Attica, Greece Holidays: Athens Hotels and Coast Guide

Attica, Greece

Attica is the region surrounding Athens, pairing one of the world's great historic cities with a sunny stretch of Aegean coast. UK couples and families come for that rare combination of ancient sights, lively city life and easy access to beaches and islands.

It works brilliantly as a city break with a difference, or as the start of a wider Greek trip, with the capital's culture and the coast both within reach.

Where to stay in Attica

There is a strong choice in central Athens. Elliot Neapoli Athens is a four star property in the Neapoli district, while B4B Athens Signature Hotel is a four star boutique hotel in Koukaki near the Acropolis. NLH Monastiraki is a four star boutique hotel in the lively Monastiraki district, and Silk n Cotton is a boutique stay in the Syntagma area. For something more upscale, the NYX Esperia Palace Hotel is a five star hotel in the historic centre, Electra Rhythm Athens is a four star hotel near Syntagma Square, and Electra Metropolis is a five star city centre hotel in the historic heart of Athens.

Getting there and when to go

Athens airport has frequent direct flights from across the UK, with quick links into the city and along the coast. Attica works all year. Spring and autumn are warm and ideal for sightseeing, summer is hot and good for the beaches, and winter is mild for a city break.

Beaches, sights and getting around

Athens is best explored on foot in its central districts, backed by a handy metro. The region's ancient sites and museums are world-famous, and the nearby Aegean coast offers beaches and harbours for day trips, with island ferries within reach.

Food and things to do

Greek cooking shines here, from souvlaki and meze to fresh seafood, enjoyed in lively tavernas. Beyond the landmarks you can browse markets, enjoy rooftop views and take a short trip to the coast for a swim.

Who it suits

Attica suits couples and families who want history, city buzz and easy access to the sea in one trip. It is more varied than a pure beach holiday.
