Location on the map of Athens
Athens, Greece
Small but comfortable and quite centrally located, in fact just opposite the Acropolis Museum! There are also many restaurants nearby. We found one very decent and reasonable local, non-touristy restaurant very nearby. Unfortunately I cannot recall the name but very easy to locate. Come out of the hotel, turn left, then take the first road on your right. The small restaurant is on your right. Hot nice local food at very reasonable prices.
