Black riding is quite common. We wait that somebody opens it with their ticket and we follow them.  Usually the controls are at the metro intersections (Syntagma, Omonia, Attiki, Monastiraki), where they hide behind the turns of the connecting corridors. If they catch you far enough north without a ticket, show them your passport, but don't pay the fine. Till now, nobody saw their fines redirected to their countries.  In nearly all stations, that are not underground you can escape also easily jump/climp the Athens metropolitan area and get long distance ridesfence. For MacedoniaIn some underground stop points you can also jump easily small walls (for example 0, turn left about 5m in Omonia) aside of the regular check points). Watch out for securities.  == Ferry from/to Athens == It is quite common to buy a ticket on the port (of Piraeus - south of Athens) for a kilometer after ferry to the first stop, but getting off later. They never check you when you leave the ferry. Seldomly they check the people that are waiting downstairs for leaving the enormous toll booth plaza before Thessalonikiferry.
