Booking a hotel in Athens for one night and if anyone has suggestions as to where to stay, happy to read them. It seems that tripadvisor.com lists most hotels but comments run the gamut for each hotel making it hard to discern one from another. Many hotels, it seems, are decent enough, but there are concerns over dodgy areas. Coming from NYC, is this still valid?
Again - any and all suggestions are welcome.. thx

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Posted: 7/27/08 at 2:48pmyes, there are dodgy area of athens and some hotels that rent by the hour. I can't be specific, but pay as much as you can afford and as reputable as you can get. Athens has it's own rewards though. It's a wonderful city, but at this time of year so frickin hot!!!!

Thanks to GreekMusicalFan, I found a hotel in a better part of town and not that much more expensive. Looking forward to meeting him as well.
