Service on the Athens transport system will slow down over the long Easter weekend, the OASA transit company said on Thursday, presenting the schedule for the capital’s metro, tram, buses and trolley buses.
On Saturday in particular, buses and trolley buses will start pulling off the road after 10 p.m. so that drivers can attend church for the Resurrection service at midnight.

Trains will also be leaving Syntagma Square at 11 p.m. in every direction.
For Athens International Airport, the last train will leave the Piraeus Municipal Theater at 9.43 p.m., while from the airport to the port, it will be at 10.22 p.m.
