Greek Vacation Rentals offers you the very best of both worlds in downtown Athens. The convenience of being close to all of Athens' major sites, and a comfortable home to call your own, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

This is a 5 star self catering Athens vacation rental apartment, located on a very quiet street, walking distance to the Acropolis and sleeps from 2 to 9 guests. Please note that rates start at 200 euro/night for up to 4 guests, 300 euro for 6 guests, 400 euro for 8 guests, etc, making is a FANTASTIC alternative to places like the Grand Bretagne and the Athens Hilton, and other 5 star hotels. The addition of a lock off portion of this penthouse makes it a great option for 3 couples traveling together, offering each couple their own bedroom and private bathroom, but with the added bonus of a large living room and kitchen, along with private outdoor living space and views. See reviews of our past guests linked at the bottom of this page, there is no private home in Athens with as many happy guests are our home.

This luxurious penthouse is perfect for your short stop in Athens or a longer sojourn. Light, bright and airy, our contemporarily furnished 3 bedroom duplex with 2 (or 3) full baths features a large veranda off the kitchen and open living room where you can enjoy your morning coffee away from the noise of the city. Both of the second floor bedrooms open to another veranda where you can enjoy the sun and warmth of Greece, curl up with a book. Enjoy an ouzo on the roof terrace, overlooking the Acropolis, Lykavittos, the mountains and the sea.

Planning a family reunion trip to Greece, or perhaps a study group coming to explore the ancient sites of Athens? Our twin duplex vacation rentals are exactly what you have been looking for.

A fantastic gourmet kitchen with granite counters, dishwasher, stainless appliances and a floating island offer the chance to prepare a meal of the freshest finds from one of two nearby weekly farmers markets, or perhaps a purchase from the Central Market that you just had to buy and can't take home. Dine al fresco on the veranda, or under the stars on the roof terrace.

Just returning from a visit to the islands? Wash away the sea salt from your clothes in the full size washing machine and dryer. No car is needed to explore Athens, but if you have brought one, indoor parking is available. Spend the day sightseeing and retreat to your own personal haven, a home away from home, to rest and recharge before enjoying Athens by night.

So if our home sounds like your kind of home, contact us for further details and availability.

WE DO NOT OFFER ONE NIGHT BOOKINGS unless combined with a longer stay.

About Carole

Wow, who would have thought when I told my husband I wanted to buy a little pied-a-terre in his hometown, Athens, Greece, that I'd end up with the greatest accidental career of my life? Born and raised in Chicago, my love for travel was evident early on. Perhaps it was my arrival in the world, early one December morning, way quicker than my siblings had, in fact so quick we were still enroute to the hospital, and I still hold the title of youngest patient ever admitted to that north suburban hospital! (And thus, as a Sagittarius, characteristically smitten with wunderlust). I traveled my home country extensively with my family as a child, and was fortunate to have parents who encouraged us to study a second language young.

Carole purchased this apartment in 2003
Why Carole chose Central Athens

While my language of choice as a child was French, my culture of choice was Greek - My earliest jobs were always in Chicago's Greek diners, my university days filled with hours playing backgammon in the cafeteria with my Greek friends, and my Eurail passes always started and ended my European backpacking holidays in Greece. So no one was surprised when I met Basil, a romantic writer but practicing translator and linguist, born and bred in Athens, but transplanted to Chicago, fell in love, and married him. While our life in Chicago was full, rehabbing a warehouse we purchased to house ourselves, our son and our growing Greek translation agency, I longed to plant some roots for our family in Basil's hometown. A small studio overlooking Mount Lykavittos was to be our Athens crash pad, but thanks to what seemed then an unfortunate turn of events, our home in Athens ended up being the beautiful Athens First Luxury Duplex. Larger than we had planned, offering it as a short term furnished rental seemed the logical way to afford it. Little did we realize that it would become so popular we'd be sleeping on friend's couches rather than in our own Athens home! Tired of being homeless in Athens, we purchased a second penthouse directly adjacent to the Athens First. In 2006 we completed the renovations of three additional short term furnished rentals.

