Athens can be one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Visitors to this sprawling metropolis will find that they have stepped
back into a time where magnificent buildings were constructed and when
people built temples for Gods. Athens can be a multidimensional
destination, where the must -see historical center is well combined with
the new modern Athens.Depending on the days you have to spend in Athens, you may choose the right district to stay.
If you are looking for hotels within close proximity to the Acropolis and Parthenon Temple, head to the Plaka District, which is the center of the old area of Athens, or Syntagma Area- Constitution Square - by the Parliament Building.
You can choose from affordable 2-3 star hotels & hostels or 4-5 start properties, some of them recently renovated, with a more old-fashioned or with a contemporary design touch. Tourists who stay in this area have direct walking access to the Acropolis, and are close enough to take a leisurely stroll through some of Athens' best market districts and the Ancient Agora.
Another perfect place to search for Athens hotels, is the Kolonaki area, a residential area located very close to the center of Athens, features a large variety of coffee shops, bars, restaurants and small boutique shops.
