The Achilleas Hotel is a mid-range property in central Athens, within a 20-minute walk to the Parthenon and Acropolis. The hotel has a nice, modern lobby and cozy breakfast room.
There are 34 spacious, homey rooms at the hotel, though the bathrooms in some only have handheld shower heads and no curtains, which can make for a wet floor. There aren’t a lot of amenities, but the hotel does serve an American breakfast buffet (included in the room rate) and offers free Wi-Fi in the lobby. Guests may also want to look into the Hera Hotel, an upper-mid-range hotel in Plaka, with pretty rooms and a rooftop restaurant.

Airotel Parthenon is a mid-range property with 79 rooms over five floors, decked out in simple white decor with brown/green furnishings. It’s extremely convenient for all the major sightseeing of Athens: The Parthenon, Temple of Olympians, Plaka, and the metro are all within walking distance. It’s not the fanciest of hotels and could do with a fresh lick of paint in some places but, considering the view of the Acropolis at night from the rooftop, it might be worth the money. The Dorian Inn, a five-minute drive north, has similar Acropolis views and a rooftop pool for cheaper rates.
