Where to Stay in Athens
My neighborhood picks for food lovers — stay where the best restaurants are.
Psyrri
Best for food & nightlife. The heart of Athens' food scene — walk to Varvakios Market, wine bars, and the best souvlaki in the city.
€85/night

Plaka
Classic Athens. Cobblestone streets under the Acropolis. Touristy but beautiful — and there are hidden gems if you know where to look.
€95/night
Find Hotels in Plaka →
Koukaki
Where locals actually eat. Quiet, residential, walkable to everything. The tavernas here serve family recipes, not tourist menus.
€70/night
