There's no doubt about it, Greece to Australia is a long, long flight. Around 17 hours flying time and another 8 hours in transit at Athens, Singapore and then Melbourne airports. From Ithaca, you can also add almost an extra day going by ferry to Patras and then car or bus to Athens. By the time we reach Singapore, most of the Greeks on the flight head straight to the smoking areas. 10+ hours without nicotine has them scrambling and then running, not walking, from the shoot. Non-smokers took the travelators. The transit area is a commercial hub. Buy, buy, buy. Eat, eat, eat. A veritable city inside a city. Now spit out that gum. This is Singapore. |
