Gay-friendly hotel in the heart of Athens, with staff that really go out of their way to help you around this maddeningly fun city which is all Greek to me.
13 odyseos street ,Karaiskaki sq. 10436 Athens,www.hotel-rio-gr
Quaint and quirky with a 650-year- old account of the French-Scots alliance exhibition.
Six by four paintings of William Wallace from etchings at his memorials in Smithfield london and birthplace Elderslie Renfrewshire, two stops from central station and a fair sample of Charles Rennie Makintosh's work and the Burrell collection. This is no run of the mill youth hostel.
Also has a super location opposite the city's Mitchell library and its 100 free computer/internet facilities and around the corner from the exhibition centre.
Attracts an international crowd and has plentiful showers and comfy lounges. Best to book at weekends.
