Approximate time from landing to hotel in Athens
Our flight is arriving at 5:30 PM on a Friday. With passport control, baggage claim and customs and the cab to central Athens, when might we expect to arrive at our hotel? Providing the flight is on time, what is the best case scenerio and the worst?

Where are you coming from and is it a direct flight.
We fly transatlantic to Frankfurt and connect on a flight to Athens from there. In that case you clear EU passport control in Frankfurt and there is no passport review in Athens so you walk straight from baggage into the arrivals level of the airport and away you go.
We also travel ultra light with small carry on back packs only, so we walk right past baggage and head into Athens.
This will reduce your time in the airport. Now for Athens rush hour traffic, that's always going to be slow.
