The verdict

Phidias is ranked on its hotel.info listing, because its own site wouldn't load for us. Per that listing it's 0.6 km from the port by Zea Marina, with valet parking at €12 (about US$13) a night — our routing puts the Terminal A street point about 1.0 miles by road away.

You'll read about a free cruise-terminal shuttle. hotel.info and athensguide.com both mention it, but neither is the hotel, so it scores nothing here.

Breakfast starts at 5:30 am for a fee, about €12, which suits an early boarding time. The listing puts the airport shuttle at €105 (about US$120) per vehicle for up to 9.

Call the hotel and ask about the shuttle directly; if it's real, Phidias deserves to move up.

Book it if

  • You'll ask about the free cruise shuttle the listings describe
  • You're driving and want valet parking at €12
  • You want breakfast from 5:30 am

Look elsewhere if

  • You need facts from the hotel itself — these are a listing's.
  • You want breakfast included.
  • You want dinner on site.
