Metallica is performing at OAKA, the Olympic Athletic Center in Athens, on Saturday, May 9. The concert is not in Crete, but tourists currently on the island who wish to attend should plan for a short domestic flight or ferry connection to Athens. OAKA is located in Maroussi, north Athens, accessible by Metro Line 1 (Irini station). Gates typically open two to three hours before showtime, and the band is expected on stage in the evening. Visitors traveling from Crete for the show should book return transport in advance, as post-concert demand for flights and ferries back to the island can be high. Those staying in Crete are unaffected. Check the official event page for exact set times and any updated entry requirements before traveling.
