Grand, busy Syntagma is the beating heart of Athens. Plateia Syntagma (Constitution Square) is the city's grand central hub, overlooked by some of our Guru's picks of the best hotels in Syntagma. On its west side stands the gracious Parliament Building, guarded by sentries known as evzones in traditional costume of pleated foustanella kilt (navy blue in winter), knee-length stockings and pom-pom tipped shoes.

Cafés beneath palm trees on and around the square are great for people-watching, and from Syntagma you can stroll (or bar-hop) to the Acropolis, Roman Agora and Temple of Olympian Zeus in 15-20 minutes, or walk to Monastiraki with its funky markets and grill restaurants.
Handily located between the bustle of Plaka and posh Kolonaki, streets leading off the square are also great for fashion shopping and picking up an antique. The palatial Syntagma Metro station even has its own museum of ancient artefacts unearthed while it was being built. From here, the metro whisks you straight from Syntagma to the National Archaeological Museum and to Athens International Airport, the port of Piraeus and Larissa Station, so the best hotels in Syntagma make the perfect base for exploring Athens and travelling on.
