Night falls over Athens

Visiting Athens for the first time with the whole family can result in two scenarios – fun and exciting or tedious and exhausting. A fun experience involves the major attractions that the whole family can visit and enjoy. For example, most people who visit Athens would not want to miss the famous Acropolis. History buffs would like to tour the remains of Agora, where Socrates and Plato once walked and stirred the hearts of men. But if the toddler or teenager is along for the trip, these may not be the most appealing places to visit.

Subsequently, for the Athens family vacation, one of the wisest lodging choices is to stay near the Plaka, which is located below the Acropolis. The adults will still enjoy their dose of ancient history because of the Byzantine churches and ancient monuments. Parents can also relish in the nearby National Archaeological Museum, located at the corner of Patission Street 44 and Tositsa Street, which is described by most teenagers as “cool.”

With so many places to visit in Plaka, it would be advantageous to book a hotel within the area, ensuring that you are staying in a great neighborhood within close proximity of all the exciting destinations. You don’t want to spend your vacation navigating traffic to arrive at the major attractions; instead, you want to spend your entire time enjoying those historical wonders! With our easy to use booking map, you can instantly view the location of affordable, yet highly comfortable and convenient hotels, such as the Adams Hotel, the Hotel Attalos, and the Cecil Hotel. With a nearby hotel, all interesting attractions will be within walking distance and long arduous taxi rides will not take away the excitement.

Of course, if you are more a beach buff than a history buff, then an Athens family vacation may be best spent near a beach. Thus, it might be better for the family to take that bus ride from central Athens towards the Vouliagmeni. The Vouliagmeni Beach can also be reached straight from the airport, which is just 30 minutes away. There are several luxurious hotel resorts in the peninsula, such as the Divani Palace and the Astir Palace. By examining our handy booking map, you can easily find an affordable hotel within the same great location, such as the Armonia Hotel.
