The 6 Best Hotels for Being in the Heart of Athens' Nightlife Scene

There are some key areas where you'll find the most favorable and varied options for nightlife haunts in Athens. Previously quiet at night, Syntagma has become one of the most “hot” areas for nightlife, where stylish, trendy bars have sprouted up in recent years. Other areas with the highest and best quality concentration of bars and clubs are Monastiraki, Psyrri, Acropolis, Koukaki and Thissio-Gazi, most of which can be walked to if you are in an explorative mood, or reached by a quick metro or taxi ride (last metro on weekdays is at 12pm, on Fridays and Saturdays at 2am). Today bars in Athens are generally stylish, artsy, with designer decor and well-mixed drinks, as bar staff are increasingly trained at top bartending schools abroad, and a handful have several global mixology awards under their belt.
