“Nefeli's family-run atmosphere, a welcome change from chain hotels, immediately sets it apart. The location in Plaka is superb, allowing easy walks to the Acropolis and other sites; from what I gathered, the hotel feels more like a home than just a place to stay. It's clear why guests return-the central location and personal touch create a memorable experience.”

Street parking is unlikely, but there's a parking garage nearby. Ideal if you plan to explore the city by foot.
