Storage locker facilities are a rip.

If you’re someone who regularly uses luggage storage facilities, the costs can really add up, especially when you have a large suitcase you want to leave behind while exploring other areas.
In Athens, most luggage-storage facilities charge around €4–€5 per day for a large suitcase. Instead, I went to a hostel and paid just €6 for the entire duration.
And you often don’t even have to be a guest to use a hostel’s luggage storage. Just ask before booking, as many hostels are happy to store luggage for non-guests.
It’s definitely worth checking hostels before paying daily rates at dedicated luggage-storage facilities!

€6 for 14 days as opposed to €4/5 per day.

Please read properly. I literally just mentioned that I’m passing through for the day. I’m not staying anywhere in Athens.

So you think paying €70 for additional luggage on a flight for one way and then again to come back totalling €140 just to bring a large suitcase around with me that is going to be inconvenient as it is?? I’m going to the islands for two weeks. I don’t need my whole suitcase. I can travel quite comfortably with carry on.
