octo Posted May 25, 2022 Share #25 Posted May 25, 2022 Just had a quick meeting with my 2 French sidekicks about Athens: we might induce another one to come with us. The consent is that it would be better to get an AirB&b rather that a hotel. We discussed the eventual purchase of Oscar Barnack camera at 1 000 000€ starting price: I thought we could bid 1 000 001€. They generously said they'd be willing to put up the 1€. Great friends! 3 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
octo Posted May 28, 2022 Share #26 Posted May 28, 2022 Accommodation 99% done for the 4 of us, flight chosen (but not booked yet). I am in a hurry, all of a sudden! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

octo Posted May 28, 2022 Share #28 Posted May 28, 2022 Flight booked: Nice Athens 118.20€ Return: pretty good deal for a direct flight! Now waiting for the confirmation from the Airbnb host. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
octo Posted May 28, 2022 Share #29 Posted May 28, 2022 Accommodation confirmed. I'll let my sidekicks deal themselves with their flights. We will arrive on the 13th at 22.05 local and depart on the 16th at 16.05, flying Aegean Airlines. I guess that means we won't be able to afford the 1 000 000 € + Oscar Barnack paperweight 🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could anybody please guide in which part of Athens the official lunch/dinner etc. will likely take place, if already planned/decided. Would help enormously to choose accommodation from the ~4000 alternatives available in AirBnB & Booking.com. Thanks, Arto Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share #31 Posted May 29, 2022 Arto It’s not been decided yet, but Ravi ( @Sandokan ) was there last year testing every bar, taverna and restaurant in the city (almost) on our behalf, so I will touch base with him and move this forwards. I look forward to seeing you there! For what it’s worth, we have rented an apartment near the park with Hadrian’s Arch and not far from the Acropolis metro station Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share #32 Posted May 29, 2022 I have to say I’m really looking forward to this. Just to travel and find some sun on my back will be a real treat. Sitting in my garden, watching all the flights coming into Manchester Airport at 5,000 feet over the field next door, is getting my wanderlust going, I’m afraid. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandokan Posted May 30, 2022 Share #33 Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) @AZach Around the centre near where Andy is staying and downhill from Acropolis was the most lively part and where i will likely stay in area near Psyri Edited May 30, 2022 by Sandokan 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanetomlane Posted June 13, 2022 Share #37 Posted June 13, 2022 I’ve started to look at flights, out on the Thursday and back on Monday. Looking forward to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanetomlane Posted June 13, 2022 Share #38 Posted June 13, 2022 All booked on easyJet for just over a hundred quid a ticket. Decided to stay until Tuesday the 18th, as the 17th is our 52nd wedding anniversary and I thought a meal in Greece would be probably cheaper than back in Blighty. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
