A rough plan, not a spreadsheet

4 nights in Athens, two ways

  1. Day 1

    Land and get straight into it

    Morning
    Drop bags in Koukaki, then out the door in twenty minutes.
    Afternoon
    Walking tour of your own making: the food, the viewpoint, the photo everyone wanted.
    Night
    Dinner, then the bar the internet won't shut up about.
  2. Day 2

    The big day out

    Morning
    Day trip out of Koukaki. Alarm set, actually.
    Afternoon
    Two sights, one absurd lunch.
    Night
    Shower, revive, back out. Nobody sits down.
  3. Day 3

    The Athens main event

    Morning
    Book the thing this place is known for. Yes, in advance.
    Afternoon
    Explore Plaka properly instead of scrolling about it.
    Night
    The night out. Ground rules agreed in advance, ignored by midnight.
  4. Day 4

    Last push, then flights

    Morning
    The one thing someone's been asking for all trip.
    Afternoon
    A final coffee and the group's best photo of the week.
    Night
    Airport, aching legs, immediate plans for next year.

Steal it, ignore it, or hand it to the friend who insists on a spreadsheet.
