Athens Hostels

Hello, my name is Cade Spencer, and I am a hairdresser. I love to travel and during my time abroad I have had the privilege of staying at a number of hostels across various cities. Recently visiting Athens, I was excited to experience the hostels that the city has to offer.

First and foremost, the staff at these hostels were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. This was important to me so that I could feel comfortable and at ease during my stay. The range of facilities available also impressed me – from swimming pools, to cafes, to even private beachfronts. I was truly spoilt for choice, and given a wide range of activities to experience.

Moreover, hostels are not only safe and secure but also great for those travelling on a budget, as they are relatively cheap to stay in. It was amazing to know that I could get a quality accommodation at an affordable price. Staying in a hostel in Athens, I was also able to meet other backpackers from different parts of the world and create connections which I still cherish today.

From all the hostels I have visited in Athens, I have created a list of the best ones that I have either visited, or want to visit in the future. These hostels are worth considering for an amazing, and exciting journey on the city.
