Weekend trip to Athens by coach

There is a trip overnight to Athens that runs most days and  is available through one or more local agents.

Unfortunately the Operator have changed the base hotel in Athens and it does not get the same reviews as their two previous choices. Some Local Agents are not aware of this change until they confirm your booking with the operator/supplier.

It appears that you take the new hotel  choicer do not take the trip. There is as no alternative or better reported hotel currently on offer. Only told about Hotel change after we booked so "Be careful out there".The local agent claims that the change only just happened as booking up to about a week ago were in different and well reviewed hotels in tourist friendly areas.

 

Hello,

 

I am hoping to come to Porta Koukla on asingle person's holiday on 21st May for 14days. I wondered if there will be a trip to Athens running around that time?

Are there different coach trips running to Athens around that time?

 

Thank you very much,

The hotel room was nice, the breakfasts were sufficient, although I can't exactly rave about Greek Coco-Pops !

 

Flippin eck, I hope I haven't pasted this twice but there was some sort of  problem for me (Microsoft Word for Idiots)  We went on the weekend trip to Athens May 26th/27th which was long but enjoyable (down to Kostas' humour and fabulous driving from Demetrious(Jimmy)).  If there is anyone out there who went on the same trip, would love to hear from you - coach family! We paid 99 euros and stayed in a lovely hotel, stopped on the way there and back for food (but you don't have to eat-it's extra everything else is included) saw archaeological sites on the way and  the fantastic Acropolis and Evzones before it got too busy (down to the tour itinerary)  went shopping for two hours in the Plaka and bruised my feet dancing at a Bouzoukia (sorry I accidentally pinched a knotted serviette).  It was hot but bearable - perhaps not for young children) and came back laughing(which is not happening now we are back in England)  Love to the Irish ladies who asked if Kostas could dance like Michael Flatley!?, the Scottish couple who we saw on two other occasions and Alex and Steve from Yorkshire.  This is my fourth visit to Athens and it never ceases to make my heart beat faster.  You must go, it is good value for money.  Have a good life.  Julie and Sarah

I forgot to rate the trip.

One of the best I've been on but it was very, very hot (second week July)

The trip was well planned with frequent stops, 2 different views of the Corrinth Canal and 4 houirs to wander around Athens after checking in to our 4 star hotel. In the evening we had a meal at a taverna (expensive) and then walked up to see the Parthenon lit up at night.

8am: found us at the bottom of the Acropolis, we beat the other tours to the shade (30 degrees, wear hat and carry water) Our guide was Sandi, who was spellbinding, keeping us entralled with the history of not only the Parthenon, but also of old and modern Greece. She then took us on a coach tour of Athens with further stories and anecdotes.

We arrived back in Tsilivi about 7pm. I wouldn't recommend this trip for any one with young children as it is tiring in the heat.

We booked though our JMC rep and although it may be dearer than some, this tour was better planed and the guides were some of the finest I have had.
