More specifically:

• Passengers using the Metro without holding the foreseen deed of travel, are liable to a fine equal to 60 times the designated value of the ticket, i.e., 60,00 € or 30,00 € for the persons eligible to a reduced fare (Joint Ministerial Decision No. Α-44111/3784/ 25.07.2006/ GGI 1179Β/30.08.2006).

The applicable fine is imposed via a deed issued by the authorized ticket inspector, who issues the deed on-site and asks the violator to pay the fine immediately, or within a period of twenty (20) days (click on this link to see the payment methods) .

If the fine is not paid within twenty (20) days, then it is forwarded to the competent Tax Authority where the violator belongs. In this case the fine is decupled .
