you're planning to attend the Olympic Games in Athens and Greece, 2004,
you may wish to find accommodation that is within easy reach of the
Olympic venues that match your interest.
Getting around Athens
It's relatively easy getting around
Athens using the metro, trolley buses, or taxis. All public
transport is very cheap with many ticket options available. Driving is fine
if you can read the Greek alphabet, have a strong sense of humour, and
infinite patience. You will require advanced parking skills.
The car horn is used as a matter of course in
Athens - with an infinite number of meanings; not just a warning
sound.
Points to note:
You can purchase tickets for the trolley
buses at the small kiosks on the main roads. On entering the bus,
these tickets must be validated using the machine in the bus. You will
see other passengers doing this.
Taxis are an easy way to get around
Athens. Negotiate your fare on entry.
