The 6 Best Hostels in Athens (Updated 2025)

"Located in the shadow of the Acropolis, this is a very social hostel that organizes a plethora of events—from daily guided walking tours to happy hours, karaoke sessions, and soup nights—so I found it easy to meet fellow travelers. Breakfast is complimentary and coffee and tea are available throughout the day; the rooftop bar is a great place to watch the sunset with a drink. I really love that the hostel offers pod-style beds for extra privacy and comfort, and there are also private rooms, some big enough to sleep up to five people." - Matthew Kepnes
