  1. HI
    Where do you recommend to stay regarding Hostels or cheaper apartments in an area where you can walk to most tourist spots in Athens.
    Thanks karen

    • The absolute cheapest part of Athens still within walking distance of the historic center is in Omonia. There are some lower end hotels there. It’s not a very nice area though.
      If you are an experienced, broad-minded traveler you’ll find the area fine. If you’re not, you probably won’t enjoy staying there!
      A lot comes down to what sort of price you are looking at and the time of year you want to stay in Athens.
      I use Booking and then just narrow down to places in my price range.
