A best location in Athens, attractive, luxury hotel. Roof terrace pool & restaurant with Acropolis views...Electra Palace Hotel

When you visit the famous and historic city of Athens, to be able to walk out of the grand lobby of your hotel and have every step count, you are already in the middle of camera-snapping views, buildings, ruins and the life and pulse of the place, means you will know you have chosen well. Plaka is the neighbourhood at the foot of the Acropolis and linking to the main Ermou shopping area and Syntagma (the Parliament) square.

Quality, small apartment hotel in the shadow of the Acropolis...Ava Hotel

A good hotel some savvy travelers have started discovering.

Apartments and suites are very spacious, with homely feel and kitchenettes for more convenience during long stays. Discreet, caring service. Good restaurants and tavernas nearby, in the quaint streets of Plaka.

Charming small hotel on Cathedral square near Plaka...Magna Grecia Hotel

In a refurbished traditional building on the edge of Plaka, with only a dozen rooms for the lucky few (who book in time). High-ceilinged bedrooms, nice fittings and wonderfully comfortable beds. All rooms at the front have views to the Acropolis, across the square. The roof terrace with the same views is a treat, for your breakfast or coffee. Great central location (near Monastiraki, Ermou street and Syntagma). Next to the Cathedral, so be warned you will hear the bells every hour!

Designer hotel with bright rooms & swimming pool ...Fresh Hotel

Off the center, between Omonoia and Psiri, near the Town Hall and the lively Central Market. Fresh Hotel has a colourful exterior and colour-themed room interiors. Standard rooms are small, executive rooms or suites more spacious. Start your day at the "Magenta" breakfast room, browse the intriguing items and meats in the nearby market, and a brisk walk later you are enjoying Plaka and the Parthenon. Then back again for cool lounging at the "Orange" bar or the "Air-Lounge" rooftop bar & cafe by the swimming pool with views to the city. If you have rented a car, the underground hotel parking will be a relief.

ATHENS: The city you must visit when you come to Europe and of course to Greece. The history, the Acropolis, the Parthenon, the museums and famous sights all beckon - but so do the colourful and quaint Plaka, Monastiraki, Psiri areas. With new-found confidence & brio, some infrastructure improvements and many new good restaurants & shops since the Olympics in summer 2004. Good transportation. Most sights are within walking distance if you stay in the centre (which we highly recommended!). If you are going further afield after your stay, rent a car at the end, so you don't have to worry about parking...Read our full >>Athens guide<<
