“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.

“Great way to visit athens.” I've booked repeatedly with Greek Vacation Rentals and I'm never disappointed. The apartments are very attractive & comfortable. The apartments have everything a traveler for business or pleasure might need. The surrounding neighborhood is the athens equivalent to Lincoln Park in Chicago or the Upper West Side in Manhattan. Walk out your door you're in modern athens and short walk or taxi ride your in ancient Greece! Back to the apartment and post the whole experience to Facebook. I've spent many a happy hour drinking a glass of wine on the terrace.

“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.

“A wonderful stay in a lovely home with homely and gracious peopl” We had a lovely time in the cottage. It provides more than what is said on the advert.It has a big garden and a spacious environment. Liana and family are lovely, kind and hospitable people. They love to have people around and as frequent travellers, this is the first place my family and i felt soo welcome. She makes lovely dishes and her cottage is cosy, big, clean and well equiped. Its a great place for children too and very close to amenities. Its highly recommended and we will be there again in the near future. I would love to use this opportunity to say a big thank you to liana,her husband, Dimitris and Stella for an unforgettable Holiday. You are all great people!!! God bless you all.

“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)

Athens holidays
Ancient history is all around you in Athens, Greece. Athens and its myriad archeological sites will dazzle anyone with an interest in early Western civilisation. A tour of Athens naturally begins at the Acropolis, the focal point of the city and the locus of ancient Greece's most powerful city-state. From the Acropolis, you can walk to other historic sites via the Grand Promenade, a system of pedestrian walkways that were installed before Athens hosted the 2004 Olympic Games.
In addition to the Acropolis, other highlights in Athens' include the Agora, the Street of the Tombs, The Temple of Olympian Zeus, and the Theatre of Dionysus. After delving into ancient history, head to the Anafiotika neighbourhood, a surprisingly quiet and picturesque district, built in the 19th century by Anafi Island stonemasons. To get a sense of the modern city and its unusual blend of old and new, head up to Lykavitos Hill, where you can get a bird's eye view of the metropolis.
While best known for its illustrious history, Athens is a very liveable city with wonderful contemporary culture. For high end shopping, check out the Kolonaki district. Head to the posh Plaka neighbourhood to browse through boutiques and dine in restaurants tucked within cobblestone alleyways. although you will find a mix of food from various world cultures, enjoying traditional Greek cuisine is one of the greatest pleasures of an Athens holiday. When visiting one of Athens' tavernas, try traditional plates like olives, Greek salad, souvlaki, fried fish, octopus, grilled anchovies, roasted lamb, and fava beans.
The top sights in Athens are:
- Acropolis: The flat-topped rock in Athens' city centre is home to some of the most famous Golden Age monuments from ancient Greece, including the temple of the Parthenon.
- Ancient Agora: Near the Acropolis, you can visit the market and meeting place in ancient Athens where Socrates once taught his pupils.
- Benaki Museum: The permanent collection at this fine art museum contains treasures of the ancient world, paintings by European masters, and work by 19th and 20th century Greek artists.
- Byzantine and Christian Museum: Delve into the history of Greece's Byzantine period at this well-stocked and beautiful fine art museum.
- National Archeological Museum: This impressive museum contains art and artefacts from every era in Greece's long history, with a particularly awe-inspiring collection of antiquities from Mycenae.
- Daphni Monastery: Just outside the Athens city centre, this Byzantine monastery was built in the 11th century and has been designated a World Heritage Site.
Enjoy your trip to Greece with a holiday rental in a historic Athens neighbourhood. If you are interested in seeing the ancient sites, book a luxury apartment in the city centre, where you can easily walk between monuments. Those who will be staying in Athens for a longer holiday may wish to rent a condo in one of the city's contemporary neighbourhoods like Kolonaki. Or, if you are looking for a more relaxing trip, consider an oceanfront villa in one of Athens' outlying neighbourhoods.
