Plaka Hotels in Athens, Greece

Plaka Hotels in Athens, Greece
Located in the capital of Greece, Athens, Plaka is the historic district at the very heart of the city, sitting in the shadow of the ancient Acropolis. A popular tourist destination, Plaka is full of ancient sites to visit, including the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora. This makes Plaka an ideal location for those who like to spend time hiking while also absorbing cultural and historical beauty. In addition to hiking and climbing at these ancient sites, there are also miles of coastal trails lining Plaka's beaches.

Parthenon Hotel

As its name would suggest, the Parthenon Hotel is in the heart of the old district of Athens. Situated near the Acropolis, the Parthenon Hotel is a good place to stay if you intend to visit all of Athens' ancient ruins. The hotel is about a minute's walk away from the Metro station, so it is easy to leave the Plaka area and explore the rest of Athens.

Every air-conditioned room is furnished with a telephone, mini bar, private bathroom, hairdryer and satellite television, among other modern amenities. The hotel offers babysitting services for when you want to visit ruins or sites that aren't child- or stroller-friendly.

When calling outside the U.S. and Canada, substitute "00" for "011."
