Who are we? EuroCheapo is a guide to cheap hotels in Athens and throughout Europe. Since we launched our guide to Athens in 2006, we’ve been visiting, inspecting and reviewing hotels there, always with the same goal: to find the city’s best affordable (and central) sleeps.
Of course, Greece has been a tricky place to visit of late, with many tourists staying at bay because of the country’s financial and political challenges. However, true budget travelers haven’t been so easily dissuaded from visiting. Indeed, in many ways the country has become more interesting and affordable to visit.
Getting started: If you’re ready to choose a hotel, use the search box above or head straight to our reviews of recommended properties. If you need a little help deciding upon an area to call home, check out our neighborhood overviews. For additional money-saving tips, read the articles listed below.
