About this property

Athens Riviera Apt.|7 mins WALK Beach|Priv. Pool|Parking|Best of Both Worlds|

Our 90m2 beach apartment, on the Athenian Riviera, makes it the ideal choice for combining a beach holiday, with a city trip to Athens.
The trip from our place to the Acropolis, with public transport, takes in total a little over 1 hour, along the beautiful Athenian Riviera coast.

FREE AIRPORT PICK UP SERVICE

We offer a FREE "Meet and Greet" pick up service from the airport to the apartment (4 persons maximum). We have a small sized car, so there is little room for luggage. More guests (over 4) and the luggage can follow us in a taxi (costs about 50 euro).

THE VILLA

Our seaside villa consists of two fully separate apartments/floors, each with its own entrance, of which our spacious ground floor apartment is rented out with exclusive use of the swimming pool and garden. The apartment on the second floor is no longer rented out separately.

If guests however wish to occupy both apartments (for instance the parents on the second floor and the children at ground floor, or more than 5 guests in total), this can also be arranged at an extra cost. Please contact us for more details.

THE APARTMENT

We are situated on the beautiful Athenian Riviera, south of Athens center, located in a quiet street in the lovely village of Lagonisi, at just a 500 meter walk from a lovely organized sandy beach.

NB: The marker on the map is not 100% correct. The reason for this is that there are two streets with the same name in our village and Google automatically picks the wrong one. We are located much closer to the coast, at a 500m (7 minute) walk from the main coastal road and the closest beach.

This apartment on the ground floor in a fully detached villa, has a private swimming pool, with 4 loungebeds and a umbrella, a sunny 170m2/1830ft2 lawn garden with a wooden table and 4 chairs, which also has an umbrella.

It also has a 100m2/1076ft2 enclosed front courtyard, ideal for children to play, with a smaller table and 4 chairs.

This (90m2/978ft2) apartment consists of a large living room with an open fireplace. It has an adjoining dining space near to the kitchen, with a table for 6 persons and chairs.

The living area has two large relax chairs, a three person chouch and a two person comfortable sofa bed/couch, TV set and airco, which covers the whole area, incl. the kitchen.

The kitchen, which has access to the garden, has all kitchen utensils needed (knives, forks, spoons, cups, pans, plates etc.), a fridge, a microwave, a coffee machine, a 4 pit electric cooker plus oven etc.

Bedroom 1, overlooking the garden and swimming pool, has a double bed, several large wardrobes and airco.

Bedroom 2, overlooking the front enclosed courtyard, has two single beds (one extra third single bed can be added), several large wardrobes and airco.

The spacious bathroom has a large bath, shower, toilet and washing machine.

OUR AREA: THE ATHENIAN RIVIERA

Just south of the hustle and bustle of central Athens, lies one of the city’s most treasured assets, also known as “Greece’s best kept secret”: “The Athenian Riviera”, which is the west coast of the Attica penisula.

Contrary to the east coast of the Attica penisula (the area from Marathon to Lavrio), where the sun sets landinwards, on the Riviera the sun set into the sea, offering long sunny days at the beach.

Some of the best sandy beaches in Greece, all with lounge beds and sun umbrellas, are at a short walking distance from the Villa.
In fact 3 lovely organized sandy beaches, one with a small children's playground (Aghios Nikolaos) and all with nice beach restaurants, are just down the road at short walking distance and are awaiting you.
The closest beach is at just a 500 meter walk (the others are at a 8 and 10 minute walk).
All 3 beaches are operational from May 1 to October 31; one beach (Bali beach) stays open all year round.

Many more sandy but also rocky beaches, both secluded and organized, can be found all along the south Athens Riviera coastal line, from "Varkiza", down to our village "Lagonisi".

At just a short walk from the villa are a supermarket and, a seaside cafeteria\bakery and a Greek seaside Taverna/restaurant.

The main street of our village, with supermarkets, shops, cafeteria's and restaurants is at just 1.5 km -1 mile; about a 15 minute walk.

There are many interesting places to visit on the Riviera, all easily reachable with public transport from our place, such as: "Varkiza", the lively fishing village with its nice seaside walking boulevard, restaurants and Varkiza Resort beach.

The impressive "Vouliagmeni" cave lake resort, where one can swim in lukewarm "healing" water all year round.

The posh Vouliagmeni area, home of the rich and famous.

The cosmopolitan city of "Glyfada", with its many high class shops of all kinds, cafeteria's and seaside walk.

An absolute "must" is "Cape Sounion" with the impressive Temple of Poseidon, famous its magical sunset.

