Private Transfers to The Dolli at Acropolis from Airport & Ports

The Dolli at Acropolis in the heart of Athens near the Parthenon, Plaka and Syntagma.

The Dolli at Acropolis sits at Mitropoleos Street, in the historic heart of Athens, gazing toward the Parthenon and only a few steps from the Acropolis. This is one of the most central hotel addresses in Athens. Guests are close to Plaka, Monastiraki, Syntagma, Ermou Street, the Acropolis Museum, the Parthenon and many of the city’s main ancient sites. The location is perfect once you arrive, but getting there after a flight, ferry or cruise can be difficult with luggage, traffic and the busy streets of the historic center. A private transfer keeps the arrival simple. Your driver meets you at the airport or port, helps with luggage and takes you straight to the entrance of The Dolli at Acropolis, without queues, metro changes or searching for the hotel through central Athens.
