The fastest and easiest way to get around Athens is the Metro. It's brand new, spotless, safe, inexpensive and waiting time is minimal, from my experience I never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes at the most.
The Athens metro is one of the few public facilities in Greece that is totally accessible to people with disabilities. Once they get to a Metro station, that is, how they get there is another story.
Ticket prices are 0.70€ for a single ride, but you can also purchase a daily ticket for 2.90€ or a weekly ticket for 10€. The last two can be used on all public transportation means in Athens except for the train that takes you to the airport which costs 8€ for one person or 12€ for a 2-person group ticket. There are discounts for students, senior citizens, etc.
