The flat fare applies to the city center inner ring. The airport does not publish where that boundary runs, so for an address outside the middle of Athens, agree the basis of the fare before setting off.
Greek law requires the driver to issue a receipt for the amount paid.
Journey time is the least predictable here: Mesogeion Avenue at rush hour is slower than the metro that runs beside it.

Two separate tickets: the metro at EUR 9.00 and the ferry from EUR 9.00 do not cover each other; the ferry is EUR 10.50 unless booked online on Aegina Ferries' own site.
The metro ends at Piraeus, not at the quay. Aegina Ferries names no gate at Piraeus; ask at the port or call its Piraeus office before you go.
The crossing takes 1 h 25 min, and three boats sail each way a day.
If the metro is closed, the X96 express bus runs from the airport to Piraeus all night, about 90 minutes at EUR 5.50.
