The Best Rooftop Pools in Athens with Stunning Views

After a long day of sightseeing in the Greek capital, the best way to refresh yourself is to take a dip in a swimming pool or in the sea. Although Athens has its splendid Riviera, choosing a hotel in the centre for convenience means long taxi rides to the beach. The best alternative is a rooftop swimming pool, so you can take in the views as well. Lucky for you, we’ve rounded up the top hotels with rooftop pools in Athens, all bookable with Culture Trip.
