Voice of Travelers to Athens
Outstanding vacation in Athens
I am Ken from Spain. Last winter, I took a break from work and flew to Athens for vacation. I had a dilemma in choosing the best airline to Athens until a colleague suggested the best airline that offered cheapest ticket to Athens. I bought a ticket to Athens online after the referral and buying the ticket online was cheaper compared to visiting the travel agents who sold their ticket more expensive. “When purchasing a ticket to Athens, it is advisable to purchase your ticket weeks prior to your departure, ticket are cheaper during this period”, he added. I traveled using Austrian Airlines who apart from being cheaper, also offered a 10% off their ticket for any ticket bought within the festive period. The travel experience and staying in Athens was awesome. Athens residents are very hospitable and friendly people. I came back rejuvenated and I am on course to achieve my goals and I would recommend any one to take a vacation in Athens. The city is beautiful and charming.

I had started planning early last year and timed for the cheapest ticket to Athens. I searched online for the cheapest ticket weeks prior my departure to Athens. Ticket to Athens are cheaper six weeks before your travel time and it is advisable to purchase your ticket weeks before traveling. Alitalia offered the cheapest ticket compared to other airlines.
