One can take the X95 bus from Syntagma square to the Airport. It takes no more than 45 minutes and costs 3.2 EUR. Only. As a plus, it is an equally wild ride, if not better
So, no need for an expensive airport hotel (Sofitel or Holiday Inn)
Riding the 3:45AM bus (they are very punctual) you'll be at the airport at 4:30AM. Next one is at 4:05AM, previous one at 3:20AM.

Athenian strikers always pre-announce their strikes well in advance. It makes sense since they use announcements as threats.

Interesting sites? In Ankara no less?? At 4AM, are you sure you weren't sleeping / dreeming of interesting sites?