What makes this apartment unique

As I said early on, this is the greatest accidental business one could imagine, and I love sharing my adopted city with visitors. Our guests repeatedly thank us for the little extras that often mean so much when you are planning what is often a once in a lifetime trip. As an ex-pat in Athens, I know the wonderful off the beaten path places that can make a holiday special, and I also know how to stay on the tourist path without feeling like you are being herded along with the crowds. Feel free to email me with your questions as you plan your trip to Athens - just one of the little extras guests of Greek Vacation Rentals will find when they share our homes in Athens.

Athens penthouse

5 of 5
Submitted: November 3, 2007 Stayed: March 2007
My family stayed in this lovely penthouse in the spring. We could not have felt more at home anywhere - the kitchen had everything one could want - full size appliances and a good supply of spices, etc. in the cabinets - coffeemaker, even a toaster. We loved having coffee in the morning on the great veranda, and at night the terrace was the perfect place for a nightcap overlooking the Acropolis.
The beds were the most comfortable we have experienced in Greece, with plenty of pillows and blankets, although for most of our stay only a light blanket was needed (the apartment was heated, but we never needed the heat).
The apartment itself would have been perfect, but the owner, Carole, is by far the best conceirge we have ever encountered in all of our travels. She understood exactly what we wanted, and provided us with a great map for our do it ourselves trip. From day trips to little tavernas we never would have found, to meals that cost half of what we saw offered in the touristed Plaka area - she was really terrific.
The apartment actually looks even better than the photos! You won't go wrong staying here - we actually stayed twice!

Fabulous comfort in a great location

5 of 5
Submitted: February 16, 2013 Stayed: February 2012
I stayed in the Acropolis apartment on a winter getaway in February. There was a lot going on in the news and everyone thought I was crazy. Carole assured me it was fine and she was so right. We had great weather and Carole planned out my short stay meticulously. Walking around was fabulous. The location was great - walking distance to everything with a real neighborhood feel to it. I could have spent days on the Acropolis and the museum is a must see - worth another whole day. The apartment was beautiful, luxurious, with everything I could ask for - from adapters to wine and ouzo! It was so wonderful to come back to a lovely apartment with an amazing view of the city .The kitchen was beautiful and great to cook in. I am so glad I found this ... Carole made everything so easy. I am planning a family trip next summer when I can spend more time.

I loved my stay at this property! The apartment is beautiful, well appointed and very clean. Everything was just as described, but better. The terrace is especially nice, a perfect place to relax in the morning or evening after a full day of sights. I'm a frequent traveler to Greece and I love staying at this property. Highly recommended for families or a group of friends.

Lovely accomodation in the perfect location

I stayed in this apartment with my husband and 3 children in the week leading up to Orthodox Easter. We couldn't have been more pleased. The street was lined with orange trees, which smelled heavenly. The apartment itself was just what we needed: two nice bedrooms in the house, and a bedroom and bathroom separate in the garden, which the children loved. There is a small paved garden, with a table to sit at on a raised terrace, and that was much enjoyed for a read in the sunshine. The location is ideal for tourists. The street is just off the huge pedestrian area surrounding the acropolis, and we rarely resorted to public transport or taxis; we walked everywhere. There were loads of places to eat nearby, and lots of great advice from the owners for places to go in and around Athens. We had a wonderful tour of the Acropolis from Poppy, who was a pleasure. It was a wonderful place to stay.

A Perfect Vacation Getaway

The Heritage House was spotless. A warm greeting, and a thoughtful goodie basket welcomed us to the apartment. The Heritage House is in a very convenient location - a 5 minute walk to restaurants, nightlife and the metro and a 10 minute walk to the Acropolis. Carol was a wonderful host. She helped us organize transportation to and from the apartment, a full day private tour of the Acropolis with Popi that our entire family voted as the highlight of our vacation, and a sunset tour to the Temple of Poseidon.