The east coast, at a 30 minute car drive from our place, offers the picturesque village of "Porto Rafti", with its lovely bay and walking boulevard full of restaurants. "Vravrona", has the ancient Temple of Artemis, the Greek goddess of hunt and nature. Other places of interest are the lively ports of Lavrio and Rafina etc.

ATHENS

On the other hand however you are also “just around the corner” from Athens center, one of Europe's oldest and most interesting cities,

Athens center is easily accessible by public transport. The 122 Athens urban bus, which passes every 25 minutes, takes you along the beautiful coastal road straight to the metro station, from which it is just a few stops to the Acropolis. The trip by bus and metro to Athens center takes a little over 1 hour.

A 5 day unlimited travel card for both the Athenian 122 bus and the Athens metro, only costs 9 euro.

Apart from the famous Acropolis, the city also offers a number of other large impressive ancient sites, where one feels like taking a journey back into time.

Little electric street trains, open air double deck “hop on hop off” buses, horse carts, stand up mopeds and family bike carts, are just a few of the means available to explore the unique Athens center around the Acropolis. The new impressive Acropolis museum, which has been voted as one of the best museums in the world, is a “must”.

The world famous "Plaka" Athens tourist area, with its many narrow roads full of little shops and restaurants with live music, is considered to be one of the best tourist areas of any city in Europe and is an “obligatory visit”, both during the day as well as in the evening; experiencing that special “Athens by Night” feeling !

Lycabettus hill truly is impressive, offering a stunning view of the city. The “Teleferic” train, takes you up the hill though a tunnel inside (!) the mountain, where you can sit at the top restaurant and have a magnificent view over the city all the way to Piraeus harbor.

One must also visit the parliament building with the traditional Greek guards and of course let's not forget the lively center of modern Athens itself, with a its colorful neighborhoods and famous nightlife.

The picturesque "Mikrolimano" harbour in Piraeus (40 minutes by car from the villa), also is a tourist favorite.

The beautiful Saronic Gulf Islands: Aegina, Hydra and Spetses, are also easy to visit on day trips.

ONE DAY EXCURSIONS

If you like to explore our area and visit some of the most beautiful ancient sites of Greece, many interesting day trips can be made by car from the villa.

We also organize private guided one day trips by Mercedes car to the below.

Hi Dianna, Cherie and Bill, Thank you for your short, but to the point 5 star review and kind words as to us as hosts. It was a true joy hosting and getting to know you and we once again feel very lucky to have welcomed such nice guests from the USA. We are delighted that you all had such a great time in our apartment, enjoying your private pool, our sandy beaches, and loved our beautiful area (Lagonisi on the Athenian Riviera). I also look back with the best of memories on the day tours to some of the most famous ancient sites of Greece we went on together. Guests like you make it worth our while “to go the extra mile”. As we aways say: “guests may arrive as strangers, but we hope they leave us as friends”. We have the impression that we have succeeded once again in achieving this goal.

We had a lovely stay! The place was very clean and had everything we needed. It is located a 10min walk to 3 wonderful beaches, a delicious bakery and a grocery store. Our host, Con, was very attentive and very prompt with his communication. He picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. He also led us in a couple of day trips for an extra fee - it was nice to have help from someone local. Overall, would highly recommend the place!

Stay in Greece

We had a great stay at the ground floor apartment, it was exactly as described, clean and in a family friendly location. Con was extremely helpful and organised a local boat trip for us that suited our young son. He respected our privacy but was prompt on responding to any question we had either about the accommodation or about Attica area with useful tips and local knowledge. We would highly recommend both the accommodation and the hosts.

Communication was amazing from the moment we booked and nothing was too much trouble. He picked us up from the metro and drove us to the apartment, spent time showing us the local area and beaches and even took us to the supermarket to stock up on food.

Nice clean home in safe area

The property was exactly as advertised. It was about an hour from Athens and very close to the beach. The neighborhood is clean, safe, easily accessible by public transport, not congested, and very well lit by street lights at night. The owner is very friendly, helpful and accessible. Bedrooms are nice size with big closets. Living room and dining area is spacious with big dinner table. Kitchen is also good size with plenty of cabinets and all appliances in good working condition and clean. Bathroom is clean and everything in it works. A little distance from Athens and having to use bus and train is well worth the savings in rent costs. The owner is very willing to help with transportation in his car when requested.

