The hotel
Philippos in Athens is conveniently
located in the city center, right at
the foot of the Acropolis, below the
Herodion theater and the "Plaka",
the old quarters of the city with all
it's old style charm and affordable
shopping & dining.
The area around the hotel is one of
the most peaceful and quiet spots in
the city and yet it's situated just
a 15 minute walk from the central square
of Syntagma and the Parliament building. |
::
Plaka The
Plaka is world renown for it's quaint
little turn-of-the-century houses and
busy pedestrian-only streets, where
one can get away from the busy citycenter
and stroll right into the past.
The major streets of Plaka are filled
with many shops and picturesque restaurants
(or as they are called here: Tavernas)
for some inexpensive Greek dining experience,
most of them offering live Greek music.
::
Herodes Atticus theatre
Herodes Atticus theater is located at
the foot of the Acropolis. During summertime
it is the most "in" place
to watch theater, dance and opera performances
from both Greek International Companies.
The cool summer breeze, the terrific
performances and all of this under the
breathtaking presence of the illuminated
Acropolis, is quite unique. |
::
Transport
The most convenient way to get to the
hotel from the Airport & Port of
Pireas, is by taxi.
The fare is inexpensive.
Transportation to and from the city
center (for those who do not want to
walk at all) is possible with the New
Athens Metro and the yellow trolley
buses, which can take you to many hotspots
of the center like the 2 main squares
of Athens:
Syntagma (with the Parliament and Presidential
House, also being the major shopping
district) and Omonia (with the big department
stores), as well as to the National
Archaeological Museum.
