Put your plans for the Acropolis and the Temple of Zeus on ice. The new hot-spot for winter games in Athens is the Marriott Ledra Hotel. To be specific, the rooftop ice skating rink next to and operated by the Athens Marriott Ledra.
Marriott Ledra, Athens
From now through the end of February, you can skate for free and warm up with the seasonal drinks and food catered by the hotel while enjoying the sweeping view of Athens below.
Located atop the Star City Cinema complex beside the hotel, the 200 square meter rink allows skaters to take a spin on the ice from 11 a.m., through 11 p.m. daily.
If you still pine for the ancient Acropolis and Parthenon, the hotel offers a two-night “Explore the New Acropolis Museum” package, with two complimentary tickets to the new Acropolis Museum, and a free hotel shuttle. Use promo code M11.
The hotel’s 308 guest rooms and 6 suites are spread over 8 floors overlooking the Acropolis, just minutes from the Plaka, Piraeus Port and the New Acropolis museum. There’s also a rooftop pool and a 24-hour fitness center.
After a hard day tramping around Athens paying your respects to the Greek Gods and Goddesses, you can come back to your hotel to enjoy a Mediterranean or Greek dinner at Zephyros Restaurant or indulge in Polynesian cuisine and fresh sushi at Kona Kai.
