The hotel is simple but close to the city, metro, sighseeing bus and 30 minutes by taxi to the airport. Going to airport by metro is excellent. The sightseeing bus next street from the hotel. We only slept in the hotel. We were out early morning and came late at night. The hotel arranged our trip to Corinth canal. This is a highlight for us. So many interesting place to see in Athen. Easy travel to many island. We went crazy shopping to Plaka, Kolonaki, Monastiraki, Ermou, Athen floating market, The mall and Golden hall. The people are so friendly, helpful and spoke english. Metro is so clean inside and outside. I felt so healthy with the weather here. Food, music and dance at Plaka tavern was awesome. We broke plates at the end of the show. I want to come back to Greece again. Rio Hotel is so reasonable price. Joy and Vicky
