ST. GEORGES LYCABETTUS Hotel – Cat. 5* - Kolonaki area
Kolonaki is one of the oldest, most upscale and popular neighbourhoods of Athens, the Mayfair of
the city. It has always been a trend-setting area and all major commercial
brand names open their boutiques first in Kolonaki. The hotel is up on the
hill, and this elevated position offers great views to the Acropolis, the
sprawling city and Lycabettus Hill.
