Greece is on track to break tourism records and surpass 2019 tourism revenues as more and more people pour into the country. Incredible beaches, crystal-clear blue waters, and sunshine draw visitors from around the world. Earlier this summer, Delta partnered with SKY Express to make it easier for Americans to visit famous places in Greece. As one of the most sought-after destinations for Americans this summer, the partnership came at the perfect time. So, getting there is easier and more affordable, but what about staying there?
A recent study revealed Athens as one of the best destinations for getting the most bang for your buck in Europe. While this is certainly true, don’t make the mistake of thinking the rest of Greece isn’t good value! To prove the point, we have narrowed down five 5-star accommodations where you can stay for less than $150 per night. The prices shown were found using booking.com for a 7-night stay in mid-September.
Athens – Piraeus Theoxenia Hotel
Cost Per Night – $105
Athens has so much to offer and is an excellent city for first-time visitors to Greece. History is around every corner, with the Parthenon, the Acropolis, and the Panathenaic Stadium all just an Uber away. After a day of exploring the city, head back to this 5-star stay for an evening swim in the rooftop pool. The hotel is about a 15-minute walk from the closest beach and is near the train station for easy access to the city’s center.
