The experience
The last thing I saw from my hotel lobby was the faded blue of a street sign in Athens, sunlight bouncing off it in that way it only does when you’re leaving. Our driver, Yannis, stood just inside the doors, holding a little sign with my name (spelled right, which felt like a good omen). He greeted me in English but switched to Greek for the porter. There was something comforting about that mix of languages. My suitcase wheels made this clack-clack on the marble as we headed out, and honestly, I felt lighter knowing someone else had the logistics handled.
I’d worried about Athens traffic, but Yannis seemed unfazed. We talked a bit about the city. He pointed out a bakery where he gets koulouri every morning (I still can’t pronounce it right), then let me just watch the city slide by. The car smelled faintly of lemon from some air freshener or maybe just someone’s lunch earlier, hard to say. Air conditioning was perfect, not freezing like some places. I charged my phone (they had cables ready) and uploaded one last photo using the WiFi. About halfway to Athens International Airport, Yannis asked if I needed water or anything for the flight. It’s those small things you remember later.
He dropped me right at my departure terminal and helped with my bags: no rushing or awkward waiting around. The whole private transfer from Athens city center took maybe 40 minutes? Could’ve been less. Time is weird when you’re leaving somewhere you liked. There was this moment before I walked inside where I almost wanted to stay in the car a bit longer, just listening to him talk about his favorite beach outside the city. Anyway… smoothest part of my trip by far.
