Brazilian Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 was on last night to do a booking gave myself a budget of £500 but as I was picking hotels all the prices jumped £2-300 above that, was gutted , in a self harming way I looked in this thread earlier and saw maplewells post Our hotel has a poolside bar on the roof Likewise mate! Where you staying? Special AKA we are in the Radisson Blu Park, think it may be close to you, also has rooftop pool give eachother a wave from your respective pools then lucky bastards which made me go and look again at expedia and ended up booking Monday to Friday Edinburgh to Athens via Heathrow 4 nights in the novotel less than £500 BA all the way Cheers MapleWell EDIT: anybody getting into athens around 17:40 on Monday know the buses and stuff into town?

Jay Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 EDIT: anybody getting into athens around 17:40 on Monday know the buses and stuff into town? Get in on Sunday night myself, but the buses and metro from the airport to the town are pretty straight forward. For example, to get to Syntagma Square (which appears to be the 'centre' for most 'Well fans), you can get either a bus every 15 minutes or so (24 hours a day) for 5 Euros, I think it was, and it takes about 70 minutes. The metro to the same destination costs 6 Euros I'm sure and takes half an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special aka Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Going on the club charter so looks like the tuesday night will be the only chance to experience the Athens nightlife, hope to see some fellow 'Well fans out on the razzle then! Dino's on the Charter too, so you can guarantee the "razzle" good luck keeping up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_I Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Anyone arriving on the 2am flight Tues Morning thats staying in the Crown Plazza or close by that facies a taxi share. There is 2 of us. We are getting the same timed flight that arrives on Wednesday at 2am. It is like 96 euros or something to get a taxi to and from the hotel or 50 euro for just the one way. But, I've noticed there is a shuttle bus running into the city 24/7 that is only 3,40 euro so we'll just be getting that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wembley-13 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) Holla... from Athens. I 've just read that you 've grabbed only 800 tickets and in a way i was dissapointed cause i thought you would be bringing more fans down here. I' ve been reading your National Geographic surveys about Athens, sorry guys, the ones that have booked at President Hotel are the finest, all the others - with the exception of Novotel- should be prepared for mediocracy. F@@ the pools, for once visit Acropoles and Thisio, it' s an experience. Stay away from the centre (Omonoia) + u would be fine - albeit those that love living dangerously. In the airport catch the bus (anytime u fall in), it will get u at the centre and taxi's are far more cheaper from there. If u insist on hiring a taxi from EL.VEN., then the tariff is 35 euros through 05:00-24:00 and 50 euros through 24:00-05:00. Do not pay more under any circumstances. As for the game itself. - Dont bring with you any Olympiakos (a disgusting, port-based, full of corruptancy club) scarfs or colors (even if someone gives it to u). I repeat dont. It's like going to Celtic Park with h**s colors, and far more dangerous. - You will not face any kind of problems, unless u tend to be provocative - which i doubt it. - You eventually will lose, but stick With us and sing. It's going to be a short 30.000 summer stadium, but hell, it would b fun Edited August 3, 2012 by wembley-13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special aka Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 800 travelling fans is about 750 more than Pana brought to Fir Park, and from a town of less than 30,000 souls compared to a city of over 3million I'd say that aint too bad. just out of interest, do Olympiakos play in claret & amber ????? + I'm in the best hotel, I'm in the best hotel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
