Greece Travel Guide/Hotels of Greece/Athens and Suburbs

Hotels in Athen

Location is important when choosing a hotel in Athens. I recommend being in or near the Plaka because you will be able to walk to just about all the important sites and entertainment areas of Athens. The hotels listed towards the top of each section are within walking distance of the Acropolis, Monastiraki, Syntagma and all the shopping and restaurant and cafe areas. As you go down the list you get further away from the historical center of the city and prices get lower(in many cases) but then you need to use the metro, taxis and the buses. So in other words they are listed in order of location with the best at the top. For more information on where to stay see the hotels page in my Athens Survival Guide. Hotels are listed by category from highest(5-star) to lowest. There are beach and suburban hotels at the bottom of this page. The hotels in Pireaus (the ferry port for Athens) are at the bottom too. M = Matt's Choice. That means I stayed there and liked or loved it.

You can e-mail me for specific hotel needs and recommendations.

If you have an early flight you don't need to stay near the airport. Traffic is light in the morning and you can be there from central Athens in 30 minutes. If you have an early ferry there is no reason to stay in Pireaus either. From Monastiraki metro station you can be in the port of Pireaus in 15 minutes.

You can find hotels in Athens by location, price, whether or not it has a swimming pool, and see photos and reviews by using this link to booking.com. Excellent prices and many hotels you can book and then cancel with no cancellation fee. For those who want to book without using a travel agency this is the best way to do it.

You can find hotels in Attika by location, price, whether or not it has a swimming pool or is on the beach, and see photos, maps and reviews by using this link to booking.com.

For transportation to your hotel from the airport I recommend George the Famous Taxi Driver of Athens

See Matt Barrett's Athens Survival Guide for more information on hotels and booking.

The islands of Aegina, Angistri and Poros are close enough to Athens so that you can stay there and do a day trip into the city and be home in time for a swim before dinner. Agia Marina in Aegina is less than half an hour from Pireaus by Flying Dolphin. So if you don't think you want to be in the city but you still want to see the city be sure to see Hotels in the Saronic Islands. Check also Corinth and Isthmia in the Peloponessos section which is only about an hour away from Athens. You can even stay on the island of Kea and do daytrips into Athens. It's an hour ferry ride to Lavrion and then an hour by car or taxi or an hour and a half by bus to Athens. You can even see Athens from Hydra if you use the Flying Dolphins or highspeed catamaras but it is not something you will want to do every day because it gets expensive.

You can e-mail me for specific hotel needs and recommendations.
