Hotel

To appreciate and explore a city as historic as Athens, you’ll need a special place to rest your head. Luckily, you’ll be staying in one of two luxurious hotels dotting the city. The Delphi Art Hotel is a beautiful neoclassical abode located near the National Theatre that oozes elegance. You can look forward to a comfortable stay with air conditioning, an en-suite, TV and hairdryer waiting in your spacious bedroom. The 4* Acropolis Museum Boutique Hotel offers yet more classic charms, this time at the base of the mighty Acropolis Hill. That means the Parthenon, Temple of Zeus, Hadrian Arch and more are all right on your doorstep! Parquet flooring, air con, free Wi-Fi, a balcony, flat screen TV, and plenty more ensure total relaxation after what’s sure to be plenty of walking. Wherever you stay, a delicious breakfast will greet you each morning.

Area

Many of Athens’ attractions can be found atop its hills or tucked away down its side streets, so break out your most comfortable shoes and get ready to explore on foot! Architectural gems are in good supply within the ancient city. The towering Acropolis, arguably the most significant ancient citadel in the Western world, is a must for any visitor. Filled with important temples like the Parthenon, no expense was spared in the acropolis’ construction over 2000 years ago – no wonder it still watches over Athens to this day. Walk in the footsteps of great philosophers like Socrates with a visit to the Agora, or head to Monastriaki Flea Market for a taste of modern Athenian life. If the call of the beach proves too strong, all you have to do is travel 10 miles south of the capital for the unspoilt sandy beaches, glistening mineral lakes and majestic mountains of the Athens Riviera. Don’t forget the nightlife though! The most buzzing bars and restaurants in the city are right on your doorstep - be sure to pay them a visit for an Ouzo or two at the end of the day.
