need help athens,greece airport hotel
I know exactly what you're talking about. The only hotel anywhere near the
Athens airport is the Sofitel, which is horribly overpriced. However, there are no other options if you want to avoid commuting to the airport early in the morning. My wife and I stayed at our hotel on the Plaka and then took the bus to the airport (the number 95 bus) that stops at the National Garden just south of Syntagma Square. We had to get on the bus very early in the morning to catch our 6:00 flight, but we were not alone. I couldn't believe how many people were doing the same thing. It's rough, but it saves a lot of money. If you stayed at the airport hotel you would really only get about an hour more sleep, so it's not that big of a deal if you think about it.

We took a cab recently at 5 a.m. to the airport from a hotel located between Athens and Piraeus. It was arranged by the travel agency, (airport transfers were included as part of our tour package), but I imagine any hotel could also call a radio cab for you. There seemed to be lots of cabs on the road at 5 a.m. and it was actually one of the few pleasant times to be driving in Athens. Very little traffic. -- Ron |
