Athens Elefttherios Venizelos Airport by xuessium
Long queues at arrival. Horrid wait. 5 counters working and yet it seemed like eternity. Had to drop by Athens Airport a 2nd time on my way home and there was a strike by the airport staff!! Everything comes to a painful crawl!
Imagine the chaos and long queues at customs and security check. It feels like the entire Greece is fleeing Greece. People pushing and jumping queues. Horrid.
Trolleys inside the airport is not free. 2 Euros per use I think.
Numerous checking-in counters though and the only airport I know so far with its own archaeological museum.
Has a MacDonald with a great view of the landing strip from the 2nd floor. Plenty of eateries, souvenir shops and convenient stores but with the choking smell of cigarette smoke forever lingering in the air.The in-house archaeological museum no doubt! Wait for your plane and gain a little knowledge at the same time!
