Acropolis View Hotel

One of the best things you can do on a summer night in Athens costs about €10.
Open air cinema. It's been an Athenian ritual since the 1930s — warm evenings, a drink in hand, a film playing under the sky, and depending on where you sit, the Acropolis lit up in the background.

Tucked into the slopes of the Acropolis is a neighbourhood that feels nothing like Athens.

Anafiotika - whitewashed walls, narrow paths, bougainvillea spilling over fences. Built in the 1800s by workers from the island of Anafi, who simply built their homes the way they knew how.

15 minutes from the hotel.
