Esse Athens

Esse Athens is a boutique hotel in the heart of Plaka, the old town that curls around the foot of the Acropolis. My clients rate it 4.5 out of 5 for its location, its style and the feeling of living in the old town.

Booked for my clients: the old town on your doorstep and an easy walk to the Acropolis.

Where you’ll be

Plaka is Athens' oldest neighborhood, with narrow lanes, neoclassical houses and tavernas. The Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum, Monastiraki and Syntagma Square are all within walking distance.

The stay

Rooms are stylish and comfortable, with a contemporary Greek feel. It is a small, personal hotel that makes a lovely base for a few days in the city before heading to the islands.
