If you're booking hotels then don't book anything in the Omonia neighbourhood of Athens, that area is awash with junkies, hookers and alcoholics.

 

There is a good metro line from Athens Airport into Syntagma square, use it.  However, don't rely on the metro system to get you around the city to different destinations as some lines/stations are sometimes out of use.  Don't try to navigate your way around the city on foot, Athens is a maze of narrow sidestreets and alleyways, you'll get lost.  Get a taxi.  Like any other city in the world there are honest taxi drivers and not so honest taxi drivers but you'll just have to live with it.

 

Bars are quite expensive in Athens, you'll pay 5 Euros for a beer in most pubs.  When Dundee Utd played there we all just congregated in Syntagma Square, there are two little stalls at the bottom of the square where you can buy cold cans of Heineken and Amstel for normal shop prices and as long as you don't get too rowdy the police will let you drink cans in the square.

 

There are thousands of stray dogs running around Athens but they're mostly harmless.

 

I hope that helps.

Anybody know if their fans are crazy f***ing ultra weirdo c***s who'll try and kill us? Will probably affect whether i go.

 

You'll probably be told to meet in Syntagma Square then two hours before the game you'll get herded onto buses and taken to the stadium under armed police guard.  They'll look after you.  There are lots of teams in Athens and they all hate eachother, if the police don't protect you then the other fans will.  We found the Olympiakos fans to be very friendly when we were playing AEK.

One of their fan groups is called the Fedayeen . . . Make of that what you will.  :lol:

It's actually Fentagin. They're a relatively small club but have a good core fanbase. I would say there's nothing much to worry about, especially given they've never really played in Europe.
