Greek Vacation Rentals

From reservation request to final departure, our group of eight was delighted with this rental experience. The location of the apartment provided easy exploration of important Athens sites. A thirty minute walk or a 5 euro cab ride delivers you to the Acropolis, Agora, Plaka, Temple of Zeus, Hadrian’s Arch, Parliament and more. A full service grocer is just across the street with bakeries, confectionaries, restaurants, and a taxi stand only steps away. Do not miss the quick serve Dionysus restaurant next door the apartment where we treated like neighbors and where we enjoyed superb souvlaki, kebabs, chicken and pork. Just across the street is a small shop with great freshly roasted nuts, whole bean coffee, granola, and more. Just a perfect location. The apartment was nicely furnished and immaculate. Each of four bedrooms has a full bath with flexible sleeping accommodations that were perfect for our blend of couples and singles. The fully equipped kitchen included stove, oven, microwave, coffee pot and dishwasher, and a complete set of cookware and serving dishes. The hosts provided a generous basket of local food and wine to help us get quickly settled. A balcony off the main living space adds a comfortable fresh air gathering place and a rooftop patio adds even more with a bonus view of the Acropolis and Parthenon. We were greeted on arrival by the local contact who gave us a tour of the property and brief introduction to the area. She also provided a reassuring local contact number. The bonus for this property was the extraordinary service. The hosts arranged for our transfers from the cruise port at the beginning of our stay and to the airport on our departure. They also provided private tours of Athens and nearby areas, including a private tour of the Acropolis with a licensed guide. Nikki, our driver, and Averkious, our Acropolis guide, were both excellent and we suggest you strongly consider these services which can be tailored to your group needs. Prices for these extra services were very competitive and the added convenience of making and paying for these arrangements through the host was a major plus. Location, Location, Location?

Ideal for families and larger groups. walk to popular sites. Shopping very convenient nearby, restaurants, taxi stand, ATMs etc.local representative very friendly and accommodating. we did have issues with the elevator but maintenance came in reasonable time. Was very clean and comfortable. great roof top views of the acropolis.

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.

From start to finish our experience with Carol Kezios and her team was flawless. The condo was beautifully modern and very accessible for my husband who is in a wheelchair. We had peace and quiet and yet were in the middle of everything. We there for nine nights and had a real opportunity to go to historical sights at our own pace. We also enjoyed farmers' markets and local coffee shops, etc. The condo was simply lovely and had everything one could possibly ask for. Thank you, Carol, for making our second trip to Athens a beautiful experience which we will never forget. We would love to come and stay with you in the future.

This apartment was beautiful, updated, spacious and perfect for our vacation. It was very comfortable, my room had a Murphy bed and it was so comfy I looked forward to going to bed at night! No hard, thin mattresses in the whole place. The veranda was so nice to spend time on with my family with a table and chairs and 2 couches. We cooked breakfast everyday, which was easy to do because the kitchen was well-stocked with all the dishes, utensils, pans, and spices. We just had to add food! This apartment was near a good supermarket, several great bakeries, great restaurants, we really didn't lack for anything we needed. And its central to all the great Athens landmarks and good public transport. We also did a couple of day trips with a driver that Carole helped set up for us, and all I can say is it was some of the best money we spent on vacation. We toured Athens and Corinth, our driver, Nikos was OUTSTANDING. He was super friendly and knowledgeable. He also transported us to the airport, which made the entire trip simple. I definitely had many questions for Carole as we setup this reservation, and she was very helpful and quick to respond and immediately took care of any issues that came up. She's awesome, hands-down one of the best experiences I've had in booking an apartment in Europe, which I've done many times as its my preferred way to travel. I will stay in one of Carole's properties again when I visit Athens, and I will definitely use Nikos our driver again on future trips.

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.

We were fortunate enough to enjoy this apartment with family in April '15 The apartment was extremely comfortable and well appointed. Every detail was set with great care. The beds were comfortable - even more than we had hoped, and linens were plentiful and fresh and the bathrooms were modern and lovely. Since it was the second week of a 2 week vacation, the washer and dryer were very welcome! Having an elevator was most welcome after a long day of traveling. Although I try not to cook on vacation, it was great to be able to enjoy our breakfast each morning in the fully stocked kitchen. Lots of info in the apt regarding local restaurants, a map, DVD's to be enjoyed in the evening. Luckily our beautiful weather allowed us the opportunity to enjoy the lovely terrace. The location was perfect with a grocery, several (maybe too many) bakeries, restaurants and shops. Owner, Carole, arranged our driver for us and it was the best suggestion and best money spent on this whole vacation. Nicos was friendly, punctual and above all knowledgeable! We learned more about his wonderful city than we ever could have managed on our own. He kept us laughing all the while filling us with fantastic information. His restaurant suggestions were right on the money. Our last excursion with him was to the Temple of Poseidon at sunset and it was the perfect ending to our magical trip! Thank you to Carole for all your wonderful help in making our trip so wonderful.

Five of us, friends from Australia, enjoyed a wonderful return visit to Athens, due in part to the very comfortable accommodation we found there. The advice and help provided by the owners was invaluable and made our stay so much easier from the very beginning. We all loved the apartment!

We loved our stay in Athens in Carole and Basil's 4 bedroom/4 bath condo. There were 4 over 50++ something women who travelled and everything was perfect. There was a nice basket with a bottle of wine, all kinds of goodies and Ouzo chilling in the fridge when we arrived. The location was great with the best Greek restaurant literally right next door (souvlaki to die for) Great bakery on the corner ~ best chocolate I've had. The grocery and liquor store was across the street. What more could we want?! The beds were all very comfortable each with their own a/c. It was so nice to have a living room and kitchen to gather while we were in the condo. We were so happy we each had our own bathroom in our bedrooms and the washer and dryer came in handy so we could have clean clothes prior to starting our cruise. Nick, the driver, was not only handsome but prompt, courteous, professional and a veritable walking encyclopedia of Greece. We loved having our private driver to take us to the Temple of Poseidon and Delphi ++ a very comfortable ride to and from the airport. I would definitely recommend this condo. It was safe, quiet most of the time (sometimes at night the bands played until wee hours of the morning), close to everything we needed and taxis were plentiful, if needed. Carole has been so kind and very patient with my million questions and last minute changes.

The apartment was accurately described in HomeAway. Carole, the owner, e-mailed us a very detailed document on all aspects of the apartment, sites to see, things to do, local restaurants and cafes and other things to help us quickly get oriented with the place and Athens. The apartment was immaculate, and the local caretaker, Nadia, was readily accessible and helpful. There was a nice rooftop deck with a 360 degree view of the city, including the Acropolis. The major sites were within walking distance or a short taxi ride away. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend it to others..
