Athens has an excellent range of accommodation on offer, ranging from the most basic and cheapest form of backpacker hostels to the most luxurious hotels boasting five-star facilities.

Accommodation in the city is normally good value for money, with discounts for families and plenty of choice in the lower to mid-price range for those on a budget. Youth hostels and guesthouses are also common, with some even offering accommodation on the roof of their building.

When to visit

While advance booking is recommended in the high season (July to August) and essential if you want to stay at a particular hotel, visitors are guaranteed of finding something at the last minute during other times of the year.

Where to stay

There is a vast choice of areas to stay in the city, with hotels being widespread and connected to attractions via the extensive metro system. The 19th century quarter of Pláka is an intriguing place to stay, with its Turkish influences, neoclassical architecture and museums; while to the north are the bazaar areas of Athinás and Eólou, which are great for shopping.

Quieter areas can be found near the National Gardens, in the upmarket district of Kolonáki and in Lykavitós, all of which make for a great escape from the bustle of the inner city.
