Well, don't use booking.com like I did. I paid for an upgrade at my hotel so the price would be over $250, which would give me a free taxi ride to my hotel. Well, the taxi never showed up so we hung around the airport for way too long, tried to contact booking.com (headquartered in the U.K.), and ended up getting our own cab. After much ado after we got home, submission of receipts and at least a monthlong wait, I did get reimbursed for my taxi fare. But that did not make up for such an inauspicious start to our trip, the time wasted, the aggravation and I will never use booking.com again.
We stayed at Athens Gate and the location was perfect. Breakfast with the Acropolis in the background wasn't bad either!
