You cannot beat value for money at the Blue Sky in the Attica, Glyfada/Voula areas. We found the hotel clean, staff excellent (especially helpful with so many strikes during our Sept/Oct visit). Breakfast was a lovely start to the day and could be taken either inside or outside in the extremely well kept patio/garden area. If arriving at the hotel via the X96 airport bus, for convenience print off a small map of how to locate the hotel or another option is to remain on the bus to the 'main' Glyfada bus stop where you'll find taxis' - this could help get your bearings. Location wise the beach (Octupus Beach 6 euros pp is equiv to some US private beach clubs!), shops, supermarkets, trams and buses are all nearby. The icing on the cake for us was the receptionist Katerina - what a delight she was - very professional, helpful and amazingly originally from the island we were heading to, Patmos. The trip to Patmos was seamless, based on her solid adivce and directions to Uncle Theo's Yvonnis Studios (another great option if heading there). We now have direct flights from Scotland/Edinburgh to Athens and will be making regular return visits for long weekends and longer, if possible. If you are looking for a relaxing time and not too fussed about the 1 hour tram journey to Athens for sightseeing and heading for Voula Square (great coffee shops, shops and restaurants) after exhausting Glyfada - the Blue Sky is the hotel for you.
