Whilst Athens today has much unsightly graffiti that makes many areas look very seedy especially just outside the city’s central core, Estia Boutique Hotel is a glowing gem and highly recommended for comfort, price, accommodations, and amazing staff. Marina and Christelle at the front desk were incredibly helpful, friendly, engaging, and informative, answering all our questions and more. And to make sure each new day gets off to a wonderful start, the included breakfast prepared each day provides a tasty and wide variety of freshly prepared favourites, pastries, and local treats. Lastly, ask about some close-by eating and bar establishments that are inexpensive with great food clearly endorsed by local patrons. All in all, a delightful place to use as your home base while in Athens!!
