A quick trip to Athens for work, and a chance to bask in the 30-degree heat of Southern Europe. Or at least, to sweat in a 30-degree meeting room for a day and a half. Last time I went to Greece was for a football trip, so this was a very different experience altogether. It started with a magnificent dinner in a hotel overlooking the sea, in the resort of Vougliameni, near to Athens. The courses kept coming until we thought we might burst - along with plenty of liquid refreshment as well, and all on a beautiful terrace in 20-degree heat at 11pm.
The following day, and onto the meeting part. The 2-hour time difference between the UK and Greece really hits hard when you have to be up, dressed, checked out of your hotel, and in a meeting, all by 9am Greek time (so 7am UK time). That felt extremely early! A sweaty meeting room for a day was not ideal, especially at 30-degrees with no air conditioning, but it was a good chance to escape the average weather in London for a couple of days.
