About Aris

I studied cinema in Canada and I am both Greek and Canadian citizen. I love architecture and I have renovated 16 houses in Athens. For 15 years I had a company, which made pieces of art from fier forgat, blown glass, marble and wood.

Aris purchased this house in 2006
Why Aris chose Central Athens

Because is one of the few neoclassical houses (early 1900's), which haven't been destroyed. So I saved it and I totally renovated it, to all it's previous glory... Another reason was the amazing positive energy that comes out of this house and the area around Acropolis...

What makes this house unique

Griffin House offers you the convenience of being very close to all of Athens major sites, and a comfortable home in a very small and quiet street just fifty meters from the Acropolis museum, a hundred meters from the Acropolis subway station, and two hundred meters from Acropolis.

The house is located on a very quiet street and sleeps from 2 to 6 guests. Please note that rates start at 100-120 euro/night for 2 guests, 130-160 euro for 4 guests, and 160-200 euro for 6 guests (low-high season), making this a FANTASTIC alternative to other 5 stars hotels.

The house is a great option for 2 or 3 couples traveling together, offering each couple their own bedroom and private bathroom, with a spacious living room and kitchen, along with a 50 sq. meter private roof garden.

4 happy travelers

We are two couples who are very happy we reserved this 3 bedroom house for our 8 night stay in Athens. The property is as described. It is well furnished with plenty of clean linens, a kitchen that is user friendly. There was a nice touch of fresh fruit upon arrival, along with a bottle of wine. It has lots of closet space and having a washer and dryer to do your laundry before embarking on your next destination is a great amenity. After a full day of walking it was nice to be able to unwind on the upstairs patio, using the bar-b-que to prepare some local seafood.
Ari could not have been more helpful from the time I inquired about this property. He responded very quickly to any questions I may have had, he not only showed us the 'around the corner' local places (Bakery, ATM, grocery store)' he also took us on a walking tour of Athens showing us some local nook and cranny places we might never have found. When we booked a taxi tour, on our own, he spoke with the driver to make sure we would not be missing any of the sites along the way.
Ari is the most amicable host I have had the pleasure of meeting in our numerous stays in VRBO properties. If there was a "host of the year" award he could win hands down!
We highly recommend this rental!!!!

This is THE place to stay in Athens

Needing a little R & R, I reserved this place in Athens. It was everything we'd hoped for and more. The rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean in this beautiful home. Ares, the owner, is the perfect host; he even brought us a bowl of fresh strawberries to enjoy for breakfast. My friends and I were so comfortable in the beds and felt well rested for our outtings to see the sights. The rooftop garden was my favorite place - it's charming, private and made us feel like we had Athens all to ourselves.
This home is not only beautiful, it was the perfect launching spot for all of our outtings. We were able to get out to the islands easily then come back to the house and roam the local shops and restaurants on foot since they're so close. We mastered the subway which is only about a block away and saw even more than we'd expected.
If you're lookin for a place to stay in Athens, this is the place. It's everything described and more. We have fond memories that will last a lifetime thanks to Ares' hospitality and his lovely home.

Beyond perfection!

Submitted: April 11, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
My husband and I have recently returned from spending 2 wonderful weeks in March in Greece. We spent our first 4 nights in Athens in this spectacular home. It is beyond perfection. The owner has restored this home to such a high standard. It has 10foot ceilings, hardwood floors, beautiful artwork, modern bathrooms with designer fixtures and a fully equipped kitchen. It is so spacious, 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, a large living area and a huge rooftop terrace with a BBQ grill and new outdoor furniture. TV is great with many English channels and there is also a large movie library. Wifi is easy and fast. The location is also choice being a 5min. walk from the Acropolis metro station. Easy access from the airport.

The owner, Aris, speaks perfect English and is very eager to make your stay perfect. He always responded immediately to my emails and was waiting for us when we arrived even giving us a tour of the neighborhood. You could not ask for a nicer, more personable man.

I also highly recommend Greece in March. We had 2 weeks of temperatures between 50-70 degrees with only 1day of rain. We travelled to Rhodes, Crete and Santorini and we saw very few tourists. The only negative was that some of the sights had shortened hours or were not yet open for the season. The Greek people were amazing, so friendly and helpful.

I highly recommend this home in Athens and would personally love to stay there again. An extraordinary home at a bargain price!

Amazing Stay

5 of 5
Submitted: February 17, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
The Griffin house was the perfect house for our vaction. The location, amenities, price, comfort, and Aris all made our stay in Greece complete.
Aris, the owner, is the most thoughtful and caring peron you could ever meet. After changing our trip plans a few times he was still very accommodating. He took the time out to show us the near by market, bakery, atm, and other conveniences around the block.
Thank goodness for the amenities in the house because our baggae was lost for a day. There were towels, soap, shampoo, and much more for incidents likes this.
The apartment was exactlly perfect for our family of 5. The beds comfortable, the linen clean, the ambiance beautiful, and the kitchen well stocked.
The location of this apartment couldn't be any better! Acropolis meuseum just up the hill. MANY eating places 2 minutes walk away. Delicious bakery 1 minute walk away. ATM and 24 hour market just 2 minute walk away. Acropolis, Arch of Hadrian, and Temple of Zeus 15 minute walk. Not to mention the tour bus stop right up the street.
The price was perfect. Usually as a family of 5 we are charged for 2 seperate hotel rooms at 100euro + per room per night. The beauty, comfort and location of this apartment beats any hotel! I
This apartment will meet all your needs for your trip to Greece!

Absolutely wonderful!

My husband and I along with our 4 adult sons enjoyed the perfect Christmas/New Year holiday, 11 nights, at Aris' Griffin House. Situated just down the hill from The Acropolis, the house was everything we had hoped: the main room spacious enough for us to relax, the bedrooms most comfortable, the kitchen allowed us to make breakfast at our leisure before a day of touring, the 2 1/2 baths beautifully appointed, and the washer/dryer combo made our stay even easier.

The location is superb for walking throughout the center of Athens and the metro is just a few blocks away. We took the metro from the airport, approximately a 45 minute ride; Aris then met us for the short walk to the house. After showing the house, Aris took us around the blocks nearby to point out the fresh fruit vendors, bakery, supermarket and ATM. There are many nice restaurants and coffee shops in the area as well. A few days later we met Aris at 10am for a walking tour around the greater Acropolis. A walking historian, Aris was able to keep us quite entertained and informed with stories from the past about the historical sites and buildings we were viewing. We stopped for a traditional meal of souvlaki and tzatziki near the Plaka, continued touring through the gardens near the Acropolis and finished our outing around 5pm.

Thanks again, Aris, for making our holiday stay the best!
