Athens?

Right just booking my tickets for Athens, But not sure where is the best part of the city to stay?

So kinda need some advice from anyone who has been there and kinda knows the best places for the nightlife and what would be considered centrally located? And I kinda need this info quick as possible as this will be a kinda rushed booking, Got some cheap flights into Athens and will be staying there from the 19th - 28th May and hopefully pick up a few tickets along the way for the Champions League Final

PS: This gonna be a good summer, As I leave for Thailand on the 13th June for 6weeks also

The Plaka is the best area. has a view towards the Acropolis.

Ally, been a while since l was there, but l stayed in an area right near Victorias (a little North of the city centre underground station and it was quite nice around there..........a lot of other places l seen in Athens looked pretty edgy.

Piraeus looked an interesting spot....it's the main port of Athens and is South of the city.

The Plaka definately is the place to stay. A nice central location plus the suvlakis are great

Pireas is the point to all of the great islands..

Have a good time and good luck....

We were terrible on the night, realistically we lacked imagination and to be honest most other things. We didn't deserve to win that tie or the premiership this season.... However there will always be next season

17,000... But the locals will also get a good amount of tickets to go to see the match, And they will be selling them for way over there face value, So we will need a lot of luck finding a couple, But we will try our best..

Actually finding a hotel in Athens is going to be another problem, We are all booked up but have no accomadation and there are no hotels on any websites for the days around the game, So we could be out on the streets for 3 nights aswell

Unless anyone knows of a hotel or B&B with vacancys in Athens?????????

Have I got this right Ally. You are going to Athens to see the Champions League Final, but you don't have a match ticket, or a hotel room?

555555555 Priceless.

Good Luck mate. I can see somebody paying an extortionate price for a pair of tickets over there.

Can't see anything wrong with this, he will be able to find a ticket, if he decides it is too high price, no problems he's in Athens, with the cup final atmoshere, loads of fellow liverpool supporters, watching the game on a widescreen projector tele, with all the others who didn't get in, with a greek bird on each arm, and for accomodation, he'll get some, sounds good to me!!

Thats about the size of it...555555555..

Well that was until Steve w gave me that link, Even though I could not find anything on that site, It made me search even more sites and eventually I found this one BOOKING.COM online hotel reservations and I have found one room in a 5* hotel for that day we arrive, Its steep though at 400euro for a triple room

So works out 133 each, Then found a hotel for the night after the final for a more reasonable price of 120 (40 each).. So just one day and night on the street, The day of the match and final so not much need for a hotel because were gonna be out celebrating all night with a little bit of luck

We paid altogether 720 each so far, That includes...

Dublin - Crete for 3nights
Crete - Athens for 3nights
Athens - Crete for 1night
Then back to Dublin....

So if we can pick up a ticket for 700-1000... Then we will still be quids in and got an extra few days on holiday aswell, Would never book through them agents, They are money grabbing bastards and should not be allowed to sell them tickets for 1000 euro when they get them for 60-130 quid... Its bad enough the touts doing it but legit buisnesses should not be allowed to fleece people like that!!!
