The splurge-worthy Pallas Athena Hotel is located in one of Athens' most bustling areas. In contrast to the high-energy activity outside, the ambiance inside this four-star hotel is soothing and calming.

The cream-colored walls and bedspreads merge impeccable with white crown molding. Smart artwork and dark wood furniture tie the whole posh package together. The list of modern amenities goes beyond the usual air conditioning and satellite TV to include free Wi-Fi and iPod docks. Plus some are decorated with original artwork.

En suite bathrooms deliver extra swank with cool silver fixtures, complimentary bathrobes, and toiletries from Korres, one of the top skincare and cosmetics companies in Europe.

Downstairs, a lovely restaurant and a swank Moet & Chandon bar extend the trendy-chic vibe. But the highlight may just be the complimentary breakfast, which goes beyond the standard continental fare for a more, well, grand experience.

The neighborhood may seem a bit rough, but if you travel smart it’s safe, and incredibly convenient. The Pallas Athena is next to City Hall, across the street from Plateia Kotzia, and a few blocks from Athens' famous central fish and meat market.

Location: Very central

A gritty transit and commercial hub, Omonia Square is not Athens at its most quaint and ancient. In architectural terms, it is is other than charming. But there are plenty of quirky, even inspiring, aspects of the area around Omonia Square. For one, oodles of ethnic restaurants and immigrant retail shops give the area a bit of an international vibe.

There's also the mindblowing Central Market, featuring stall upon stall of interesting goods. While Omonia is convenient for cheap sleeps and international fare, keep in mind the area can get a bit sketchy at night.
