Vacation rentals in Athens

We were very happy to be back at Spiros’s place again after our holiday to Naxos and Paros. It’s the fifth time we have stayed and it was such a lovely end to our vacation. We loved sitting out on the rooftop looking at the Acropolis, eating out in wonderful restaurants and absorbing the history and culture of Athens. Spiros was so kind and friendly - he even bought us a bottle of wine and chocolates at the end of our stay. I highly recommend Spiros’s place - it’s clean, comfortable and right in the centre of the Plaka. You won’t find a better rooftop terrace in the whole of Athens! Thank you Spiros and we look forward to coming again for our holidays next year.

Amazing stay - area was beautiful, accommodation exactly as described and Charis gave clear directions and instructions of everything - Nico welcomed us and took the time to explain everything to us which was lovely too! Would definitely go back and recommend to friends and family. Athens is a beautiful city

My husband and I stayed here to start our honeymoon and it was the perfect stay in Athens! The location was a manageable walk to great areas like the Acropolis, Monastiraki Square, and Syntagma with great restaurants and shopping. The view of the Parthenon at night was amazing!

This team was extremely responsive, friendly, and helpful with any and all questions / concerns that we had. With four people on this listing, someone was always available to answer. The views were beautiful and it was less than a 10 minute walk to the city center. While the bathroom was a bit small the place itself was very clean and we are so happy we stayed here.

It was great to be in such a lovely neighborhood with restaurants nearby and a view of the Acropolis. The penthouse was very private and well equipped. Loved the two terraces. We highly recommend this place!

We couldn't ask for a better location for our 3 nights stay in Athens with a small baby, right in Plaka and walkable to the Acropolis and other sites. Despoina and Kostas were very friendly and accommodating with a crib for us and quick responses. The property is as described, decorated tastefully and fitted out thoughtfully for a city break. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Athens!

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment is close to all of the sites and many restaurants. The ac is a must after a hot day of walking around. We felt right at home and very comfortable. For Americans traveling; the washer and drier is a single unit but it works (give yourself 4-5 hours for a load of laundry). We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place in the heart of the city.

Location location location. The best view of rhe Acropolis from your own patio. Close to many things in Plaka. Little tricky following the instructions for the keys. The place was very clean. Had trouble finding the garbage/recycling at the end of the stay--would prefer if we didn't need to throw the trash couple alleys away

The location was perfect- right in the heart of Athens with stunning view of Parthenon. Restaurants, shops and historical sites are few minutes walk .Our flight arrived early. Host was able to accommodate us to check in early. Apartment itself is perfect. Functional kitchen, comfy couch and AC. Exactly what we needed after long day of exploring. Highly recommend staying here if you want unforgettable view, convenience and comfort. Efthimis, thank you for your hospitality. U were an amazing host.

We felt at home at this location. A grocery store was close by and the location was close to so many places we wanted to see while visiting Athens. It was a quiet neighborhood with a little bakery and coffee shop a few minutes away. We always felt safe. We definitely would stay there again!

We loved Liana & Theodosios’s Airbnb! The views were amazing and the location was perfect! Walkable (10 minutes to the Acropolis) to all the big things you’d want to see in Athens but also in a more residential area so it was quiet with local restaurants around the corner. We loved sitting on the terrace every morning with our coffee and breakfast. Liana was very communicative and proactive about checking in on how our stay was going. If we had to find something we didn’t love, the shower was small and the shower head sprayed sort of sideways so water would get all over the bathroom. Manageable but not the best. Also if you’re hoping to cook at home a couple night, there isn’t a cooking surface besides a panini press but most people probably eat out every night. This is all being nitpick-y though. It really is an amazing place to stay!

Great central location. Despite the activity outside the room was quiet and the bed comfortable.

The view is truly spectacular! From each window and the large sliding doors Athens and historical sites surrounding you. The veranda is large and spacious five stories up. Hostess responds in minutes and provided excellent restaurant recommendations. We enjoyed the Jasmine Cottage around corner where we found the most “homemade “ Greek food way less expensive than further up the street. Truly a unique kind.

We loved our time in Athena’s apartment, it had everything we needed and the location was perfect for enjoying all Athens has to offer. We will stay again any time we are in Athens!

