Greek Islands 2025

[NiceAunt]

Just booked the Greek Islands Cruise round trip Athens/Athens for August/September 2025.   We will probably go to Athens a day or two ahead of time to allow for travel delays, etc.  Has anyone gone to Athens a day or so early?  If so, where did you stay?

I would recommend at least 2 days in Athens for potential delays. We had people on our cruise delayed twice. Plus..things to do! We stayed at Hera Hotel. Liked the location.  Decent price.

We stayed at the Athens Hilton before a cruise a few years ago.  It is a very modern hotel with an excellent restaurant.  We were able to walk to the Plaka, a distance of about a mile and a half.  We always go to a cruise at least a day before sailing.  I'd suggest two days to help you deal with the jet lag.

We stayed at Hera Hotel, too.  It was a good experience!
