After a long two days of flights, it was great to be picked up from the Airport and taken to the hotel. At first it was hard to find the driver at the Airport due to many transfers in the arrivals area but the contact person was able to find my driver and direct him to where I was. My driver was Alex and ht was very polite and helpful in explaining the areas we were traveling to giving me a great first impression of Athens. His driving through the narrow streets in the Plaka was impressive. He was very professional and a great representative for the company.
