Good suggestion. I don’t think the tourist ticket can be purchased on line or from the ticket machines at the airport. It looks to me as if you can only buy it from a ticket office at the airport. Anybody know any different?
Worth a read - €20 three day pass looks the best option for anyone not staying longer

When you get to the train station at Athens there's a pretty big ticket office (on the left hand side as enter the station)
I've always bought my train tickets there rather than use the machines - staff are used to tourists and speak excellent English - although a please (parakaló) and thank you (efcharistó) never did any harm.....

13:15 out on Weds from Gatwick. Home on the Friday evening 21:50 flight. Staying at A for Athens.

You'd need to do at least six single (90-minute) journeys while you're there to make this better value, I think. Or eight if you get the convoys rather than metro to and from the ground. Airport is 5.50 each way, then 1.20 a metro journey.

Pretty sure it's €9.00 from Airport into the City Centre (single)

Just checked this .....
Metro Line 3 connects the airport to the city centre (Syntagma Square). The journey time is approximately 40 minutes. Trains run every 30 minutes, 7 days a week from 6:30 am to 11:30 pm. One way tickets cost €9 (€4.50 for children, teenagers, over 65), return tickets cost €16.
So the €20, 3 day ticket, which includes return trip to/from Airport looks like the best bet....

Airport bus is €6 each way and takes 40 mins.
TBH even if it worked out 3 or 4 euros more than buying tickets individually, I'd probably still do it to avoid the faff of buying one for every trip
Aside from the airport round trip I can see myself doing a few others (ticket collection and sightseeing) anyway

Quality over quantity
This is what we're doing too. Filthy cheap flights doing it that way.
We are just deciding where to head into Milan or get a lounge pass for those 6 hours and try not to get kicked out from the free booze...
Or “one beer in the De Wallen area of Amsterdam” as I like to think of it.

Hello fellow Seagulls 
I’m pretty certain I’ll be the only one on this particular travel itinerary, but:
Outbound 7am 28/11 LHR on SwissAir via Geneva;
Staying at Athens Backpackers;
Return 3pm 2/12 on SwissAir via Geneva to LHR.
In the unlikely event anyone is on either of these flights/staying in the same accommodation, let’s meet for a drink! Same for the match; I won’t be attending, so if anyone is in the same situation we could find somewhere to watch the game.
Whatever your plans are, I hope you all enjoy!

If not a lot of Albion have bought directly from AEK in block 8. There's a direct email if you fancy that?
If you want to go to the game, good chance you still can.

No, I wasn’t able to get a ticket in the away end.
I‘ll have a look into the block 8 recommendation though. Will I find the email on the AEK website?
Thank you for the advice

You won’t really have time to do much in Milan but if I had one hour in Milan I’d head for the magnificent cathedral, the Duomo. Or at the very least, find a place to sit and have a beer and admire it.
