Hotel Plaka in Athina 105 56, open June–September.
Guests arrive at Hotel Plaka to find themselves steps from the Acropolis, surrounded by the winding streets of Athens' most historic neighborhood.
The hotel's rooftop becomes an open-air gathering space where 180-degree views of ancient monuments frame ceremonies and receptions alike.
Inside, intimate rooms and a central courtyard provide flexible spaces for dining, dancing, and celebration within walking distance of Syntagma Square.
Great view from balcony overlooking the Acropolis. Rooms are spacious and kept clean by hardworking staff. Breakfast is varied and plentiful, hot food options, with a bi daily rotation between bacon and sausags. Reception staff are a little brusque and inattentive, some of them, anyway. All in all, a decent stay was had.
