What is a good one day family vacation?

Questions about my one day greek vacation,from athens international airport?

• planning to go to athens soon,what is the fastest and cheapest way from the airport and quickly visit the city in one day and then back to the airport next morning? should i get a cheap room at the end of the day or go back and stay overnight at the airport. also do lot of people speak english there, street signs etccc are they in english. does the public transportation one day pass include the ferrys to and from islands? any help, tips and suggestions are appreciated...

• Answer:

  There are both buses and train serving the airport. Either are not expensive. Faster is train. Depending the time you have, your best bet is to visit the center of the town and possibly the new Acropolis Museum. Day tickets do not include ferries for which you have not enough time, anyway. Signs are also in English and people do speak English. As for using a hotel for overnight stay directly relative to your next days departure. Usually flights demand presence more than an hour before departure for domestic ones , longer for international ones.
