Hotels displayed on the map: 1. Sofitel Athens Airport – 2. Holiday Inn Athens Attica Ave – 3. Galini Palace – 4. Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso – 5. Four Seasons Astir Palace – 6. Avra Hotel – 7. A for Athens
The Sofitel Athens Airport is the lone hotel situated at the Athens Airport. (Iβve stayed here numerous times and have never had a poor stay).
The next closest inn to the airport is the Holiday Inn (13 km and a 10-minute drive from the airport).
After those two choices, your best option is remaining in Rafina, the Athens Riviera (a strip of beach towns south of the city), or central Athens. If you want to stay in central Athens but still access the airport conveniently then try either A for Athens or 360 Degrees – both are steps from the Monastiraki metro station with direct trains to the airport and the Piraeus ferry port.
