Where to Stay

The areas around the Acropolis, Glyfada, or Vouliagmeni beach!

Artemis Recommends: B4B Athens Signature Hotel! We love staying at this hotel – the rooms are great, the staff is phenomenal, and they have a rooftop area with a view of the Parthenon. The hotel gives you a working mobile phone to take around with internet and cell service as an added bonus!

The Athenian Riviera is one of the most beautiful parts of Greece! If you have time, drive down (or take a tour) to Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon.
