Location
On the Athenian Riviera
Alimos is the part of Athens where you can swim before breakfast and still be at a meeting in the centre by ten. The neighbourhood is residential and stays quiet, which is rarer this close to the coast than it sounds. Whether you come to work or to swim, the address suits both.
Waterfront promenades invite long walks along the sea, and seaside tavernas line the coast. Local shops and cafés cluster near the hotel, while the great museums and ancient sites of Athens are a short drive away. Every day here can be as full or as quiet as you wish.
