“A contemporary offering in the heart of lively Piraeus. Smart rooms have a luxurious feel with sink-into beds, minimalist furniture, local modern art and indulgent bathrooms. The rooftop plays host to a bar and Mediterranean restaurant and boasts spectacular sea views. A chic choice. ”

Hotel review

With a glorious view of the Athenian suburbs and the boats bobbing on the glittering water, the roof terrace restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing lunch and soak up the city from afar. This is a modern, comfortable hotel, and a good spot to perch to catch an early ferry in the morning: rooms are on the smaller side so probably better suited to the solo traveller - but still highly functional with plenty of storage space, and large showers too. Staff are warm and helpful, and eager to give tips on what to do in the surrounding area: it is just a short five-minute wander to the seafood restaurants on the marina nearby.

The Alex, Piraeus

A handy stopover en route to the Greek islands. This Athens hotel has boxy rooms, a ritzy rooftop restaurant with Riviera views, and a clean-cut, no-nonsense vibe, all within easy access of Piraeus port.
