Whether you’re here for myths and history, or the Acropolis skyline that steals your breath, Safestay Athens Monastiraki brings Athens to your doorstep. Step outside into Monastiraki Flea Market, and find the Ancient Agora, and Parthenon–each just a casual 5 to 15‑minute walk away.

Being in the heart of the Monastiraki and Psyri neighbourhoods puts you into the epicentre of the old city, but if you want to visit the modern Gazi area, it’s only 1 metro stop away from the closest station to the hostel (or 19 min walk).
