Going to make this our family holiday next year.

Got return direct flights with Seats reserved and checked bags for €480 for us both and the one year old. Booked with Aegean.

Have booked 11 nights in a seaside suburb called Glyfada on the Athens Riviera. Tram outside the hotel info the city centre in 40 Minutes.

There will be time for sight seeing, catching friend around the match and down time with the family. Tram also goes to Pireaus so might go to an island for a day.

Seems to be a lot of seafront areas to the South of the city that will provide a good mix of holiday destination with accessibility to the city for tours and the match.

Took a one year old to Athens a few years back and had a mare! Quality city obviously but I wouldn't say esp "family friendly". 
Stroller was difficult with being so busy and the mad broken paths. Weren't many places at least centrally that it felt ok to let him wander a bit so he was mostly annoyed. Gang tried to rob us on that tram you're talking about. We also went from Piraeus on a ferry and my son shat all over our cabin, and generally went mental for the whole journey!

But...once we got settled at a nice resort in Crete we were happy out, so you'll be grand out in a seaside place I'm sure.

Taking a one year old anywhere is a disaster, always seem a good idea to try and get away and then disaster strikes. sh*tting all over the cabin is a belter though LOL.

I'm currently weighing up whether to take my 6 year old with me.  She loves getting away but Athens seems massive with loads of walking, but she is right into the football now so would enjoy the main event at least. The 4  and 2 year olds being left behind might be raging,  but no way am I taking them all.

Tha Algarve would seem a better bet for bringing young kids unless your Gerry or Kate.

Yeah always a disaster alright, yet for years we always lived in hope that the next time it would be grand. 
But I've now made my peace being a sh ite tourist. Don't care about seeing anything. Happy out spending the day on a sun lounger on some generic Med coast, and not dragging screaming kids through dusty old ruins. A nearby waterpark is as far as I'll venture now.

4 of us are staying in the Melia Athens anyway.

I had booked the Elikon which was a great price and central but changed to the nearby Melia for it's rooftop bar and view of the Acropolis. Thumbs Up

Anyone ever got the ferry from Athens to Ios? Got a wedding there on the Sunday thought this might be a nicer option than flying

did this over the summer and was completely fine, nice ferry which reminded me of a HSS. They can be pretty pricey is the only thing, I had to pay the guts of 80 quid!

Any update at all when they might confirm city? bit reluctant to spend that much on flights with the risk it might be elsewhere.
