X95 express busorMetro M3 and Blue Star ferry to Mykonos?
The short answer
These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The X95 express bus reaches Syntagma and the historic center; the Metro M3 and Blue Star ferry to Mykonos does not. This goes on by ferry to Mykonos, landing at the new port at Tourlos, 2 km north of Mykonos Town.
The X95 express bus is quicker: 1 h against 8 h 08.
X95 express bus: Runs all night. Metro M3 and Blue Star ferry to Mykonos: hours not recorded.

The published hour is a fair-weather figure. This is a road journey through Mesogeion Avenue into the middle of Athens, and at rush hour it takes considerably longer than the metro.
Boarding is restricted on the route from the airport, so it does not fill up before it reaches you.
It is the only recorded way into Athens that runs right through the night: OASA operates the airport express lines on a 24-hour basis.

Blue Star lists one sailing a day to Mykonos in October, at 07:30 from Gate E7 with two calls on the way; report at the gate an hour before. The first airport metro reaches Piraeus about 07:13, so the same morning only the all-night X96 bus gets you there in time.
Two separate tickets: the metro at EUR 9.00 and the ferry from EUR 53.00 do not cover each other, and Blue Star does not issue tickets on board.
The metro ends at Piraeus, not at the quay. The Mykonos boat leaves from Gate E7: check it on the operator's port map.
If the metro is closed, the X96 express bus runs from the airport to Piraeus all night, about 90 minutes at EUR 5.50.
