Artifacts from under the airport

by gilabrand

Exhausted from your Greek adventures and facing a night-time layover at Athens airport?

Most people try to catch some shut-eye. But the seats in the downstairs part of the airport are metal and very uncomfortable. From personal experience, here is another suggestion: Go up to the second floor and stretch out on the comfy upholstered couches outside the restaurant (it closes down at night). When I was there, the whole upper floor was quiet and empty.

Before you doze off, visit the archaeology museum, also on the second floor. It is small but moderately interesting, and helps to put some of what you've seen in context. It is certainly better than sitting around twiddling your thumbs.
