Greek Vacation Rentals is the premier provider of furnished short term rentals and self catering apartments in downtown Athens, Greece.
Our homes are ranked #1 on TripAdvisor and we’re proud to say that after opening our homes for 8 years, many of our original guests are returning for repeat visits (even though they thought that their first trip to Greece would be a once in a lifetime trip).
What makes us so special? Of course our homes are clean, comfortable, in a safe location and walking distance to the Acropolis & other sites travelers like to visit, but it is our attention to detail, our insight into knowing what families need (because we’ve been a family of travelers), knowing what couples traveling together want (because we’ve traveled with other couples) and knowing that special something that makes the trip headache free for the person who is responsible for planning it (that would probably be you, the person reading this).
And just because I need this post to match the photo: we are still among the only homes in Athens with a full size clothes washer & clothes dryer. I know, you’re thinking, like my Greek husband did at first: 360 days of sunshine and you want to install clothes dryers? Guess what: You just might be in Athens with wet laundry on one of those 5 sunshine-less days. Why risk that? :-)
Sure, you’ll find a lot of nice looking apartments for short term rental in Athens. Check them out, and then check in with us – you will be personally pleased with your choice, but you’ll also be the true Greek hero to your traveling companions.

How does a little girl from Skokie, Illinois find herself in historical Athens, leading curious explorers through the winding streets of Plaka, down "pezodromos" to hidden ouzeries for tempting mezedhes and homemade barrel wine? The journey began more than twenty years ago, and regardless of whether the wanderlust comes from the spiritual and culture DNA flowing through my veins, or the alignment of the stars on that cold mid-December day this Sagitterian came into the world, I never seem to tire of exploring my adopted homeland of Greece. Here you'll join me as I explore Athens: be it the back streets of Psirri and Gazi, or through the National Gardens and Zappeio where a family of turtles makes their home, or down wide, treelined Imittou Street in Pagrati, which pulses with Athenian life 24 hours a day. And while Athens has stolen my heart, the rest of Greece vies for my curiousity and wanderlust. My two guys (that'd be the Greek God, Vasilis and our Greek dog, Scruffy) and I can often be found settling in for a long weekend in some charming mountain village, or a quaint fishing port on a nearby island, or learning how Greek vitners are producing wines that rival some of Napa Valley's finests productions, or celebrating a panayeri in Epirus or sharing in the festivities as a family of Cretan sheepherders come together to sheer their 1500 sheep in the spring ... And if you happen to find yourself heading to Athens, consider finding yourself a real home for your stay. Living amongst the locals, be it for 3 nights or 3 weeks, will offer you the chance to experience true Athens, beyond the Acropolis. Choose from one of our 5 beautiful penthouse and historical homes, and who knows, I may be leading you down that winding "pezodromo" to our favorite hidden ouzerie!
