It is generally easy to catch a taxi in Athens and other large cities, although sometimes the one you flag down will not want to drive you to your desired location. If that is the case, simply wait for the next one.
The taxis in Greece also engage in ride sharing in the sense that they sometimes look for other passengers going to places near your destination if you are riding alone. When this happens, you usually end up paying less for your trip because the portion of the ride that you share with others is shared in cost as well.
In comparison to other international cities the rates in Athens are very cheap. Although be aware that after midnight the fares are double. Even so, they are still a bargain when compared to non-Greek destinations.
