A well-regarded hostel in Makrygianni with a rooftop bar facing the Acropolis — Athens Backpackers has been a staple recommendation for budget travelers for over a decade, combining the social atmosphere of a quality hostel with a commanding view in the city. Private rooms and dormitory options; the rooftop bar is open to non-guests and attracts a lively crowd on summer evenings. Five minutes' walk from the Acropolis entrance and the Acropolis Museum.
Why We Chose It
A well-regarded hostel in Makrygianni with a rooftop bar facing the Acropolis — Athens Backpackers has been a staple recommendation for budget travelers for over a decade, combining the social atmosphere of a quality hostel with a commanding view in the city. Private rooms and dormitory options; the rooftop bar is open to non-guests and attracts a lively crowd on summer evenings. Five minutes' walk from the Acropolis entrance and the Acropolis Museum. Confirm room position, pool season, accessibility, transportation, and cancellation terms before booking; Riviera hotels are far from central archaeological sites.
