Hotel Overview

Phidias Boutique Hotel is in the Thissio neighborhood near the pedestrian street of Athens, named Apostolou Pavlou, and Thission Park. The Thissio Metro Station, connecting Athens with the port of Piraeus, is 200 meters from the hotel.

“Crystal City Hotel has an appealing rooftop bar with Acropolis views, but I'd recommend venturing out to explore the many nearby galleries and performance spaces in this culturally rich neighborhood. The location is central, and the complimentary continental and Greek breakfast is a nice touch before a day of seeing the sights. Overall, a reasonable choice if you value location and convenience.”
