in central Athens to the airport in 40 minutes for €10 one-way (€18 return, valid 48 hours). Trains run every 30 minutes from roughly 05:30 to midnight. Suburban rail (Proastiakos) also serves the airport, useful from Piraeus and the northern suburbs.

Express buses (X93 to Kifissos Bus Terminal, X95 to Syntagma, X96 to Piraeus) run 24/7 for €6.20 and take 60–90 minutes depending on traffic. Taxis from the city centre are metered with a flat rate of €40 (day) or €55 (night/holidays) from the airport to downtown. Ride-shares are limited; metered taxis are the standard option.

Getting from XMN

Metro Line 3 runs from the airport to central Xiamen and Xiamen North Station (high-speed rail hub) in 30–40 minutes for CNY 6–8. Taxis and DiDi are available outside arrivals; fares to the city centre are CNY 40–70. Airport buses serve multiple city destinations and the Wuyuan Bay ferry terminal for CNY 20.

Xiamen North Station connects via high-speed rail to Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Shanghai. The Gulangyu Island ferry is accessible from the city waterfront via taxi or bus from the airport. Rental car desks are in the arrivals hall.

Xiamen Climate

Subtropical maritime climate. Summers (June–September) are hot and humid at 28–34°C, with the southwest monsoon bringing heavy rainfall and typhoon risk from June through October. Typhoons can close the airport entirely and are the primary operational risk. September is statistically the peak risk month for direct hits.

Winters (December–February) are mild and relatively dry at 12–18°C, among the most pleasant winter climates of any Chinese city. Spring (March–May) is warm but rainy and foggy. Flying conditions are generally excellent outside the typhoon and monsoon season.
