“HOME away from home” I booked Acropolis Blue for a group of 6 people (3 couples). Initially, the group felt that the apartment was expensive compared with hotel rooms they suggested (especially after the credit card and exchange rate premium added). I wanted something much better than small hotel rooms. Their opinion changed when they stepped into the apartment. The first comment was it definitely is worth the money we paid and they just loved it.
It essentially is a HOME with 3 en-suite bedrooms. (In fact, there is a fourth one that we did not use.) We enjoyed the usage of the large balcony for relaxation and breakfast. The roof top had a view of the Acropolis and we enjoyed sunset there too. Clean, comfortable, well equipped and maintained. Just like HOME away from home.
Good location with lots of good restaurants nearby. Nadia gave us good advice. Oh, we had breakfast in the recommended little bakery three times during our stay. We had alll our dinners around the apartment area during our stay except the day we had a day trip out to Cape Sounion for sunset. I like to sum up our dining experience as good food, cheap, and FUN.
Friendly and helpful service. Carole responded to all requests and questions I had during the booking process. Nadia who welcomed us at the apartment and Nick who took us out for two day trips were just great.
Overall, we enjoyed staying in Acropolis Blue and the excellent services provided.
“Excellent Accommodations and Tour Assistance” 10 of us stayed at the Acropolis Alpha Plus apartments in June of 2013. We found the apartments absolutely perfect. They were immaculate upon our arrival and everything was explained to us by Carole and Nadia(?). Lots of room for our group and everyone commented on how nice they were. It was very nice to come back at the end of the day, sit on either the balcony or the rooftop terrace and just relax with a glass of wine. Fantastic experience. Also big thanks to Carole for arranging our tours, they were superb and went exactly as expected. Overall the Athens experience was fantastic and it was all due to Carole and her willingness to help. If we go back to Athens, I will definitely be speaking with Carole again. Thanks so much!!!!
“Fabulous apartment with a great balcony and lounge.” We had a wonderful stay in this penthouse apartment. It was quiet and very well equiped. It is a 30 minute walk to the centre of Athens and all its amazing sights. The food market tour was brilliant and gave us the chance to try some great cheeses and meats. The supermarket down the road has a good supply of fresh food.
“Great for a family” Nikos, the owner of the apartment, was extremely caring of our needs. He will pick up from the airport (for a fee). A taxi from the airport cost approx 35 euros. We caught a taxi to the Acropolis Museum (10 euros), but there is a local bus service. There is a rooftop terrace with great views of the Acropolis. We travelled as a three generation family of 7 which was a bit tight for the apartment, but for a couple of nights it was a very homely base. (Sydney, Australia)

Great Place to Stay in Athens!
My wife and just returned from a wonderful 8 days in Athens with our two adult sons. Our accommodations at the Lykavittos Hill View Duplex Penthouse were perfect: a great apartment that was clean, roomy, secure and attractive with a balcony, well-appointed kitchen and two baths. The apartment was also in a great neighborhood where the sites of Athens are accessible by foot (about a half-hour walk to Syntagma or Hadrian’s Arch), a cheap cab ride (5 euros) or public transit. The neighborhood where the apartment is also fantastic: filled with Athens locals, groceries, coffee stores, bakeries, banks and restaurants. Also, very few tourists. Although we speak no Greek, merchants were more than willing to help figure out what you wanted, and usually there was someone around that could interpret. Carole and her staff were great, making us feel at home and catering to our needs. We initially thought about attending a performance at the Epidavros Theatre, but figured we couldn’t manage to drive there and back by ourselves. Carole arranged for a wonderful day trip with a wonderful driver, Nicos, who took us on a 12 hour trip to Corinth, Mycenae, Napflio, and finally to the performance at Epidavros, getting back to Athens securely and entertainingly. While we initially found this apartment on a third party site, we would recommend booking directly with Carole as she has her own web-based billing system both for apartment rental and booking tours. …

Steliana's Athens happy sunny pool cottage,near the airport ATH of Athens GR
Wonderful peaceful and fully-equipped cottage with fantastic, very helpful hosts!
We have just come back from a marvellous two-week vacation at Steliana's Cottage and we miss it so much! We really felt at home here and slipped into a different pace and mode of life entirely. It is hard to come back to normality.
Steliana's cottage is a beautiful traditional stone villa with all the amenities and equipment you could wish for, and close enough to the Metro station for daily trips into the centre of Athens.
We travelled with 2 children who absolutely loved the large, clean and well-maintained pool and who were constantly in and out of it - which, given temperatures of between 36 and 39 degrees C, was hardly surprising! Everything we needed for home cooking was provided and there is a supermarket, patisserie, bar and even a Lidl (!) within walking distance. There is also a vast Macarthur Glen shopping mall you can walk to, although we generally stuck to the smaller shops.
We did quite a bit of sightseeing - museums and historical sites, both within and outside Athens (Delphi, Sounio, Mycenae and Epidavros) - and also enjoyed strolling through the flea market at Monastiraki and sipping coffee at Kolonaki Square.
We did not hire a car but used public transport a lot and splashed out on 2 organised tours which we arranged and paid for by Visa before we arrived. The Metro system itself is fantastic for getting around Athens - simple to figure out and very cheap (1.4 Euros per adult for 90 mins of travel; 0.6 Euros per child). Liana tirelessly drove us to the station and picked us up each time and we cannot thank her enough for her promptness and generosity in this.
The cottage itself is light and airy and there was plenty of room for us all to spread out. All the equipment, such as DVD and internet, worked beautifully and we were able to relax in the cool interior or outside in the peaceful garden, when we felt too hot and bothered from our sight-seeing. We ate out in the garden most evenings - exactly the thing you come to a warm Mediterranean country to enjoy!
Liana really made this the most wonderful holiday for us and it was so depressing coming home after two weeks of sunny bliss! She was always kind and helpful and full of local knowledge - it would not have been the same without her. She picked us up from the airport and dropped us there at the end of our holiday, despite the very early flight time. She even gave us a massive basket of delicious home-grown fruits (grapes and figs) and freshly-laid eggs, which, sadly, we could not finish properly before we left as there was so much!
All in all, this was one of the best holidays we've ever ever had (and we have been travelling regularly via Holiday Lettings for the last 6 years). We've all come home longing to return now. The cottage is a little corner of paradise, Liana is an absolute angel and Athens is endlessly fascinating. We are already planning next year's escape to Steliana's cottage!! …
