Hi, for anyone who has been on this tour ...

Did you find that you had enough time in Athens? I read somewhere on this website that 1 day is enough to see all of Athens.

My travel agent suggested I book an extra hotel night in Athens after the tour because I would have to leave the hotel in the middle of the night (1am) to catch a 4am flight even though that hotel night is included in the tour. I'm thinking that even if I book another hotel night, I'd still have to leave at 4am that next day anyways ...

So I'm wondering if another day spent in Athens is worth the cost of a hotel ($189) or whether that would be a waste of money and I would have already spent enough time in Athens during the actual tour?

Thanks in advance.

I think Athens is a lot bigger than people think. If you're in a hotel that's well located 'Plaka' area than you can see alot in one day. But it really comes down to if you're really interested in spending the time there.
I haven't been on this tour, but this is the advice I was given from someone who used to live there.
