Athens airport stay

We need to stay 1 night near Athens airport for an early morning flight. The Sofitel hotel often mentioned is way above our budget. Any experiences with Airinn or other small local owned hotels? Would also like to have dinner at hotel or near it.

If you have a long lay over then Avra is a delightful option. However it is about 40 minutes to commute back to the airport which can be a bit of a problem if you arrive back in Athens later in the evening. If you a quick turn around check out Peris hotel. It is not quite in the same league as Avra however it is 15 minutes closer to the airport which will give you a bit of extra time in the morning.

Rafina is a good option as there are many places to eat.
Coralli hotel is basic but very clean and friendly. No breakfast and no shuttle to airport. However the rates are very good. You could use welcome pick ups for the transfer they are often recommended as being reliable.

Avra of course has the airport shuttle included in the rate but the prices are higher.

There is the bus to and from the airport. Very easy to use if the timings fit your schedule
