Hotels in the Center of Athens

The Parthenon, a landmark of Greek civilization, towers above the bustling city of Athens. As the capital city of Greece, the city itself is a major tourist attraction, and has a lively central district. To be near all this activity and have easy access to many attractions, travelers to Athens usually choose hotels in the center of the city. There are a variety of accommodations, from cheap to extravagant, but all provide the most important thing: walking access to all the sights in downtown Athens.
