Hotel Prices in Athens Vary by Country
Athens, the Greek capital, attracts millions of travelers each year. From Monastiraki to Kolonaki, the city offers accommodation ranging from budget hostels to world-class luxury hotels. What most visitors do not realize is that the price they see for any hotel in Athens depends on where they are browsing from.
Online travel agencies like Booking.com and Expedia use geographic pricing to show different rates based on the booker's country. A hotel near Plaka priced at one rate for travelers in the United States may cost 20-40% less when viewed from Southeast Asia, South America, or Eastern Europe. These are identical rooms on identical dates with identical cancellation policies.
