Family rooms with kitchenettes in Palaio Faliro, a tram ride from central Athens

Gnamma is built around family rooms, and that is its main argument: air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, some with a kitchenette, a balcony and an outdoor dining area. For a family, that means breakfast and early dinners can happen in the room, which matters with toddlers. Palaio Faliro is calmer than the centre and close to the sea, and Flisvos Marina, about 1.8 km away, adds the Averof battleship museum to the seafront walk. The trade-off is distance from the Acropolis area: plan on the tram from Agia Skepi, about 10 minutes on foot, for sightseeing days. There is a lounge and a terrace, but no pool.

The 24-hour front desk and concierge help with late arrivals and with booking tickets or taxis for the Acropolis and the museums.
