Your choice of neighborhood in Athens affects the atmosphere, noise, climbs and proximity to the metro. Choose according to your travel style, not just the room price.
Plaka
Central and beautiful, ideal for a first visit, but crowded and more expensive.
Syntagma
Convenient for transport, shopping and getting from the airport. Check the exact street and the noise level.
Koukaki
A local atmosphere and proximity to the Acropolis. Check climbs and distance from the metro.
Monastiraki and Psyrri
Great for restaurants and nightlife, but some streets are noisy until late.
Before You Book
