 Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki
posted by Shaon on 6 June 2009 at 13:47 A brand like Hyatt needs no introduction, every thing in this property is a perfect dream, what I liked most about this place was the spa.. its was brilliant for the lack of a better word, named Armonia, it exactly was as its name "harmony"... its interiors was done so soothe the most str ... more Philopappou Hill
posted by KarjaCH on 29 May 2009 at 01:59 Sunrise over the Acropolis - My second morning in Athens I was still quite jet lagged and woke up at 4am local time. I took advantage of this and the fact that the metro opens at 5am, and took the metro to the Acropoli station, took a left out of the entrance onto the broad promenade that leads up a ... more National Gallery of Art
posted by DVC_Chris on 26 May 2009 at 13:10 When traveling to a city, one of my favorite past times is visiting their art museums, especially those that feature contemporary local art, as I feel it allows me to experience the vibe of the city. That is why in Greece I enjoyed the National Gallery of Art, where the vast majority of the collect ... more Monastiraki Flea Market
posted by triplecrown on 14 May 2009 at 17:56 On Sunday mornings you will find a Flea Market that is huge and diverse. Avoid the tourist trap shops that are the same everywhere, but then you get to the really interesting finds - everything from antiques on down the line. This "market" goes on indefinitely it seems. It is a look into t ... more War Museum of Athens
posted by irishiiiiiis on 7 May 2009 at 04:11 The War Museum of Athens is basically dedicated to war/ fighting. So generally speaking the guys love the place. The museum ranges from Stone Age artifacts to our most resent ways to kill each other. However, it is interesting and well done. There is even a cockpit of a fighter plane that you ca ... more |
Athens was one of the greatest cities in classical times and its modern counterpart is just as amazing. It's by far the biggest city in Greece with over a third of the entire population calling it home and there are lots of cheap hotel options. When to go What to do Getting around Athens has improved since the 2004 Olympics and the building of the metro system but gridlock still exists which can cause pollution problems during hot spells. The port of Piraeus is only a short ride away and has regular ferries to the many islands, making it easy to have a two-centre holiday. Where to stay When you've found a great Athens hotel deal why not grab some cheap flights to Athens and if you want to get out and explore maybe a great deal on Athens car hire too?
The peak tourist season is in June and July which are normally the hottest months. With so many visitors it can be hard to find a cheap hotel. Athens is less busy in April, May, September and October making it easier to find good bargains on hotels.
Once you've found the right Athens' hotel for you and your budget, you can explore a treasure trove of archaeology. The Parthenon, on the legendary Acropolis, is the most popular attraction and can get very crowded at peak times. The main museum is considered one of the best in the world and features incredible exhibits from the classical and Byzantine period. Athens is a also a great location for exploring the mainland with organised tours to many delights like the Oracle at Delphi.
The Piraeus Theoxenia Boutique Hotel Athens is one of the newest luxury hotels on offer. Better affordability can be had at the Athens Gate Hotel, which has very good reviews. At the budget end of the scale the Economy Hotel, Athens is well reviewed and considered excellent value for money.
