“Crystal City Hotel places you steps from the Metaxourgeio Metro, opening Athens right up. The rooftop dining, specializing in Greek cuisine, presents Acropolis views and feels like a genuine find. While some might find the rooms a touch dated, the staff's friendliness and the neighborhood's vibrant cultural scene more than compensate, especially if you're after an authentic Athenian experience.”
