After a excellent Viking cruise from Istanbul to Athens, we extended the city stay for three nights in Amazon Hotel. The hotel's location is central to most tourist attractions. The reason is as follow: what I found was that, on the map, one line up Syntagma square and Monastraki square with a straight line, the two streets connect the two is Ermou and Mitropoleos st. These two streets pretty well could be the reference point to most of the attractions. Amazon hotel is located on Mitropoleos st, next to Electra Hotel which is a bigger hotel and use it to ask direction in case you are lost. How do you find Mitropoleos st from Syntagma square/Metro station, the street is located the ”far” from the front of Hellenic Paramount building steps, in term of the clock direction, 12 o'clock is Ermou, 11 o'clock is Mitropoleos st. The hotel is only a few block away. The front of the Paramount building faces Monastraki square. The hotel is very good in term of staffs, service, cleanliness, breakfast, and location. Walkable to Acropolis, Anafiotiki, Monastraki square, National Park..etc. There are a lot of places to eat, but, unthinkable, I liked a Vietnamese restaurant the best nearby call Hanoi restaurant, one street over before Ermou, excellent food, specially the steam rice roll, big dishes. If you want to go to Airport from Synthama Metro, I suggested that you take couple stations back toward Piraeus to avoid the crowd, make sure you buy the 9 Euro airport ticket, someone was checking at the airport station. I went to Acropolis at 4:30pm, no line up for ticket. I also like to walk in all the old churches I came across, some are thousand years old and have beautiful arts. I also find, surprisingly, National Garden very relaxing, the sound of crickets and also lead me to the Olympic stadium and Arch of Hadrian,then Acropolis square, but don't go to Acropolis this way, go thru the church instead, ask the hotel front desk.
