Hotels in Athens
Athens is both a destination and a gateway. Some visitors come for the Acropolis and the museums and leave after a long weekend; many more pass through on the way to the islands, with a night or so in the city before the ferry or the onward flight. Business travellers, conference delegates and people visiting family add to the mix. The catalogue is unusually heavy on apartments, which suits the island-hopping crowd, and the central districts are compact enough that a hotel near the sights also puts you near the metro.

Staying in Athens
The Acropolis stands in the middle of the city, and the districts a visitor uses cluster around it: Plaka on its northern and eastern slopes, Monastiraki with its flea market to the north, Syntagma Square and the parliament to the north-east, and Koukaki on the quieter southern side. Kolonaki climbs the hill beyond Syntagma and is where the galleries and smarter cafes are. Piraeus, the port for the islands, is a separate town on the coast to the south-west. Athens International Airport lies well to the east of the city, out on the plain near Spata, and the road in crosses the hills before dropping into the eastern suburbs. A private transfer from the airport to your hotel is on this page and can be booked through AI Concierge, which is worth considering if you land late or are carrying luggage for the islands. If the Acropolis is the reason for the visit, stay in Plaka, Koukaki or around Syntagma and walk. If you are catching an early ferry, a hotel in Piraeus or along the metro line towards it saves a cross-city dash in the morning. Business visitors often prefer Syntagma and Kolonaki for the offices and embassies.
