Arriving by Car

From Athens, plan a route towards Livadia using the A1 and the connecting road network. Journey time depends on your starting point, traffic and the route selected. Check where your accommodation recommends parking before entering the centre.

Arriving by Coach

KTEL Livadia connects the town with Athens and settlements in its service area. Use the official timetables to confirm the departure point, travel day and return journey. Holiday schedules can differ.

Arriving by Train

Search for Livadia in the Hellenic Train journey planner for your travel date, and check service updates before leaving. The railway station is outside the town centre: arrange the onward transfer with your accommodation or a local taxi service. Do not assume that a connecting bus will meet your train.

Getting Around and Taking Day Trips

Walking works well for a visit focused on the centre and Krya, although uphill sections and steps need to be considered. A car gives more flexibility for a day with several stops. Some nearby settlements also have KTEL connections; confirm both directions and operating days before choosing a bus excursion.

Useful Before You Leave

Keep your accommodation address and transfer arrangements to hand. Greece uses the euro. For an overview of road and rail access, see the Municipality of Livadia access guide; use the operators for current departure times and tickets.

Arrange your station transfer before arrival

Livadia railway station is outside the town centre. Arrange your transfer with your accommodation or book a taxi before the train arrives. Do not rely on an unconfirmed bus connection or assume that a taxi will be waiting.
