Isn't it a great idea to fly from Athens to the islands?

Come on and read my story

We arrived at Athens Airport.

Is the small size of our plane a joke? Two rooms, one living room and one place. This is the smallest plane I have ever been on in my life. Even the cockpit door is open and I can see the pilot.

Come on, we're flying. Forgive me,

I think we're flying, so hopefully,

It's not a fun flight at all, I just want to say that much

It's not a good idea to fly to the islands, guys, should you swim there?

I can't understand what the pilot is saying, his English is very bad.

We boarded the plane on 20.15 and this flight should have lasted 70 minutes. It's 21.56

We have been in the air for 1 hour and 45 minutes, so what should have happened, we couldn't get off the plane for half an hour.

Finally land appeared. Do you know what the captain just announced? “The weather is a little bad, it will get worse.”

It's 10.10am, so we're landing almost an hour after the promised time.

How big is this island, it shines brightly everywhere.

Now let's get to the real deal...

The next day, we are at the airport again with my friend, also in Athens.

I will write this as if I were sitting at the airport and telling it.

Last night we arrived at our beautiful airport and boarded our plane.

We landed with a delay of about 55 minutes after our endless plane journey. In between, an announcement was made and the man said things like the rain is bad, the weather is bad, Oh, it will get worse, etc. We couldn't understand it either, but his English was very bad and he spoke like Greek. Also, the voice comes from the bottom, we choose words from it, it's only in English, then we understood "bad weather" etc.

We got off the plane and found my suitcase as a result of a miracle of God. By the way, they didn't make an announcement for the suitcase.

We took off and took a taxi. The taxi driver insists he doesn't understand, he doesn't speak English very well. He's not very good, he doesn't seem to speak much English, and we open the map and it says, "This place is far, 6 hours from here to there." And we say, How 6 hours, sir? Our hotel is half an hour's walk from the airport. Because such information exists.

So I pasted our street on the map and handed it to the man. I saw that he gave me half an hour away because my friend said, "Oh no, it's this place." He doesn't understand anything. At least I showed him the patisserie and he said the same thing again for about 6 hours.

Meanwhile, we fought for 15 minutes. Then, for a very short time, we started moving towards a place that was half an hour away and I still don't understand how it happened, and at that time, I shot a little video like this, you know, life is returning to normal.

As we were going to our address, a voice came from my friend: "Let me open the normal map to this guy, because I have never been convinced, I mean, I am not convinced of anything."

At that time, we were driving on the road, but I started to see green signs like this. We got to the main road, I got nervous and opened the map, and when we thought we had already boarded the plane from Athens and landed in Corfu, the sentence from my friend was "We are in Athens".

I was so angry at the man, for a minute I kept asking him "Do you know this island?"

How can we be in Athens, we enlarge it on the map, we are really in Athens. That's why we flew for 2 hours.

Then we returned to the airport. Of course, the man is also going crazy, he has been waiting in the taxi queue for 5 hours, it's a disgrace.

We went to the Departure section and I remembered that all the people were asking us something. “What will happen next?” While we were waiting for luggage, everyone came to us and said, "What will happen, what will we do now?"

And we say, "I don't know, we'll go out, we'll visit the island."

Oh, what a disgrace…

Such an adventure, but at the same time we thought we were in Corfu, the minute we were in Athens, I sent a message to my mother saying "I landed in Corfu, don't worry". And I say, look, look! How is this Ada, she is huge. So the airport is also big, the roads are also very big.

I don't understand at all, I mean, of course I didn't understand that we were in Athens because we were leaving from another part of Athens airport.

A Spanish couple also got into a taxi like us, and the funnier part was that no one whose language was not Greek understood what was happening on the plane.

A Spanish Couple behind us got into a taxi, they thought they were in Corfu, and the taxi driver said to them, "It will take 6 hours to get here", hahahaha

So scary.... For some reason, we were delayed the next day, of course.
