We have booked up heading to Zante on 29th july.

We aim to travel to tripolis on wednesday 1st august & are flying back from Athens to london - london to edinburgh on saturday 4th

This is just a thread to see if any other Hibs fans have took a similar option?

We can get a bus / ferry to tripolis, but depending on number of hibs fans in the area we could possibly look into a mini bus. There is 5 of us travelling.

If anyone is still to book, this option still comes in reasonable with options to fly in to zante on 29th 31st and even the 1st of july all from edinburgh or glasgow.

Have the team from the Faroes conceded?

Obviously in the hope that we win the first qualifying round. If we fail, it will be a holiday. At £350 all in for 6 days i wont complain to much.

I was hoping to fly over on the Monday. Spend a few days in Zante then see if I can somehow get to Tripolis. Back of a bandwagon or something

Zante is an island is it not?
that would rule out a bus surely, ho frequent are the ferries and where do they dock?

interested in this route if we can get across no problem.

Bus. Ferry, Bus i believe.

I was given a number for zante bus station . And they said buses run daily and would cost around 40 euros in total to reach tripolis with a journey time of around 6 hours.

I've just booked Leeds to Zante on 1 August. It gets in at 1645 so I guess we'll be heading to Tripoli on the morning of the game.

There is a ferry at 1900, but that might be a stretch.

If others are traveling this route, give me a shout.

When do you arrive?

We still have nothing booked & as it stands will just look to get transport when over there. You can get a bus / ferry. They run a few times per day i understand. So unless there is a bit more interest that will likely be what we look to go.

We are booked in tripoli wednesday - saturday so hoping to travel on wednesday 1st.

Arrive Sunday night 29th July and looking to go from Zante to Tripoli’s on Thursday 2nd August don’t see any need to go the night before.

what do you/others think?

there seems to be enough of us to get transport from Zante to Tripoli’s in the day of the game, any others let’s get our hats in the ring and see what we can arrange.

We will be on the same flight. As we also arrive on Sunday 29th. We only booked 3 nights in Zante & then 3 in Tripolis

We booked Tripoli from Wednesday to Saturday. At the time we wanted to be there the day before as thought more Hibs fans would be in the area. After the trip to Copenhagen which was excellent, we wanted to be in the area a little bit earlier than the day of the game as its approx a 6 hour journey from Zante so would be a very long day.

So our plans at the moment would still be to travel on the wednesday.
