Athens Disembarkation

[Rich500]

Hi Everyone, 

It's been a while since my last cruise and I feel out of practice.  We are booked for the July 23 sailing out of Athens on the Musica, returning to Athens on July 30.  We plan to head to Istanbul after the cruise.  Does anyone have recent experience with disembarkation in Athens and how soon people are realistically able to get off the boat?  We are trying to figure out which flight to catch, one leaves at 1:30pm the other 3:40pm.   The 30th is a Sunday so traffic through Athens to the airport should not be a problem.  

 

Sorry if this is a repetitive question,

Rich

Hi, We were on NCL Jade in early October. Returned Athens early morning and had a taxi booked for 0900 for a 1325 flight to the UK. We had loads of time and had to wait for the desks to open for our flight. 

Not much traffic that time on a Sunday. Sunday is day best for light traffic for sure.
The airport was busy, but it copes well, being newly built for the Olympics in 2000.

The fare, from memory, was around €45. Transfer took around 50 ish minutes. We had pre booked, but there were plenty of taxi’s at the rank at the cruise terminal.

Regards, Paul.
