Fresh Hotel

Set in the heart of Athens, this hotel puts you in a brilliant spot for getting stuck into the capital. Monastiraki, the Central Market and the Ancient Agora are all within easy reach, and the Acropolis is close enough to keep your sightseeing plans looking very strong indeed. It’s the kind of location that lets you bounce from old ruins and buzzy streets to coffee stops and rooftop drinks without missing a beat.

The vibe at the hotel’s playful, contemporary and just the right side of cool. The rooftop is the headline act, with a swimming pool framed by panoramic views of the Acropolis and the city skyline, plus sunbeds for those very necessary post-sightseeing flops. There’s also a fitness centre and wellness offering if you fancy balancing out the souvlaki with something a little more virtuous.
