Athens Star Transfer
Group & Coach Transfers in Athens
Moving a large group through Athens requires more than a fleet of taxis. Wedding parties, cruise ship excursions, MICE delegations, sports teams, school trips and religious pilgrimages all need to travel together, arrive together, and stay on schedule together. Athens Star Transfer runs a dedicated group transport service across Athens and mainland Greece, using black executive mini-buses and full-size coaches driven by professional Greek chauffeurs.
Whether your group is 12 people leaving a hotel in Plaka for a private Acropolis tour, 20 guests arriving at a wedding in Kifissia, or 50 cruise passengers disembarking at Piraeus for a Cape Sounio excursion, our coach and mini-bus service handles the logistics with the same fixed-price transparency as our airport transfers.
Group transfers and coach hire from Athens
A group transfer is any pre-booked ride for a party too large for a single van. The service covers hotel-to-airport shuttles for tour groups, port-to-city runs for cruise ship excursions, wedding transport, corporate incentive events, MICE congresses, sports and school groups, and multi-day charters through the Peloponnese or northern Greece.
Every group booking with Athens Star Transfer includes a dedicated dispatcher who plans the itinerary, timings, pick-up points and meeting instructions in advance, so that on the day itself everything runs quietly in the background.
Meet and greet for groups in Athens
Groups arriving at Athens Airport or Piraeus port receive the same meet-and-greet treatment as a single passenger, scaled up.
At Athens Airport
For arrivals of 12–50 passengers, a chauffeur waits inside the Arrivals Hall with a printed group sign and coordinates the walk to the coach in the short-stay car park. A dispatcher stays on the phone to help stragglers reconnect if they take longer through passport control.
At Piraeus port
Cruise groups are met inside the terminal building at Gates E11 and E12 with a group sign and escorted to the coach. Waiting time is generous — we know cruise ship disembarkation can take an hour longer than scheduled.
At hotels and venues
For wedding, corporate and tour groups leaving from a hotel or private venue, the coach reports 15 minutes early to allow loading and roll-call before departure.
Fixed group pricing for Athens and beyond
Group and coach transfers are priced per vehicle, per journey — not per passenger. Once your group is quoted, adding or subtracting a few passengers within the vehicle capacity does not change the price. Tolls, fuel and driver wages are all included.
- Black mini-bus (12 passengers) — from €150 per airport or Piraeus transfer
- Black mini-bus (20 passengers) — from €200 per airport or Piraeus transfer
- Full-size coach (up to 50 passengers) — quoted per journey, always fixed price
- Multi-hour group hire around Athens — from €100/hour for mini-buses
- Long-distance group transfers (Delphi, Meteora, Nafplio) — quoted per itinerary
Our group vehicle fleet
Larger vehicles do not have to feel like a school bus. Our black mini-bus and coach fleet is chosen for a premium experience — dark exterior, tinted windows, upgraded interior fittings and quiet engines.
12-passenger black mini-bus
Ideal for small tour groups, extended families and cruise excursions. Enough luggage room for a genuine long-distance trip.
20-passenger black mini-bus (Mini Bus)
Our rebranded 20-seat vehicle, presented in black livery to match the executive fleet. Perfect for wedding guests and mid-size incentive groups.
50-passenger executive coach
A full-size touring coach with reclining seats, panoramic windows, air-conditioning and PA system. Used for full cruise ship charters, conferences and religious pilgrimages across Greece.
Combined convoys
For groups of 60–200, we combine multiple vehicles under a single dispatcher so that all guests arrive at the same venue at the same time.
How to book a group transfer or coach in Athens
Group bookings involve more variables than a single transfer, so we usually confirm by email or WhatsApp within a few hours of the initial request.
- Send us the group size, dates, pickup point(s), destination(s) and any timing constraints (ferry departure, wedding start time, meeting slot).
- We reply with a fixed price per vehicle and per journey, together with a suggested vehicle mix.
- Once you confirm, we assign chauffeurs, share the itinerary with your group leader, and monitor the trip live on the day.
- Add child seats, wheelchair-accessible vehicles, luggage trailers or on-board water as required.
- Choose payment — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, cash or bank transfer, invoiced to the group leader or organisation after the trip.
- Large multi-day or multi-vehicle charters may require a partial deposit at booking.
