Athens International Airport is located just over 20 miles southeast of the Athens city center. One of the easiest ways to travel from the airport to the best Athens hotels is to drive down Attiki Odos, a six-lane motorway that leads directly to the city. You'll find car rental pickup points on the Arrivals Level of the Main Terminal Building of Athens International Airport. Once you have your rental car, you can make the easy drive to Kessariani, located just a few miles outside of Athens. This ancient monastery no longer houses monks, but it is still a peaceful and beautiful place to visit. Climb the tree-lined path behind the monastery to the sanctuary building to enjoy beautiful views of Athens and the Saronica Gulf.
