Rooms at the Inns

There are still beds available for the Games

By , About.com Guide

While rooms in Athens are still a premium at most hotels, getting out of town may hold the answer for your Olympic accommodations.

Hotel Florida - 3 Star Superior - This hotel is situated between mountains and sea surrounded by olive trees, about an hour and a half to Athens by car.

The hotel offers a restaurant, pool-side taverna, an indoor bar, 2 pool bars, conference and meeting facilities, lobby area, a TV corner with satellite service, a health club, a swimming pool, children's club, a tennis court, volley ball court, water sports center, a diving school, and private parking. The telephone number is (30) 2610 931279.

There's a special on a 3 nights minimum stay for August, including the period of the Olympic Games. It includes a breakfast buffet and one lunch daily (though most Olympian visitors will probably be skipping lunch there), for 150 Euro per person for the 3 nights in a double room. This is 100 Euro a night for a couple. The telephone number is (30) 2610 931279.

At the Grand Hotel Loutraki, another 3 Star Superior hotel located 75 km from Athens, they are offering 5 nights accommodation with breakfast buffet and lunch daily for 220 Euro per person for the 5 nights in Double room. Again, this works out to 88 Euro a night for a couple. The Loutraki has good access to public transportation, with hourly buses from Loutraki into Athens. The town itself is a popular spa, with mineral waters flowing nearby.
