Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Greece

The apartment was as shown on the photos and the location was great. Only a few minutes walk to the metro. Vasilis also gave us some useful tips and recommendations for restaurants, bars and so on. Check in was easy and Vasilis was super friendly!

The apartment was great—exactly as pictured. Super clean, cozy, and in a perfect location. Everything we needed was there, and the host was really friendly and helpful. It made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable! Very satisfied even for our short stay!

Mike was great from the start…we booked last minute and he texted me immediately. He made everything very easy and was extremely friendly when we got there to check in. He showed us everything about the apartment that we needed to know and gave us lots of tips on where to go to eat and to see the best sites. The rooftop space was beautiful and the apartment was very close to everything in the area… We were able to walk to everything! I would definitely recommend staying there… Thank you, Mike!

The arrival in Athens to this area was eye-opening. We were on/near a busy street and there were restaurants down below. What was the surprise? No noise! We felt like we were home but with all the amenities outside we could walk to. Tried several of the nearby restaurants, walked to pharmacy and shopping. This place is so perfect I made a note to stay here again. And I never repeat a place! So excited to go back to be welcomed by Haidi’s perfectly clean, perfectly location apartment!

Amazing location, clean and modern pool and bar area. Sea view room had the most amazing view.

Beautiful place and great host

Hosts were responsive and had good clear communications. Apartment was very clean when we arrived. The space and furnishings was exactly as described and depicted in the pictures. Being close to the metro was a big plus and was walkable to the Monistaraki area.

Such a beautiful Airbnb. Best part is the hot tub actually gets hot, not just lukewarm (which i’ve noticed a lot of other hot tubs in Greece are only lukewarm) so that was a plus. Very modern setup and the view was great. Unfortunately I was very sick during my stay, but Jeff and Katerina were so nice and responsive and even helped us get a taxi to the ER, and checked in on us throughout the day. Truly such great hospitality and we are so appreciative for all of the help that they provided for us. Any question we had they responded to us right away with such helpful advice. Thank you so much for everything ♥️♥️

I stayed at Athena with my partner and wow it was so cute!! The perfect place to stay! The host was beyond helpful and helped us check in and was there to show us around the accommodation and check if there was anything missing that we may need. He gave some nice recommendations for local places as we hadn’t visited before. The place was spotless and clean and overall just a beautiful design inside! I loved the fact there was even a mini gym downstairs! The only downside to this great place was the fact there was a school opposite so there were multiple bells that rang throughout the day and the kids could be quite noisy. If you plan to be out exploring during the day this would not be an issue We throughly enjoyed this place and our stay and would definitely recommend : )

Me and my partner stayed here for 4 days in the Athens and it was nothing but amazing!! The room is exactly how it’s pictured if not bigger in person, the balcony has a shutter you can put down to completely black out the room which was our favourite feature and helped us sleep amazing😍the outside entrance does look a lil scary at first but as soon as you enter your room it’s a completey different vibe we could not recommend this air b&b enough

Nice, pretty apartment. The building was under bug control, so unfortunately we met several bugs. Location in a great place, close to the beach and many opportunities in terms of shops, coffee, food.

I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for your wonderful hospitality. My stay at your place was more than just accommodation — it was a warm and special experience. The house was very clean and comfortable, but what truly stood out to me was the traditional charm and heritage feel of the space. It gave the place a unique and authentic character that made the stay even more meaningful. It’s clear that you put a lot of care into every detail to make your guests feel at home — and you truly succeeded. Thank you again for everything. I’d be more than happy to return in the future or recommend your place to friends and family. Warm regards, Muath Alrashed معاذ الراشد

From the start, Sia and her husband were very warm and welcoming. At check-in, they walked us through the apartment, which looked exactly like the photos. The view is fantastic from the front balcony. Everything was very clean. Loved that there were electronic blinds for most windows. We rented a car and there was a parking spot available for us in Sia's garage. We did find the bed a bit too hard for our tastes (to each their own!), and we sometimes had trouble with the wifi dropping in the main bedroom. Overall, we loved Sia's place and would stay there again!

Everything went smoothly during my stay , no disturbance , the place was clean and looked exactly like the photos. The hosts are great people and very responsive. Overall a great place to stay.

Perfect little accommodation to do something between two trips: even the Acropolis can be seen. I felt very comfortable. Thank you!

Our family loved our stay at the Airbnb. Anastassia and her father were warm and welcoming. They met us on arrival, gave us a tour, and explained everything clearly. Pavlo even brought us refreshments afterward—top-notch hospitality! The place was clean, well-kept, and in a perfect location close to everything. The balcony was a favorite spot where we relaxed, watched the sunrise and sunset, and enjoyed the view together.

We can highly recommend this accommodation. It's tucked away in a very secluded spot, which makes it wonderfully peaceful. At the same time, you can reach restaurants and a mini market in just a few minutes. A car is essential! The garden is stunning. The biodiversity is incredible. There's always something new to discover. The house is quite small and simply furnished, but that was absolutely fine. Everything was clean, and that's what matters most. The long driveway leading to the house can be a bit intimidating—it just slopes down without any railing or guard. But that’s just part of the Cretan charm. Giannis was always very friendly and helpful—thank you for everything! We also got to know the neighboring family and even visited them. Such kind people. And the animals! Aphroditi the horse, a peacock, chickens, and turkeys—our daughter loved them. Overall a great experience. We were very happy and would definitely recommend it. Who knows—maybe we’ll be back in a few years!

The porch and view are amazing, and the location is perfect.

The loft was just as advertised. The amenities provided are great. It is spacious and very comfortable with everything you need. The hosts were super helpful and quick to respond to any question.

We had a great time at Rachel's place. The apartment was as described and impeccably clean, comfortable beds, pool and beautiful environment, we will definitely be back. Rachel as well as Sylvia and her husband were very welcoming and available. We thank them.

A beautiful Crete getaway in a great home. Charikleia will always be there for you to answer your questions, give you good recommendations and even bring some traditional sweets. The accommodation is very well located, quiet and relaxing with all the equipment to be comfortable during the stay. You have nearby not even a 5-minute walk to a small convenience store and a 10-minute walk to the beach and small restaurants (be careful in early November only 4 open restaurants). To get to Elafonisi or Balos, plan to drive 3h10 and 3h45. For a family of three we really enjoyed this largely livable place as a family. The pool is a real plus. It was a great vacation and I really recommend this place. Thank you again for your kindness and generosity. Thanks for the three of us!

This a great apartment. Spacious, great kitchen facilities, 2 balconies. We loved being there. The family is really nice, friendly and helpful. We were there for 3 nights but would like to have stayed longer. It's comfortable and homely. The views of the mountains and the ruins of Mystras are fantastic.

We had a great time here! Panayotis was very helpful, and had lots of recommendations! We stayed here the night before our ferry to the islands and it made for a very convenient trip in the morning. We grabbed dinner to-go and enjoyed it on the rooftop deck (for sure a highlight of our trip, and a memory we will have forever!). The only hiccup we had was finding the apartment on our way in. Although I think that was more our fault and not the host’s. Just a heads up if you decide to book I would definitely take them up on their offer to pick you up or take a taxi. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here! ☺️

The villa is clean, well stocked, and spacious. Simos was incredibly responsive and great to communicate with. The area is lovely, with a few excellent restaurants in walking distance, wineries and olive farms really close, and Knossos Palace also a short drive away. It’s a great place to unwind and the proximity to the Heraklion airport is also a bonus if you’re flying off the island.
