Boat

Several Greek shipping companies maintain daily connections between Italy and Greece. 

You could get a boat from Ancona or Brindisi to Patras and then a 2 hour bus ride (20€) to Athens. You can buy a "deck" ticket and camp out on the deck in a sleeping bag, a cabin ticket, or an airline seat.

 

Athens has its main port in Piraeus, where you can visit or return from most of the Greek islands.

 

Car

To all our Bulgarian/Romanian/Macedonian/Albanian friends who wish to visit by car, the way to Athens is pretty straightforward, especially the last 500km from Thessaloniki. Before that, your own your own buddy. There are many toll booths in that last 500km so except to pay about 30 euros in tolls (one way).

 

Parking near the Blade House is not gonna be a problem.
