Top hotels in Makrigianni
Athens Gate Hotel
The room was clean and had a good view of the Parthenon. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They do not have smart TV’s so no Netflix or prime and the only English programming was CNN and BBC news. But in good location for everything else food, shopping and tours.
