Periscope Hotel occupies a quiet residential street in Kolonaki, a short walk from Kolonaki Square's cluster of cafes and designer boutiques. The hotel takes its design cues from an industrial, aerial theme, using black-and-white photography of Athens rooftops and building facades throughout its public areas and rooms, a nod to its name and to the elevated, hillside geography of the surrounding neighborhood.
Kolonaki is Athens' most consistently affluent central district, and Haritos Street sits among its quieter residential blocks rather than its commercial spine along Skoufa and Tsakalof streets. That makes the hotel a calmer overnight base relative to properties directly on Kolonaki Square, while still being within a 10-minute walk of the square's restaurants and the base of the Lycabettus funicular.
Evangelismos metro station, on the Blue Line, is about a 10-minute walk downhill, connecting directly to Syntagma and onward to the airport, and putting the Byzantine and Christian Museum and the Benaki Museum within easy reach along Vasilissis Sofias Avenue.

Tips for visiting

- Take Evangelismos station's Blue Line directly toward Syntagma for onward connections rather than trying to flag a taxi during rush hour
- Combine a visit to the Benaki Museum with the Byzantine and Christian Museum, both a short walk down Vasilissis Sofias Avenue
- Book the Lycabettus funicular ride for early evening to watch the sunset over the city from the summit chapel
