Anybody staying in Tripoli or are the majority of fans in Athens?

Also anybody looking to share a taxi to Tripoli who arrives on the Wednesday morning.

Majority be my reckoning will be in Athens with buses down to Tripoli amounting to around 250 supporters, there will be a fair amount down in Tripoli aswell though as hotels seemed to sell out very quickly when tie was first announced

We're staying in Tripoli post match. Hoping to be part of some post-match celebrations in the town and didn't fancy a 2 hour+ bus journey back to Athens with a belly full of Ouzo and Souvlaki.

I have a Hotel room book in Tripolis in the Alex Hotel for the Wednesday night £69, its a twin room and I no longer need it as I'm staying in Athens, just going to cancel it unless somebody on here wants it.

Although I'm not sure how I'd transfer the names etc.


Any takers?

We're staying in Tripoli on match night for the same reasons, although I'm not convinced a 2.5 hour journey on Friday morning will be much better!

Planning on staying in Tripolis on mach night, assuming the match is still on with all of these wild fires. Noticed last week that one or two of the Tripolis hotels have significantly hiked their prices for match night and the nights preceding / following it - over double in some instances. Thankfully we booked before they caught on that there was a game on!

I am travelling to Tripoli on the Wednesday. There are three of us. Do you still have space for one way and how much is it?

Anyone staying at arcadia hotel I would phone the hotel to confirm your booking , I booked the minute the draw had been made but after reading that most people were opting for Athens I phoned to cancel the booking to be told that I never had a booking in the first place, spoke to someone on a hibs facebook page and it happened to him as well.
I have emailed confirmation of the original booking.

Hi all,

Still got 3 seats on our minibus going to Tripoli as the people we had have changed their plans.

We are leaving central Athens at 10:30 on the Wednesday. Total cost is 154 euro so split between 8 folk that would be under 20 euro each.

Coming back we are leaving Tripoli very early morning to catch our 06:30 flight from Athens to Stansted if anyone wanted to join us. All in it would be 40 euro return.

Bugger!! First chance I’ve had to look today. If anybody else is looking to share transport to Tripoli on Wednesday morning then I’m interested. I am going with my two sons.

There is a local bus that travels from Athens to Tripoli every hour.

I wouldn't advise any Hibs fans to travel to Tripoli. You might end up being "rescued" from a rubber dinghy off the coast of Libya!

We’re on the club charter and we are staying in the Mainalon Resort in Tripoli’s city centre.

Cool. That's where we are.

Is that the official hotel?

There’s 50 fans on the charter plus players, officials and press so suspect there will be more than 1 hotel as the Mainalon isn’t that big.

Only 50 fans? Assumed there would be more as 80 went to Faroes?

Could be a smaller plane or less of an uptake.

Maybe a lot of fans had already sorted out their transportation to Greece. It was announced quite late as well

I take it nobody is arriving on Wednesday morning and looking to get to Tripoli. I’m about to book a car for three (more expensive) but can book a car that holds more if people want to share.

My brother and I are seriously considering booking flights to Athens and a hotel in Tripoli tonight. The flight we're looking at gets in at Athens at 11:20 on Wednesday from Gatwick. Could you let me know more about your plans as I'm definitely interested in this? It would have to be able to take a folded up wheelchair though but I don't see this being a huge issue.

We arrive at 9.30 all going well and was looking at transfers and been quoted £106 pounds for three passengers and I can enquire back about 5 seats with a wheelchair. I let you know the quotes I get.

Not sure as the site I used gets quotes from a few companies. Looking back at the quotes, one was for an eight seater for £115 one way. When are looking to go back? I’m leaving early on the Friday and only going back to Athens, not the airport.

The flight we've been looking at on the way back is at 12:05 Greek time on Friday.

When are you flying home?

Not until the Saturday, but spending a day sightseeing or dragging my two sons around the sights of Athens.

Ahh right. It will be no bother getting to the airport anyway as long as we're back in Athens, we can just get a taxi.
