Holiday rentals in Athens

Plaka and Monastiraki are the classic old-town choice — walk to the Acropolis, eat well, expect some evening buzz. Koukaki is quieter and still walkable to the sights. Psyrri suits night owls; Kolonaki is the upscale shopping quarter. All are metro-connected.

Metro line 3 runs from the airport to Syntagma and Monastiraki in about 40 minutes. The X95 express bus serves Syntagma around the clock, and a fixed-fare taxi takes 35–50 minutes depending on traffic.

Two to three nights cover the Acropolis, the museums and the old town at a relaxed pace. If you're connecting to a ferry from Piraeus, an extra night near the centre beats an early-morning scramble.

Usually, yes. Prices come straight from each home's calendar with no guest service fee at checkout, and you see the full price before you book.
