Athens

A blend of History, Beaches,  and Vibrant Nightlife


Crowne Plaza City Centre is situated in an enviable location for guests seeking to immerse themselves in the rich Greek history and culture. A short stroll will take you to the iconic Acropolis and the state-of-the-art Acropolis Museum, where millennia-old artifacts are displayed. Further enrich your understanding of Greek art and history by visiting the National Archaeological Museum, Museum of Cycladic Art, and the Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation. 

Art enthusiasts will also appreciate the National Gallery – Alexandros Soutsos Museum and the National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens (EMST). Beyond historical and artistic pursuits, Athens promises a shopper’s paradise. The upscale boutiques of Kolonaki and the bustling stalls of Ermou Shopping area, offer a variety of goods ranging from high-end fashion to handcrafted souvenirs. The quaint streets of Plaka, with its labyrinthine alleys and traditional architecture, offer an authentic taste of old Athens. For the romantics, we highly recommend a visit to Lycabettus Hill. As the sun starts to set, make your way to the top of the Hill, to enjoy an unmatched view of the city bathed in the hues of sunset.

The Athenian experience isn’t complete without soaking the Greek sun. A short drive from our hotel leads to the golden sands of Glyfada Beach, Riviera Beach, and the picturesque Vouliagmeni Beach. Dive into the turquoise waters, lounge by the shore, and perhaps indulge in a cocktail or two. As evening draws, the city morphs into a vibrant hub of nightlife. Be it the avant-garde performances at Megaro Mousikis Concert Hall, cultural showcases at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, or simply barhop in the lively streets. Athens offers something for everyone’s taste. 

Athens is characterized as the city of infinite shades. Complete your stay with visiting even more world-class museums, stroll around the National Garden, dine in gastronomic establishments pioneering in Greek cuisine, and dance the night away in its myriad of nightlife venues. And as you lay your head to rest in our hotel, be comforted by the thought that another day of Athenian adventures awaits.
