Top hotels in Schinias
Sofitel Athens Airport
I never thought I’d be reviewing an airport hotel but this one is truly a standout. It’s about a three minute walk from baggage claim at the Athens airport. The spa is absolutely amazing. I had the best massage with Sofia, which was perfect before a 20 hour travel day the following day.
