Athens? Flights expensive

no chance I'm going there to be treated like cattle again after that shit show in Istanbul.

Athenians leave en masse in August for good reason. The city is fucking boiling and once again clearly an unsuitable venue for a showpiece sports event at that time.

That's why we are staying on a near by island, so only one night in Athens

Yes a very good strategy, you'll have a great time. Probably my favourite country due to some connections through work, I've a lot of love for the place.

thisisathens.org is the best website for recommendations, it's a collaboration between private and public sector with lots of input from locals.

That's a really good price for that time of year. Tickets will be interesting, I saw Chelsea and Liverpool fans only got about 5,000 for their Super Cup game a few years ago in a similar sized stadium. Rest go to UEFA cronies and wider sale. Would imagine we'd sell out that number though even with the time of year and prices.
 
Don’t think I can start a new thread yet but does anyone know the name stadium where the club World Cup is being held in Saudi Arabia
 
Zea Marina is a great place for drinks in Piraeus. Spent a day there last year getting suitably refreshed. Looks like it's about a 30 min walk to the stadium so avoids dealing with UEFA's shambolic transport "organisation".

Have a great time blue, did Aegina for a week about 30 years ago hopefully it's improved from how it was then.
