General taxi info

Taxis in Athens are yellow with a "TAXI" sign on top. One can stop taxis in Greece by simply raising a hand or going to a Taxi stand (piatsa). Those can be found in many parts of Athens, mainly the central ones. It may occur that the taxi already has passengers inside or board other people during the ride, as it is common to share taxis in Athens. 

There is a minimum fare for the short taxi ride; after surpassing it, the price is settled by the meter.
Taxis in Greece double their fares between midnight and 05:00.
There is an extra charge for picking up from the ports, train and bus stations but also for pieces of luggage.
