Having never tried to book anything on the Net, last year we went for the adventure of a lifetime and booked a Hotel room in Athens.
Fear and trepidation were rampant as the taxi took us away from the airport and into the very centre of Athens. There we stopped, less than 500 yards from the flea-market (Plaka) and in the middle of a busy commercial street.
The entrance was not promising. Double glass doors led into a tiny reception where a middle aged Greek smoked and read the local paper. We went in.
He welcomed us in perfect English, asked if we had had a good journey and sent us on our way to the 4th floor.
We managed to get our luggage into the two lifts and my wife, son and myself went upstairs to see how bad things could get. We found our room and went in. Three single beds, colour (Cable) television, air conditioning, en-suite bathroom, shower and toilet, and enough space to leave our luggage without falling over it for the duration.
We unpacked, changed and rested and at about 6.00pm went out to stretch our legs after the flight from London, and to see what was in the area. We could not believe how central we were. This Hotel we had found on the Internet was absolutely right in the centre of Athens, very close to all of the main Shopping centres and only 5 minutes from the Acropolis and all of the main sights.
Happy, we returned to the Hotel and changed before going out to dinner. After a good meal we returned to the Hotel and went up to the roof-top bar to see where we were. The night-time views over Athens were excellent, with the Acropolis lit up like a dolls house apparently within touching distance. The bar was very well stocked, cheap, and friendly.
The next day we took a taxi tour of Athens (see op) and in the evening asked the receptionist to recommend a good restaurant. As with everything else that was superb as well.
Needless to say we have already booked for this years stop-over on our way to the Greek Islands.
