Book now – pay rest later

There is no greater betrayal than the betrayal felt when your ‘amazingly watertight winter shoes’ let you down at the first drip of rain.

There’s only one way to heal this violation of trust and that’s to escape the Scottish winter and jet out to a Mediterranean city for a mini-getaway.

Ideally, you’ll want to pick a city filled with ancient temples, lively tavernas and massive dollops of tzatziki.

In other words, Athens.

That’s why we’re giving today’s Big Deal from The Travel Company Edinburgh a hero’s welcome, as it offers a chance to spend three nights in a central Athens hotel, including return flights from Edinburgh.

Wet weather, you don’t get to be the boss of us.

Amazing location

This Big Deal is for a three night stay at the welcoming Athens Centre Square Hotel, in the historic heart the city.

The hotel’s rooftop terrace is loved by guests, as it has panoramic views of the nearby Acropolis. You’ll also be just a few minutes from buzzing Monastiraki Square with its taverns, bars and shops, and the charming, cobblestoned Plaka neighbourhood. The shopping district of Ermou and the Monastiraki Metro, which connects to the airport, are both short strolls away.

Breakfast is included with this deal, so you’ll start each day with a rich buffet spread. Expect to have a choice of eggs, ham, sausages, cheeses, cereals, fresh fruits of the season, yogurt with honey, compote, croissants, cakes, home made jams, and a range of Greek delicacies.

Athens Centre Square Hotel also offers tour booking assistance and free wifi.

Stylish rooms

Each of the airy guests rooms at Athens Centre Square is individually decorated with wooden floors and a large window, many with wonderful views.

Features include air conditioning, a fridge, a flat-screen satellite TV, a safe and a modern bathroom with toiletries, making your room a great space to unwind after a day of sightseeing.

Flight dates

The city breaks are for three nights, flying out from Edinburgh Airport on the following dates in 2018:

24th, 31st January

7th, 14th, 28th February

7th, 14th, 21st March

Flights depart Edinburgh at 07:20, arriving into Athens International at 13:25. Return flights leave Athens International at 20:55, arriving into Edinburgh at 23:20.

Atmospheric Athens

Not only is Athens the birthplace of Western civilisation, it’s also a great place to shop for souvenirs and sip ouzo while watching the sunset, so you’ll never be bored. With this Big Deal you’ll have a chance to explore the city’s historic squares, cobblestoned streets and lively markets.

Athens is packed with fascinating ancient landmarks, with the highlight being the Acropolis, a 2500 year old citadel and site of the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and the Theatre of Dionysus. Syntagma Square, at the centre of the city, is home to the Old Royal Palace and a great place to people watch.

For shopping, your first port of call should be the rustic Plaka neighbourhood for ceramics, rugs, crafts, antiques and jewellery. Next, check out the upmarket designer district of Kolonaki and the bustling 19th century Central Market.

For a swanky start to an evening out, head for a cocktail at Galaxy Bar on the top floor of the Hilton hotel, which has excellent terrace views of the Acropolis lit up at night.

Happy guests

Athens Centre Square Hotel has enjoyed enthusiastic reviews from Trip Advisor, with an overall rating of 4.5/5. In particular, the hotel is praised for its great central location, its views of the Acropolis and its friendly staff. Here are some recent reviews, edited for length:

‘Best location in Athens. Great rooftop bar. Amazing view! This hotel’s location can’t be beat…it’s right in front of the vegetable and fruit market where one can find great olives among other things. It’s located near plenty of shopping areas and dining options.The room was very comfortable and quiet, and had the most amazing view of the Acropolis. The roof top was a great place for an evening drink while watching the sunset. The staff were amazing! Always happy to help with directions, trip ideas, among other things. The breakfast was great…’ Rating 5/5

‘Great hotel. The rooms seems to be all with new paint, very clean and in great condition. The location is in a middle of a local market which makes you feel the local atmosphere in a very nice way. The roof view of the city is great as well. We arrived for my mum’s birthday and we got AMAZING service with every request to make local reservations or to plan our day in the city. We also got a very nice set of wine and local pastries to our room as a surprise. Very recommended and surely best value for money.’ Rating 5/5

‘Very central location. Centrally located hotel with Metro, taxi all near. Some might find it slightly odd as it is right in the market, but it was OK with us. The fruit market is just in front of the hotel. Breakfast is good, reception is helpful. We are satisfied with our stay.’ Rating 4/5
