About the home

Our spacious Acropolis Blue home features 4 bedrooms each with its own en suite full bathroom which makes it the perfect hotel alternative. With three triple bedrooms (each with 1 Queen and 1 twin bed) and one double bedroom, there is plenty of room for everyone without sacrificing comfort. You'll love our full American style kitchen with full size appliances and an extra large clothes washer and extra large tumble dryer mean you'll be able to pack light for your trip to Greece.

Located in one of the best downtown residential areas, just minutes from all this historic city has to offer, you'll feel at home using our computer or yours to stay in touch with free WiFi and free international long distance phone service. And once you've caught up with the office (or not!) you'll enjoy relaxing in the living with its own flat screen TV, cable, home cinema and fantastic DVD library.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The Acropolis Blue has been furnished with imported Sealy Posturepedic beds, dressed in silky soft bed linens and adorned with plenty of pillows to please even the most picky guests. And as one of our recent guests commented, "no bath towel rationing in this home" - our guests each receive a complete set of oversized fluffy soft Egyptian cotton towels, including hand towels and wash clothes. You'll love relaxing in our spa hydromassage shower or jacuzzi style whirlpool tub and wrapping yourself dry in our provided bath robes after a long day of exploring the historical center of Athens or climbing around the ruins at Delphi or Ancient Corinth.

Enjoy dinner al fresco on the private veranda with a sneek peak of the Parthenon atop the Acropolis rock or explore our neighborhood where Athenians gather for coffee at the end of the day.
In the morning you'll appreciate having coffee at the breakfast counter, the dining table or on the veranda as your group plans the new day's activities with the help of the trip tips we provide.

Conditions

We do have a 3 consecutive night minimum stay requirement, but occasionally we do have a "hole" in our booking calendar to fill, so don't be shy about asking us if we have anything available (but please don't be angry if we do not ... our homes are often booked many months in advance).

The Attica region

Explore Attica, Delphi, the Peloponnese, and the islands all from your comfortable home base in Athens. Why both packing and unpacking when you can venture out to the port of Pireaus and catch a flying dolphin to Hydra or Aegina and be back in your own comfortable bed that night?

Delphi is a great day trip, visit the lovely mountain village of Arahova en route - we can even arrange a driver for your trip, or help you reserve a car and do it on your own with our provided maps! The Argoloid peninsula is the perfect day trip for everyone: Archeology, beaches, wineries and great food, make this a day to please everyone, while getting you back to your comfortable Sealy bed that night.

The Athens / Plaka, Athens area

Historical and modern Athens at your feet! While the historical centre is just a 10 - 15 minute walk from the penthouse, en route you will pass the Old Olympic Stadium, Hadrien's Arch and the Temple of Zeus, Syntagma Square and the changing of the guard in from of the Parliment. You can also visit the President and Prime Minister's homes en route to Syntagma, and join the Evzones as they march to their positions in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier!!

Trendy and chic Kolonaki is located just a 10 minute walk from the penthouse, and en route you might want to visit the National Art Gallery, the Byzantine Museum, the War Museum (great for airplane enthusiasts!), the Benaki Museum and the Museum of Cycladic Art.

At your feet is the vibrant Imittou shopping district. A double wide, boulevard type street, with one side pedestrian, is lined with trees and cafes and is the place for an afternoon "volta" with the locals. Two indoor movie houses and two outdoor movie theaters, for summer films under the stars. Cafes and restaurans, great shopping and even three farmer's markets each week make this the perfect home away from home in the centre of Athens.

We're located in downtown Athens, about 30 minutes by car from the Athens International Airport, 15 minutes by car from the port. While most of our guests opt to let us take care of their transfers, you can reach us by metro, we're a short walk from the Evangelismos metro station - a direct line from the airport.

For guests who want to explore outer Attica or Delphi, we can recommend several nearby car rental companies that will bring your car to you or we can connect you with a fabulous driver which leaves you free to enjoy the sites.

“Family Vacation Excellence” Incredible, delightful, helpful, useful, beautiful, spacious! All of these words do not adequately describe the beautiful home setting that Carole and Basil have created for their visitors to Athens. I am an experienced traveler that has stayed in the cheapest to the expensive. I have planned trips myself and I have used travel agents. I have used many online service to find those special places for my two girls (4 & 8) and my husband. The four of us are not hard to please but easy to spoil. By far this is the best online experience I have had in the last two years of traveling. When I found the accommodations provided by the Kezios I didn't realize I wasn't just renting a space for my family (six of us in our group included my mom and dad) but I was about to embark on an experience of a life time. Our apartment was beautifully decorated and very functional for our family. I don't know how many times I have rented an apartment with Satellite only to realize that no one knew how to work it or find English channels to watch. We had a fully stocked ready to start feeding our hungry family kitchen including a welcome basket of goodies and treats. It was nice not to have to drag a computer with us as one was provided for our stay. Also in the apartment were guide books, everyone in the neighborhood knew the owners of our apartment and the store was literally right across the street. The beds are to die for and every night we were so tired and the beds just hugged us good night. Carole takes a lot of pride in knowing Athens and it is apparent in her offerings and recommendation. I have been working at planning several of our family vacations and I just needed someone to make my family vacation happen for me. I gave Carole our specifics about our family, likes and dislikes and said she should take charge of what we should do during our stay. The week prior to arriving we exchanged emails and we began the final plans for our arrival. We had airport pick up arranged by Carole, we arrived at the apartment and was met by the housekeeper and given a tour of the facilities. Then I revealed the weeks itinerary planned by Carole. Everyday I would receive a new or updated plan as Carole watched the weather and made recommendations based on sunny days. Now this in itself is full service but she did all this from the States. We received a day walking tour with guide which added so much to our understanding of what we were seeing and the history Athens provides us! WE LOVE POPI! My daughters talked Greek Mythology, history, barbies, travel, and walked away with a wonderful new friend. Carole was able to put together a wonderful day of Greek cooking in the Apartment with a wonderful pastry chef published in one of Greece's cooking magazines. We shopped in the local farmers market for veggies, bakery for bread, wine shop to top off our dinner, and the store across the street for some of Athens best cheeses. After all our shopping was done we began making the best meal I have ever tasted. Evi, our chef, was able to include our girls and my parents in the whole process. It was nice using the apartment for the class as the girls were able to participate or not at their own pace. My parents were able to relax and enjoyed the show. And finally we enjoyed a glass of wine together with our chef and then ate a magnificent meal we had learned to prepare. Nick our driver also recommended by our hosts, took us on two day trips and was our airport connection. I cannot say enough about how he made sure our family was comfortable and even helped my parents with a little restaurant get away while we played on the beach. When we returned to Ukraine my parents and kids could not stop talking about how wonderful vacation they had! I was a hero, and it was all due to my secret weapon Carole. While in Athens we spoke about her everyday and she was our 7th traveler. Even on the day we were cooking we were sitting at the computer exchanging emails and it felt as if she were cyber cooking with us. It was so much fun, relaxing, and all around the BEST vacation we as a family have taken because the stress of planning and knowing what to do wasn't there. Even our last minute 3 Island tour was a breeze because I didn't have to take care of any of the details. You would be crazy not to stay here and be well cared for by Carole and her friends.
