Arriving late at the hotel we have chosen, we discover that there are no rooms available. The owner calls a friend and sends us to his hotel, Hotel Adrian. The Adrian has no rooms, but he does have a sort of closet area where we can sleep until a room is available the next day. We take it! It is no wonder I did not write a lot about this day.
The hotel, which is still there, has a rooftop garden and fabulous views of the Parthenon at night.

I think just about every hotel in Athens has a rooftop restaurant/bar and fabulous views of the Parthenon. We stayed at the Athens Gate, which was very close. Don't you just love that view? It was a highlight, for me. ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous view. Oh to be in Athens...!
ReplyDeleteThe view is mesmerizing.
DeleteHow big was that closet? A walk in type?

It was like a large storage closet. I'd have slept on the roof at that point.
DeleteWell you would have been OK on the roof, in all likelihood - not a bad place to stay.
ReplyDeleteThat was nice of him to let you sleep even if it was a “closet”. The place looks like a good spot to stay in
ReplyDeleteThe Greek people were some of the nicest that we met.
