Where to stay in Athens: the best areas

Plaka and Monastiraki

At the foot of the Acropolis there are small hotels in neoclassical houses, many with a rooftop terrace facing the Parthenon. Everything is within walking distance, though the streets fill with visitors by day.

Syntagma

Around Parliament Square are the grand classic and chain hotels, with the metro to the airport at the door. It is the most convenient base for a first visit.

Koukaki and Makrygianni

South of the Acropolis, next to its museum, there are apartments and cheaper boutique hotels on residential streets, with neighbourhood cafรฉs and tavernas.

Kolonaki

The smart district below Mount Lycabettus has design hotels, shops and restaurants. It is a little further from the ruins, about 20 minutes on foot.