We had a fantastic stay at this apartment. The location is absolutely perfect; everything we needed was within walking distance, which made exploring the city super easy. The apartment itself was cute, clean, and cozy, and the views of the Acropolis were truly breathtaking — definitely a highlight of our trip! Our hosts were kind, welcoming, and very responsive throughout our stay. We also arranged transportation through them, and our driver was amazing: punctual, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Athens. We’d love to come back!

Aikaterini was not only very responsive and gave clear instructions for check-in and check-out, but she also allowed us to check in early to accommodate flight times. There was a fully stocked kitchen and bathroom for our arrival. Overall, great host and place to stay with only a 15-20 minute walk to the Acropolis and the Central Plaza.

Romanos and his team prepared the property with attention to detail prior to our arrival. He arranged our transportation to the property and after we left. He was very welcoming and provided us with complete information about the apartment, the surroundings, places to eat and things to do. He was responsive to messages we sent. The apartment is in a perfect location with a wonderful view from the two decks on the 7th floor. It was very walkable to the different interesting destinations in the city as well as wonderful restaurants and cafes. We would definitely stay at Romano's (Stray Cats) apartment again. Note, that the elevator takes you to the sixth floor. Your luggage will need to be carried up the last flight. Romanos was very kind to help us with this. Thank you for a wonderful stay in Athens!

We were blown away by the location in Athens and Eva’s assistance from booking to checking out. Great location, so close to Acropolis and Plaka. She sent us recommendations for everything and arranged taxis for arrival and departure. The apartment is spacious, clean, and has incredible views. We would definitely stay again!!

The host Romanos was very friendly and responsive when we had questions. The room was in a perfect location for seeing all the sites of downtown Athens.

Wonderful place to stay with a lovely host! She gave us loads of good recommendations, and was so friendly and helpful. Would love to stay here again

We really enjoyed our stay at this Airbnb in Athens. The apartment is exactly as shown in the photos – charming, stylish, and located in a fantastic area, close to everything. That said, there were a few things that could be improved. When we arrived, the apartment wasn’t properly cleaned – there were crumbs and food stains on the kitchen counter and dining table, which was disappointing. The washing machine also didn’t work, which was inconvenient during our stay. In addition, on the day of our departure, there was a taxi strike in Athens. We had messaged the day before saying we were leaving early, and it would have been very helpful if the hosts had informed us in advance about the strike. We barely made it to the airport on time. Also, the water in the shower tends to spill over, and there’s no proper bath mat – just a small wooden platform that doesn’t feel very hygienic between guests. Still, the apartment itself is lovely and well-equipped, and we had a great time overall.

Arrived in evening & found entrance was at far end of road which was uphill. Taxis were on strike day we arrived after a 45 minute walk 😢. We should’ve caught the Metro. Keyless entry system worked fine. Wi-Fi worked well. Tried local restaurant the 1st evening, recommended & cheap. Apartment had all amenities except a microwave which we didn’t need. Spotlessly clean & & photos are accurate. Nice complimentary bottle of wine & water on arrival. Jacuzzi on patio was lovely. Text communication with Panagiotis was excellent & he messaged several times to ensure we were OK. Used local metro at bottom of hill which is great to get into central Athens & only €1.20 a journey. Uber is about €7. Breakfast in morning on back patio is lovely as sun rises with distant view of Acropolis. Nice to sit on front balcony at end of day watching sun set. Panagiotis was so helpful with any text communication. Would highly recommend.

Staying at Phos was absolutely incredible! The apartment was beautiful and had a balcony with an amazing view of the Acropolis!! Cris and Eva were super responsive and kind. It was a fabulous place to rest from the hot afternoons, and was super close (~15min or less walking) to the Acropolis, Agora, & Monastiriki market! They also offered a taxi service from the airport at a very reasonable rate to get to the apartment early so we could drop off our luggage from our early flight and get to exploring Athens immediately - Leonidas was an awesome taxi driver!

We loved the views and the home, gorgeous!!! Be aware that you need to walk luggage up 2 flights of stairs, worth the effort! Small items like shampoo and cream rinse would be a welcome addition. Also, this sleeps max 4 people, if 2 people share a bed. The bathroom and shower are beautiful. The deck is a once in a lifetime view. The restaurants in the neighborhood are gorgeous, but it’s good to know that the nightclubs go until 3am.
