What Omar has to say about Athens airport:

I had a great time in Athens, Greece. No problem, the people of Athens speak several languages and they were very nice to tourist. Parking space are hard to find, but not impossible, so I suggest when renting a car, to rent a small car or you will loose many opportunity for parking in a free parking. Garage parking are expensive, but I did not need to use them.
