The Holiday Inn Athens-Attica Avenue Luxury Hotel is built on the Attica Highway, offering easy access to the Athens Airport and the sites and attractions in Athens and the greater Attica region.
For your entertainment, we recommend taking the metro to the center of Athens, to the nightlife hotspots of Plaka, Psiri, Thisseion and Gazi. Located 15 km from the Holiday Inn Athens-Attica Avenue Hotel is the Village Center cinema multiplex in Maroussi. The Mont Parnes casino, built on Parnitha Mountain, is situated 32 km from the hotel, while at the foot of mountain there are many tavernas that are celebrated for their grilled meats.
If you are interested in touring the Attica prefecture, we suggest starting off your Athens sightseeing in the center of the city. A must during your stay is a visit to the Acropolis Hill, where you can admire the ancient monuments, such as the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Ancient Agora, the Herod Atticus Odeon, and the Theater of Dionysus. Other worthwhile attractions are the Olympeion Site, the Parliament Building, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers with the Evzone Guards, the Zappeion Hall, the Marble Stadium, Pnyka, Plato’s Academy, and the many Athens Museums (National Archaeological, Acropolis, Cycladic Art, Byzantine, etc). A great Athens sightseeing experience is a nonchalant stroll through the old neighborhoods of the downtown area, such as Plaka and Thisseion.
Outside the Athens City, you can visit the Peania Cave, located 5 km from the Holiday Inn Athens-Attica Avenue Hotel, which is considered a natural treasure of Attica. The Temple of Poseidon in Sounio is a wonderful ancient site that is perched on a cliff overlooking the sea. The archaeological sites of Eleusis and Vravrona, are also impressive and worth dedicating a few hours from your Athens sightseeing schedule. The latter site is situated very close to the Holiday Inn Athens-Attica Avenue Hotel. For a short day trip, you can take a boat from Piraeus Port that departs for Spetses, Aegina, Hydra, Poros, the islands located just off the coast of Attica.
The prefecture of Attica has some beautiful coastal regions, such as Loutsa and Porto Rafti, which are located 5 km and 10 km from the hotel, respectively.
