Where I Stayed In Athens!
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to keep us inside for weeks, it’s been a great joy to go back through my travel photos and relive some memories of the past two years.
During my travels in the spring of 2019, I wound up in a great variety of countries. Many of which I hadn’t originally intended on traveling. But due to the suggestions of travel companions or simply cheap flights- I found myself traveling around Poland, Cyprus, Israel and Athens that spring.
Now I love my life on the go but when we arrived in Athens- we splurged for an Airbnb that we could stay at for almost a week. Yes a whole week in the same Airbnb was longer than I was used to staying most places. But since Athens is an inexpensive city, we were able to get such a fantastic place for a very reasonable price.
Basking in the sunshine on the rooftop was divine. Being centrally located in the heart of the city made walking everywhere a breeze. But you know what really made this place special? The perfect view of the infamous Acropolis right from my bed.
At night, I would lay in bed just gazing out the window at nearly 2,500 years of ancient history lit up above the city.

Views Over Athens
From one side, we had unparalleled views of the Acropolis. And on the other side, we could look out over the city of Athens.
Some of our favorite finds in the city included:
- Little Kook– a bizarre and over the top themed dessert cafe!
- Strolling through the National Gardens
- Hiking up Mount Lycabettus for great views over Athens
- Free walking tours of the city (Just be sure to tip your guide!)
The Airbnb we stayed at has taken it’s listing down for the moment but if you’re looking for a great budget hotel stay with views of the Acropolis, be sure to check out Acropolis View Hotel. The view from the rooftop bar is spectacular!
