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 boat at EUR 40.00 do not cover each other.
The metro ends at Piraeus, not at the quay. The Hydra boats leave from Gate E9: check it on the operator's port map, which also marks a ticket point for the Saronic islands at the port gate.
Hydra has few sailings, and the last one back leaves at 17:45: a day trip needs the 08:00 or 10:00 out.
