Athens Vacation Packages

Great staff, great breakfast, large double room, within walking distance of Parthenon, and many shops and restaurants in the Plaka. Also a great view of the Parthenon from the rooftop cafe.

We had the pleasure of staying at Philia Boutique Hotel during our trip to Athens.The hotel is centrally located in a vivid neighborhood. There are a lot of nice bars and restaurants next to the hotel.The breakfast was really delicious, especially the greek sweet bread (tsoureki). The rooms are well designed, spacious, modern and clean. Our room had a patio where we enjoy as the weather was mild. The sense of staying at an old Athenian Mansion, is priceless. A big thanks to the staff which was courteous, attentive and wonderful. We can't wait to return back.

The hotel is new and neat. The neighbourhood on one side is ok but on the other side not so much. You have to stay on the main roads better. It is close to a metro station and in 3 stops you are at the Acroplolis. You can walk back in 20 minutes and on half way you will find lots of nice restaurants with wintergardens. 5 minutes from tha hotel you find a nice restaurant as well. In 15 minutes walk you reach the museum of archeology.

Excellent location for walking to the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, Temple of Zeus, Olympic Stadium, National Gardens, Plaka, Ancient Agora, Parliament Building, etc. We stayed 2 nights before and 2 nights after our cruise. We ate dinner there every night with a beautiful view of the Acropolis. We hadn’t intended to do that, since the menu is somewhat limited, but we walked so much during the day that we didn’t feel like going back out. The food was delicious as were the house wines. The breakfast buffet was perfect!! Our room was overlooking the Temple of Zeus (great view!!), but there is noise from motorcycles. However, that wasn’t much of an issue for us since we were exhausted from walking. Great service from all the staff and we would stay there again. Also, the hotel sponsored a Covid test for our return trip to the US.

I would highly recommend this property to anyone staying in Athens. Not only was the room quite and well appointed, it is within easy walking distance to numerous points of interest like the Acropolis, Temple of Zeus, multiple museums, restaurants, pubs etc. Basically anything you want to see, do, drink or eat are close by. The proprietor John was welcoming and very friendly. He even arranged for a ride back to the airport for me, gratis! As amazing as the hotel was, the best thing was the million dollar view of the Acropolis, especially at night. When lit up, it is a magical view from the balcony. Not only would I recommend this property, I already have. And I will not hesitate to stay there again on my next trip to Greece!
