About A for Athens

One of the city's most famous rooftops, overlooking Monastiraki Square with the Acropolis straight ahead. Arrive before sunset to get a seat. Monastiraki is the lively bazaar quarter below the Acropolis, with its flea market, Ottoman mosque, the Ancient Agora and rooftop bars facing the Parthenon, and its metro station links to the airport and Piraeus. Athens nights start late, with bars filling after 22:00 and many staying open into the small hours.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with A for Athens before you go.
