AWhat you need is a centrally located hotel in Athens that’s within easy reach of the “old stuff” and whose staff can help you to organise tours and day trips.

Try Herodian (herodion.gr), a family-run boutique hotel at the foot of the Acropolis. It has elegantly decorated rooms and a beautiful roof garden with sunloungers and two hot tubs, plus cracking views over the city.

It’s a few yards from the new Acropolis Museum and a 15-minute walk from Syntagma Square – there’s also a metro station nearby.

A week in a double or twin from April 12 starts at £990.
