Sep 2, 2024 – Athens, Greece

Flight departed at 1:30 am. Thank God on time. 


  • Uneventful flight, was hard to sleep but managed to squeeze in a few hours of sleep. 
  • Bought metro tickets in the airport for metro (EUR 9/adult, EUR 4.50/kid) and got to the Greece home by M3 line.
  • LIDL was on the way, did basic grocery shopping in a hurry (was closing in an hour at 21:00) to have the first meal that day!
  • The apartment turned out to be spacious. I especially like the night view – we can see the Acropolis from our balcony!

Highest Point: We could see the Acropolis while drinking wine on the balcony. 

Lowest Point: The airline did not even offer a token food (like a small pack of pretzels) or water. Had to buy everything. A bit annoying even for the economy airlines considering 9.5 hr flight.
