    A trip to Olympic facilities

    Posted by JoanRichards 16 October 2005

    After the huge success of the best Olympics that Greece organised last year, a trip around the legendary facilities where famous athletes broke records, it is a must when visiting Athens.

    Taking the metro and tram it's the best way to do it, probably allow half to one day for that and it is worth it, especially this amazing arcitecture and style!

    In various places in Athens, from Pireas to the north of Athens where the Olympic village is.
    A day ticket for metro and tram is essential and cheap.
