Where to stay

We would suggest to find a hotel near a metro station otherwise it may be difficult to reach the venue within a sensible time window. If you also want to see the city during your stay in Athens it would be wise to select something centrally located.

Our suggestions for best locations to look for accommodation are the following:

  • Acropolis, Syggrou Fix and Koukaki: hotels in these areas are usually close to more than one metro station, lots of bus stations and usually within walking distance from Acropolis, Plaka and other sightseeings.
  • Syntagma, Monastiraki and Plaka: hotels in these areas are also close to more than one metro station, lots of bus stations and within the historical city center.
  • Ilisia (between Michalakopoulou Str. and Vasilissis Sofias Avenue): here you can find usually more luxury hotels with a better value for money ratio, since they are a little bit outside the city center. The transportation though is pretty good cause there are a few metro stations around and thus both the city center and the conference venue are easy to reach.

Where to book online

  • RealTrip: Special hotel offers for EuRuKo 2013 delegates and as a side bonus holiday suggestions for after the conference.
  • Airtickets24.com: Brother site of our selene sponsor "Pamediakopes.gr" with extensive hotel inventory and a special promo for EuRuKo delegates looking for air tickets to Athens (5€ discount per passenger).
  • Trivago: Nice meta-searcher comparing online prices for almost every hotel. Quite handy if you know which hotel you are looking for.
  • DealAngel: Nice UI to help you find the hotel you are looking for based on location and other criteria.
  • Airbnb: A possibly better alternative to hotels with accommodation offerings from locals, ranging from simple shared rooms to luxury apartments.
  • House Trip: Similar to Airbnb with a lot of listings for Athens.
  • CouchSurfing: Free hospitality from locals if you are into such things :). Athens has a strong CouchSurfing community so chances are that you will be able to find a host relatively easy.
