You will notice that locals travel with their hands on their bags and pockets and keeping their bag in front rather than on their side or back - you should be doing the same, since pickpocket is a very common and high-level risk in the metro and crowded tourist areas. You need to pay special attention at the interchange metro stations (Syntagma, Omonia, Monastiraki), as well as the trains and buses from/to the airport. Pickpocket gangs usually operate in groups by making crowds and jamming-up on the trains and buses, metro escalators. While part of the group distracting the attention of the victims offering friendly "help" - the rest of the group pickpockets them. Main targets are tourists, passengers with bulky luggage, confused and disoriented visitors.

СРЕДНИЙ УРОВЕНЬ УГРОЗЫ — ТАКСИ

Many taxi drivers tend to over-charge customers by illegal extra fees, expensive fixed rates, meter manipulations. Tourists need to insist on the meter and make sure the rate is correct: tariff 1 displayed on the meter for daily rides (most of the day from 5 AM until 12 AM) and tariff 2 displayed on the meter for the night rides (from 0:00 AM until 5:00 AM) only. If you realize that he/she has overcharged you, you can always report this to the police, once you take the receipt and registration plates. A taxi ride from/to the airport to the Athens centre (anywhere in the city centre) is at the fixed flat rate: 38€ per car (night airport flat tariff is 54€ per car for the rides from 0:00 AM until 5:00 AM).
