Athens hotels

Athens is a great destination for children. With myriad family-friendly sights and attractions as well as a beachfront location, Athens offers endless ways to keep the little ones entertained. Consider searching for a hotel in peaceful Kifisia, home to a park and natural history museum, or base yourself in the city centre in Plaka near the Acropolis. Glyfada is another attractive option due to its proximity to the beach and the large choice of budget-friendly hotels.

Much of the best Athens nightlife is clustered around the city centre, in Kolonaki, Psirri or Gazi. City Circus Athens is an excellent budget choice with hostel style accommodation in one of Athens’ old mansions. In summer, consider a hotel in the Glyfada area, where the nightlife picks up by the beach.

Kolonaki is the most famous area for shopping in Athens. The neighbourhood features a mix of designer boutiques and small shops selling antiques and local handicrafts such as Greek embroidery, ceramics, and folk art. The northeastern neighbourhoods of Halandri and Kifisia also offer good options for shopping. Hotels to consider include The Y Hotel in Kifisia and Athens Hilton, a short walk to the shopping streets of Kolonaki.

Travellers can fuel up on a tasty breakfast and plenty of tea and coffee before embarking on a full day of Athens sightseeing, by choosing a hotel that offers a premium morning spread, such as O&B Athens Boutique Hotel and Athens Center Square Hotel. Both offer complimentary breakfast with Greek specialties and continental options.

Getting the right venue for your work conference is important when you want to make an impression.
