Ok.
Plz give us some more info like: how many nights this is?, coming from long haul? I guess going to a cruise or coming form one?

Let's start from the basics:

One side ( coast ) is the port where most cruise ships go.
Other side ( mainland ) is the airport.
Athens center ( where the sites are ) is in the middle.

Where to stay depends on how long the stay is, what times you arrive blah blah blah, meaning:

1. I 'd stay at the airport area or the seaport area if this was a long flight and i had only a night's stay with no sightseeing time available. No reason to commute into Athens just to spend the night at a ahotel if you have a very brief stay.

2. I 'd stay in Athens if i had some time for sightseeing, if i was a longer stay, and did not want to spend my time just at an airport hotel.

Please provide us some more info, to be able to help you by initially suggesting which area you should stay. All work really.
