So, when I write "Athens City Centre", what I really mean is “any place lying inside the “daktilios” ring".

So, if you are going by taxi from Athens airport to a destination lying inside the “daktilios” ring, or alternatively depart from a place located inside the “daktilios” ring to the airport, you CANNOT be charged more than this maximum price of 35 or 50 Euro. If you are asked to pay more, refuse to pay it and get taxi drivers plate number and call Protected content or Protected content number...works anywhere)!
Attention! This maximum price is NOT applicable to/from any place lying OUTSIDE the Athens “daktilios” ring (i.e. it is NOT applicable for example, to/from Glifada, Kifissia, Maroussi, Voula etc). In this case, the usual taxi-meter charge plus additional charge for airport fee, tolls, suitcases etc will apply.
