Ljubljana-Belgrade-Athens

Typical morning, bathroom, breakfast, sister driving me to airport Brnik. While waiting for the check-in flight (no online check-in in Ljubljana) to Belgrade was delayed half an hour. After security and passport control, I had time to spend. Went for a cigarette, toilet, and sat a bit.

We boarded a small propeller ATR 72-600 ALX airplane. Now it was flight time, short, a bit over 1 hour, 2nd row, an empty seat next to me, short leg space. They served a small bottle of water and legendary Plazma cookies.

For a connecting flight to Athens, I didn’t need another security check but still, there was control at the gate, boarding by rows. There I ate a homemade sandwich, had a cigarette (just one area in the whole airport), and sat a bit. Because of the first flight delay, I didn’t need to wait long to board, but we waited for some passengers on the plane.

The next flight was similar, but a bigger jet plane A320-200 APO with better leg space, and service, got water and cookies and bought Zaječar beer and a cookie 5 €. For both flights from Ljubljana over Belgrade to Athens by AirSerbia I paid 125€.

On arrival, it was time to move to the city with a metro to Stigma station, a 16 € return ticket. Because delay I missed first train and then the 45-minute ride.

From Syntagma station short walk to AirBnB, but I continued to the Acropolis museum, 25 €. I just got there in time before closing as the last visitor. Good choice to renew their knowledge of Greek history before a next-day visit to this site. The big new museum, open space, historical progress, many statues, Acropolis setup, movie, terrace with view, no pics in one area.

Finally, I got to accommodation, the Cave 45 €, basement, good location, clean, many amenities, like wine and cake.

It was time for dinner, walked around the tourist part of Plaka, where many shops, restaurants, street performers, and homeless. Finally found something cheap, gyros pitta for 2.5 €. Back to the room to finish the wine. b
