Flights £596 + hotel £116 + resort fee £21, taxes in · a checked bag each adds about £121
Ryanair · with a stop · 9h 5m
The catch: The flight has one stop and takes 9h 5m from Stansted, a checked bag is about $160 for two, and none of the three hotels offers free cancellation.
Worth it if you'll trade Friday to a one-stop flight for two Athens days; skip it if you only want a quick nonstop.
