NellieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
What a lovely apartment. Exactly as described and it has everything you need. Very clean and well functioning. Very spacious. We love walking so walked into the centre every day, however it was about 45mins, but I understand the metro is easy. Host was brilliant, so friendly and contactable. I’d definitely stay again in going to Athens, and would recommend this to other.

Live in a Historic Athenian area in a Stylish flat

AhmedRating, 5 stars1 month ago
It's my first time to rent a great place like that beautiful studio in Kapsilli . Very easy arrival from the Airport of Athens , then , woooow , what a clean and classy studio with a very competitive price . When I called Maria , just to thanks her for the instructions she sent me to check in , then she explained to me everything about the area as it exactly .. Big stores just minutes , all types of buses to get for anyplace to visit in Athens. As I'm a one of the Greece lovers , I probably will reserve it again for my next trips to Athens as its very close to all the places that I really want to visit . Maria is a great person to know , very helpful , big smile as most of the Greek people whom I really loved since long time ago when I arrived to Athens first time before 2000 , and , I still in love with Greece just today 😍 💙 💕

Ant16 - 60 sqm 1BR Balcony 10 minutes to Acropolis

ChrisRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This apartment exceeded my expectations (after a very uncomfortable experience/interaction with another Airbnb rental/host on my initial travel in Athens). This apartment it’s actually even better than the photos suggest and the standard Airbnb should strive to keep: It was cozy, tastefully decorated, and extremely comfortable and clean. Dimitra and Guy were incredibly attentive: when the apartment ran out of soap, they arranged a quick replacement without any hassle. Their care and hospitality really stood out. I highly recommend this place and would absolutely stay here again. Thank you both for a wonderful stay that saved my experience in Athens!

The apartment was nicely furnished and spacious, had all the necessary amenities for a short stay. We didn’t do much around the neighborhood, since we only stayed one night to rest before our flight the next day, so I can’t speak about the surroundings. The host was very responsive, friendly and made us feel at ease and welcome. Would recommend!

Stayed the night after a late flight into Athens before going into the city. Panos picked me up after my flight was very delayed and it was much cheaper than a taxi. He was very friendly and kind. Highly recommend staying if you are flying in and out of ATH!

KaterinaRating, 5 stars10 months ago
I made this booking for my partner and his mother; George couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. It was a stressful time as I was meant to be with them (and I am Greek), so I was nervous that they were going without me-- George made sure they felt safe and comfortable, and made them feel like they had a local expert even without me there. He communicated clearly and directly, and provided loads of recommendations. They had a fantastic stay and it really is thanks to George's clean, comfortable, and safe home.

Your guide to Athens

All About Athens

The birthplace of Western democracy and the home of some of the most influential ancient philosophers of all time, Greece’s largest city has led the way in science, the arts, and knowledge for millennia. The Greek capitol, surrounded by mountains on the mainland’s southern peninsula jutting into the Aegean Sea, has a rich mythological, literary, and dramatic history. You can relive history at sites like the Acropolis, where Greek gods competed for the right to name the city, or the Agora, which once held religious temples and was used as a meeting place to discuss democratic matters. For one of the richest collections of artifacts and antique treasures discovered across Greece — including prehistoric pieces from the Neolithic Period and the Bronze Age as well as sculptures and statues from the Classic Period — you’ll want to check out the National Archaeological Museum.

Street art and buildings dripping with bougainvillea line the area of Plaka, one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited neighborhoods at the foot of Acropolis Hill — where you’ll also find restaurants serving up local fare like moussaka, souvlaki, and spanakopita. The neighborhood of Monastiraki, one of the busiest areas of the city, is home to a picturesque main square, rooftop bars, and an extensive market where you can buy handmade goods, antiques, and jewelry.

The green, sprawling National Gardens have entrances all over the city as they comprise nearly 60 acres of manicured grounds and crisscrossing pathways, and for art lovers, the National Museum of Contemporary Art showcases modern works created by Greek and international artists.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Athens

Athens has relatively mild weather compared to other major European cities, so there is no bad time to secure your vacation apartments in Athens. But during the summer, the days are very hot and sunny. You’ll want to get as early a start as possible to avoid being outdoors during the hottest time of the day. During this time you can also catch parts of the Epidaurus Festival, which runs all summer and celebrates Greek music, theater, and dance. This is also a popular time to visit the Greek Isles — although if you’re looking for a quieter experience, you may want to island-hop in spring or fall when you can still enjoy warm weather with fewer people around.

Winter brings much cooler temperatures, though it never gets below freezing, and there is a higher possibility of rain. The season also brings fewer visitors to Athens, giving you the chance to explore the city in a relatively quieter atmosphere.


Top things to do in Athens

The Acropolis

The towering columns of the Acropolis and the cracked steps leading up to them are synonymous with Athens. Many of the structures in the complex date back to the fifth century B.C., including the Parthenon and the Erechtheum. Originally dedicated to Athena, the patron goddess of Athens, and now a UNESCO World Heritage site, the ancient citadel symbolizes democracy and the beginning of Western civilization.

The National Archaeological Museum

As the largest archaeological museum in the country, this sprawling building is home to many of the greatest treasures of Ancient Greece. Here you’ll find antiquities dating back to the sixth century B.C. and pieces of Ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian art, including sculptures, drawings, and pottery. The museum cafe has a leafy garden patio that hosts works of art, musical performances, and other events.

Lykavittos Hill

Standing 909 feet tall, Lykavittos Hill is the highest point in Athens and offers sweeping vistas of the city. It’s a photo-worthy spot to get a good view of the Acropolis, and it is particularly stunning at sunset when you can see the sky explode into a sea of colors before the lights of the city’s ancient buildings begin to pop against the dark sky.
