Husband and I will be staying overnight at a Thesio hotel prior to joining a cruise; we arrive Friday morning. The hotel is a short walk from the Metro station (w/xFer to No 1 train at Monastiraki Station) so that seems a logical choice. We are also seasoned riders on the NYC subway and have never been pickpocketed.
- We will each have a checked bag and a backpack (and a hip pack or purse).
- Would it be inconvenient to have so much luggage on the train on a Friday morning (around 9-10 AM)?
- I assume we should both be able to sit down and will stack our pack on top of the luggage?
- How frequently do the No. 1 trains run? I think if I read the timetable correctly, there should be one every 10 minutes?
I plan to reserve with Welcome Pickups for the hotel to Piraeus transfer, but am afraid of having to prepay for the service if I exit immigration too late. We are seated in the last row of our 787 plane and don't know how long it will take to exit baggage claim.
Any advice will be appreciated; thanks in advance.
