The Best Hotels in Athens – Budget

Many Private Apartments for Rent in Athens are Decorated in the Modern Style.

If you are looking to save money while in Athens, your best bet is to stay in a private apartment, not a hotel. Private apartment rental is very common in Athens, and you can find the best selection of Athens apartments on tripadvisor.com. The apartments are often managed by a company and not a private individual. Still, the inventory for every company is small, so you may not be able to find the apartment I recommend for the dates you are traveling.

To find a great deal on a central Athens Apartment, follow this link which narrows your choices to just apartments in Athens. Although apartments are cheaper than hotels (many range $40 to $80 per night) there are some advantages and disadvantages with staying in apartments. The properties are often a few metro stops from the Acropolis. Additionally, you won’t get room service or any hotel-like amenities. On the other hand, the experience is more authentic and your room will be much larger. You’ll also usually have access to a kitchen.
