City Circus Hostel is an alternative travellers space for the restless voyager, the escape artist, the life acrobat. “Acrobat” literally means “a person that lives on the edge” and that is the idea of this circus: to dwell in the surreal, to embrace the weird, to explore with freedom. So whether you’re running away from something (we hope it’s not the law) or running towards something on your adventure, City Circus Athens Hostel is the ideal spot to rest your wandering feet and dreamy head.
THE HISTORY
OF OUR LOVELY VENUE
The two buildings that house City Circus Hostel and Zampanó restaurant are dated from the late 19th century and have been declared historical monuments. Being regarded as the epitome of turn-of-the-century Greek architecture, they are considered a cultural cornerstone of the Psyrri area. The buildings remained largely unused from 1970 until 2011 when the City Circus team discovered them in their search for the ideal location. It was a perfect match. After a whole year of preparations and internal redesign work, City Circus opened its doors in the summer of 2012 and quickly became one of the highest rated hostels in Europe.
