Athens City Centre is an excellent base for your Athens getaway. Secure a room in a nice hotel and spend your time checking out highly regarded attractions such as Parthenon and Ancient Agora of Athens. Thissio is another good option. Spend your evenings here and Ancient Agora of Athens and Monastiraki Flea Market will be within easy reach of your hotel.

If you’re planning to stay in the Athens City Centre neighbourhood, some of your best options are Wyndham Grand Athens and Royal Olympic Hotel. Koukaki is also a popular Athens area. We recommend Divani Palace Acropolis or Herodion Athens if you choose this end of town.
