Can anyone recommend a decent tourist hotel near central Athens for a bit of sight seeing for a couple of days on route to Preveza pre season?
Many thanks
Many thanks
Last time I stayed in Athens, I booked the cheapest hotel I could find. I was lost trying to find it, when a helpful gentleman suggested I shouldn't walk any further in the direction I was heading, as it was a bad area. My hotel was right in the middle of this area: Omonia, the Pergamos Hotel was delightful. No problems with the area either.
If you are arriving or departing from Athens airport and your flights don't match up, you could try this place for an overnighter, he will pick you up and take you back to the airport. There is a Taverna in walking distance of this quiet location.

We have used it quite a few times over the years, so have our friends, there are some quite nice walks along country lanes to the sea, the area is safe at night and a ten minute walk to the Taverna. We use it if coming from Kefalonia on the ferry or crop sprayer in winter, then onto Madrid the next day. The Pick up from the airport has proved to be very reliable, no plastic cards needed to book, simply ring or email and pay when you arrive.While reading post #8 I was about to write the same but I see you beat me to it. For a one-night stay between flights this has to be the best possible place to stay. We have used it for the past two years, €80 for two people including transport from and to the airport. Taxi fares alone to central Athens would not be much different. Very comfortable and friendly place.
