"The main sights of Athens too were in the vicinity and each evening the beautifully lit-up Acropolis beckoned from the nearby hilltop."

“With its rooftop terrace, the views of the Parthenon and Lycabettus Hill are remarkable. I noted the prime location puts you steps from Syntagma Square and the Acropolis. I think the American-style buffet breakfast makes for a good start to the day. It's a solid choice if you want to be in the heart of Athens.”
