Update: We had to can this trip as flights were too expensive
and the economic crisis really kicked in.

Over the (Western) Easter weekend in 2009, we're planning
to be in the Greek capital city of Athens. I've not been to
Athens for something like 20 years - so it'll be nice to be
back. By all accounts, Athens has changed hugely since then
- most especially since the Athens Olympics. Improvements in
infrastructure since and a car-free zone will probably make
a substantial part of the city unrecognizable.
Of course, the Acropolis and, most especially, the Parthenon
will still be there - atop the hill.
Long weekend in Athens

From Zürich, we will be taking the near-three hour Swiss International Airlines flight from Zürich Airport to Athens International Airport.
