I am so sorry, Janet! I can't believe I messed up on your name. I am going to use the convenient excuse of jet lag! My original post was actually at some ungodly hour local time, since I haven't gotten my time zones anywhere close to sync'd yet. Typing now from a laptop, instead of a phone, so hopefully I can be more clear. My wife and I flew in yesterday (ANC-SEA-AMS-FRA-ATH=very long day). We are staying in Stoupa. We both fly out on the 5/2, but my wife is returning home on an earlier flight (7am), while I am off to meet a family member in Budapest, and my flight doesn't depart until the late afternoon (5pm). I would like to go with her to the airport for her departure to home.
So we will leave Stoupa the morning of the 1st, and stay somewhere in the greater Athens area. I had NO idea about World Labour Day. I will definitely start looking into what our options will be for sightseeing that day.
I'm sure this doesn't clear my OP up too much:(. After your first post I thought of just taking the car to the airport on 5/1, and then the bus back in, but with the Holiday....perhaps our options are worse than I realized.
Well, travel is always an adventure!
Thank you again for the prompt reply, and once again, my apologies for my less than cogent ones.
