Hotels Near Acropolis| Best Acropolis Hotels

The Acropolis is the prime tourist attraction in Athens, Greece. It’s an ancient citadel that looms over the city of Athens from a jutting rocky outcrop. Furthermore, Acropolis is one of the most historically and culturally significant landmarks in Athens, and perhaps all of Greece, because it houses remnants of various historical monuments, most significantly the Parthenon. These monumental remnants belong to the Golden Age of Athens, which dates back to 460 and 430 BC. As such, not only is the Acropolis important to Greece, but it’s also important for the understanding of one of the world’s oldest and most revered ancient civilizations. The Acropolis has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. When you’re staying in Athens, you should find a hotel located close to this landmark. As such, in this article, we’ve compiled a list of the top 10 hotels near Acropolis.
