Pentecost Sunday in Athens - June 8 2025

I just realized that our last full day in Greece falls on Pentecost Sunday. We will be getting off our cruise ship that morning. I was planning to go into Athens that day before traveling to Hotel Avra in Rafina (not far from the airport). But with this being a major church holiday, I'm thinking maybe we should go directly from Piraeus to Rafina and spend a leisurely day in this coastal town. For anyone who has experience with this or other holiday weekends in Athens, would you recommend that we avoid Athens center city? Thank you!

Not only is Sunday a holiday but Monday, June 9, is also a national holiday, Whit Monday, so you’ll have to deal with that as well.
