UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[Russ aka Big Nose]

Similar to BV, I have booked a Marriott in central area cancellable up to 27 May at £137 per night.

I have been looking closer to the stadium but finding that difficult. I have not been to Athens so not sure how easy it is to get around.  Any suggestions on hotel location would be welcomed*

Last time i pre booked a ticket for a hotel and final was not a good omen - Bradford in CC semi

I went a couple of months ago with a few mates. We were fairly central so walked to most places, though there seemed to be a few Metro stations dotted about. Fairly typically, the airport is a bit of a distance from the centre and it took under an hour on the Metro with one change.

The stadium is a bit north of the centre, so the search for a hotel might depend on whether you have a ticket. If you do, then being in the suburbs around the stadia could be an option versus central hotels catering for tourists - though that said, the city gets loads of tourists so central Athens has lots of accommodation. It struck me that a lot was independently owned rather than big hotel chains - though I might be wrong ... drink was taken

I've never been to Athens so probably better to heed those that have. I didn't worry unduly about being close to the stadium as I'd only be going there for the game. I'd look at staying somewhere more central as I presume that's where the Villa fans would be spending most of their time.

[Russ aka Big Nose]

To be fair BV, having just looked on a map, the stadium is still fairly central - probably 2 miles from the Acropolis. UTV.

I lived in Athens for a while until 2019. It's an easy city to get around for the most part and taxis are dead cheap and plentiful anyway.

Heaps of accommodation and most of it is central - I'd recommend staying central or north just for convenience. There's a bar called Athens Sports Bar near the acropolis which sponsored our Villa supporters club team also and home of the Athens Lions!

Are people going to go even without a ticket?

Yes, absolutely.

Yes, absolutely.

Only if Monty and Ads are going, we'll need someone to translate the Classical Greek inscriptions.

[Exeter 77]

I have some members of extended family who live in Athens so I'm hoping to be able to call in a favour or two.

[Pete3206]

I'm not booking a hotel after that Bradford debacle. And that was the semi final!

[ADVILLAFAN]

Yes, you lot are a lot less pessimistic about Villa than me obviously

[Hookeysmith]

Hotel booked - very reasonably priced for 3 people

Just need a Villa final and a ticket and a flight

Yes, absolutely.

Only if Monty and Ads are going, we'll need someone to translate the Classical Greek inscriptions.

Why? They've been chiselled off, and residing in the British Museum.

Have they lost their marbles?

Yes - but I’ll try and get one if the Villa are playing!
