Varkiza Hotel Reviews
Expedia verified reviews
5/5 Excellent
"Convenience, convenience, convenience. Arrived into the airport at midnight after 14 hour flight time and 4 hour transit time. After getting our luggage’s, ten minutes later, we were in our clean and spacious room getting ready to shower.
The location is what attracted us. But the service and the maintenance of the rooms and facility is what will keep us coming back next time we are transiting through Athens. "

"It was amazing. Room was lovely. The breakfast was delicious and the location and view--amazing view of the Acropolis--unbelievable. Pool was lovely. The service, from everyone in the hotel from the front desk to the restaurant to housekeeping was outstanding--in particular, we needed bus tickets and the front desk patiently helped us with the website and language to schedule our trip and even printed out our tickets and delivered to our room. Highly recommend...and did I add that the location was perfect and slightly off the beaten path. An Athens classic!"

"The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Our “sea view” was “questionable”. But the price and friendliness of the staff outweighed that. Espresso on the deck! Awesome!"
