“Arethusa Hotel benefits enormously from its location, mere steps from Syntagma Square, dropping you right into the heart of Athens' historical district. For a reasonably priced stay, the rooftop terrace seals the deal, with Parthenon views that elevate the experience. I think the hotel's simplicity is its strength, making it a practical base for exploring the city.”
