Athena Hotel is a mid-range city hotel at Georgiou Leontos 27 in Rhodes New Town, on the Greek island of Rhodes in the South Aegean. The street lies in the town's hotel and restaurant district, a few minutes on foot from Mandraki harbour, Elli Beach and the walls of the medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Rhodes Town's bus terminals, from which services run to Lindos, Faliraki and the west coast, are close by, and Diagoras International Airport is roughly 14 km to the southwest. The hotel is a modest, practical property with a friendly, low-key character that appeals to independent travelers, couples and families who prefer to spend their days sightseeing rather than at a resort pool. Guests rate it 8.5 out of 10 on Booking.com. Accommodation is offered as Double Rooms and Family Rooms, and free wifi is listed among the amenities. The property's website is athenahotel.gr, where direct enquiries can be made. Breakfast is the main meal typically associated with a hotel of this size, and dinner options are plentiful nearby, from simple souvlaki and gyros shops to sit-down tavernas serving grilled fish, moussaka and local specialties such as pitaroudia chickpea fritters. Main courses in the New Town commonly cost between 9 and 18 euros. With the Palace of the Grand Master, the Street of the Knights and the Archaeological Museum within walking distance, the location suits visitors who want to explore on foot. For beach days, Elli Beach is close, and day trips by bus or rental car reach Lindos, Anthony Quinn Bay, Kallithea Springs and the Valley of the Butterflies. The service style is informal and helpful, with front-desk assistance for transfers, excursions and car rentals. It is a sensible, value-focused option among central Rhodes accommodation.
