Syntagma is very close to the Greek parliment, and is a stop on the excellent subway, for those stopping, In Athens the stops to get off for the Plaka and local history, restaurants ,bars etc are Monastriki and Ackopoli stops, the subway is easy efficient and very cheap

7:30 am pick up oh no

7:30 am pick up oh no

Its the early kick off! The alternative is to have a lie in, go 2/3 hours later, but arrive with little time to see anything of Volos and soak up the match atmosphere.

Should have added that coaches will drop everyone off at the harbour area, which apparantly has plenty of good bars & restaurants, about lunch time. We will then be departing from the harbour 1645 hrs to arrive at the stadium in plenty of time for the 1800 hrs kick off.

[SuperStella]

Thats fine with our crew Paul - was a bit concerned we wouldnt get as much time as we hoped in Volos but with those times then my fears are allayed. Should be there for dinner!

Dinner!!! game kicks off at 18:00, surely we should be there for lunch.

It might be in Tory blue Harrogate but where I was brought up dinner is at 12 o clock and tea at 5 o clock!

Having just spent over two weeks driving round northern & central Greece ( + other previous visits), unless you are familiar with that part of the world , give yourself plenty of time , because it seems that apparent small distances in that part of the world take absolute ages. It took me around about 3 hrs to get from Thessaloniki to meteora and Volos is quite away further. If you know the roads then tell me to shut up, just trying to be helpful

[brfcs5359]

via michellin gives the times and road types and it says straight motorway for 190km of the 210km. The map shows it straight to and we've heard from someones it is an easy run down. If we set off early, it will leave plenty of time to get lost, find ourselves, and get lost again LOL.

Really looking forward to it. Glad we picked Thess down but wish (sigh) I was in Athens as well with other Rovers fans doing the Acroplis and all those other evening trips that keep getting sent into my mailbox...

[london-rover]

going wednesday coming back friday ,heathrow to paris to athens, same on the way back.

.. The night time tour (with romantic meal) looks lovely if you have seen it just to rub it in LOL!.. there are various tours around the City which look great.. My only regret is i've not enough holidays to stay for the week.

I could always send you some photo's of Athens Graham?.. Personally I think I would have rather have stayed in Volos now it looks lovely from the photo's i've seen

[wisweller]

Ticket office says Larissa tickets a definite for tomorrow ( but advise ringing first just to check )

Really looking forward to it. Can't come soon enough. Nothing beats watching the blues in Europe and at last we have a manager who is taking it seriously. Wonder how many will go. We took 600 to Salzburg last year in this round? At least the first Rd draw has been kind we got some where that is warm Kimberley.

Your rubbing it in. Gutted I'm not in Athens with ya but we didn't want to travel up all that way up and it's a bit pricey on the bus on top of everything else. Just think, you could have took us out on one of those night tours with romantic meal and shown us that Aphrodite (Greek goddess of love and beauty) isn't a stone stiff but wearing a blue white halved shirt! LOL Totally gutted!! ... We'll have to meet up in Volos and have a laugh..

I'm excited now too, can't wait to go.

I'm staying in the Marina Hotel with the usual lot I travel with. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is sharing a room with Big Tez again saying that could be worse I could be sandwiched between Birdy and Annette LOL! No doubt I'll end up asleep in the Parthenon (Temple of Athena the Virgin).. how appropriate

Would be great if we had a giant Blue and White shirt like the Geordies barcode shirt which they stuck over the Angel of the North to put over Aphrodite

The Greek goddess of love.. maybe just maybe i'll find some then LOL!
