Hotels in Athens: Great Deals – Prices for June/July
I’m planning my own trip to Athens this summer. I researched a couple of hotels this week and found some great values, which speaks volumes about the effects of the struggling global economy, exchange rates and low levels of consumer confidence.
TIP: When researching hotels in Greece, I suggest checking online and also calling the hotel’s reservation desk. A little kindness and discussion of comparable rates can go a long way!
I compiled some of the rates I found online below. There are many more hotels out there, but these are a few I would recommend. (Rates are subject to change, all prices in Euros; not including Taxes unless noted):
