Backpacking in Athens, Greece

A backpacking holiday in Athens is a great way to explore this ancient city on a budget. Athens has been a favourite destination of international backpackers for decades, and backpacking in Greece is well established. There are plenty of very good backpacker hostels in Athens, where a bed in a shared dorm will cost you around 12-15 Euros. Newer, more centrally located hostels will cost a little more, and some of the best places also offer single and double rooms. Beware of some of the older, cheaper establishments which can be a bit shabby. There are always lots of backpackers in Athens, and plenty of inexpensive bars and cafes where you can hang out and meet fellow travellers. Many backpackers stop off in Athens as part of a longer backpacking holiday in Greece, and the city is well connected by public transport to the rest of the country and beyond.