Fantastic host and great accommodation

What can I say, this is one of the best stays I have had. Kon the owner and his family were wonderful and so helpful. He met us at the airport to ensure that there were no problems getting to the apartment. He then had a load of trips and suggestions which he could either take us to (which I would recommend as his knowledge was immense on the area) He took us to an unknown tourist place in the middle of Athens which looked like you were on an island. The cost of these tours were such good value much cheaper than the tourist organised ones which rush you and have no real knowledge of the area, however if you wish to go it alone that's also fine. He is great as he respects your privacy also and you can use his knowledge as much or as little as you wish thus providing a great balance for all. If all you want to do is chill by the pool there is no issue or pressure to do anything. Absolutely perfect for all types of travellers. I'd definitely go back and would recommend this accommodation.

Girls trip to Athens

I cannot say enough about our trip. From the booking process to our departure, our host Con made it seamless and stress free. From pick up at the airport, to taking us to the supermarket and acting as our tour guide on some of his stunning day tours. It truly was an amazing holiday! The property itself was awesome, with a full Kitchen, 2 bedrooms, good size bathroom. It has more than enough space, and a back yard to relax in at the end of our day, with a pool!! It is close to the supermarket, local bakery and only 7 minute walk to some of the most beautiful little beaches. Con offers several choices for amazing 1/2 day and full day tours, at extremely reasonable prices which we took full advantage of! In just 5 days in Athens we were able to do a full day walking tour, and 2 other tours which took us to some of the most beautiful sites , ruins and scenes in and around Athens. This property and our host made our girls trip even better than I could have hoped for. You will not be disappointed! I hope to plan my next trip with my family back to our new friends very soon !!

Hi Andrea, Donna and Carol Ann, Three “daring” Canadian ladies on a “girls only holiday” to Greece, withour their husbands and children… we had no choice, but to do our very best to see to it that you would have an a wonderful, worry free and unforgettable holiday with us ! It seems that once again we have achieved in reaching our motto: “guests may come to us as strangers, but we hope they leave as friends”. With such nice, friendly and appreciative guests as yourselves, hosting out our property becomes a true pleasure, which makes “putting in the extra effort”, more than worth our while. Thank you so much for being our guests and as agreed…. you will be back soon; this time with your families ! Your friends in lovely Lagonisi, Con & Karin

Fantastic holiday on the Athens Riviera

We had an amazing holiday at Con and Krin’s apartment on the Athens Riviera. The house is exactly as described in the listing, with a super swimming pool and outdoor space and tables at both front and back of the property, meaning we could enjoy sun all day and a lovely and very clean indoor space The property is 5 minutes walk to several beaches, and there is a really super bakery/patisserie and a supermarket close by too and lots of great seafood-based restaurants. The best bit of the holiday though was the service, which was impeccable! Con contacted us beforehand to offer a pick up from the airport, and was very helpful on arrival showing us the local area, a stop at a supermarket to get provisions and a visit to a local restaurant. We all really enjoyed the two excursions - one to Athens centre, which Con made very family friendly for our two young girls, and a super trip at sunset to the Poseidon Temple. Con also helped us out hugely when our flight back was brought forward at the last minute, commandeering a car to get us to the airport on time. We couldn’t ask for a better host experience, thank you.

Dear Andrew, Annelise, Kathy and Lizzy Thank you for your wonderful review. As so many times in the past, we once again feel very lucky to host such nice guests as yourself and your wonderful family from the UK. Communication was excellent from the beginning to your departure; it was a true pleasue getting to know you and we truly were impressed by the impeccable state you left the apartment at your departure. We are very happy that you had such a great time in our apartment, loved our beautiful area (Lagonisi on the Athenian Riviera), our apartment and our sandy beaches. We also really enjoyed taking you all on our private "custom made" guided walking tour of “Amazing Athens” (incl. the Athens "Disneyland street") and our special trip to Cape Sounion, to visit the majestic Temple of Poseidon; second only to the Acropolis. Guests like you make it easy “to go the extra mile”. We were more than happy to do so, especially when your flight back home was changed at the last minute and we nevertheless were able to drive you in time to the airport. As we aways say: “guests may arrive as strangers, but we hope they leave us as friends”. I have the impression that we succeeded once again in achieving this goal !! As agreed; you will be back !! Until then, with warmest greetings, Your friends in Greece, Con & Karin

A most helpful host

The apartment was comfortable with 2 good sized bedrooms. The bathroom has ample hot water, however in the absence of a plug for the bath or an attachment for the shower head we couldn’t wash/refresh ourselves adequately, this was rather annoying & we did let the host know this was a problem. The location is great for relaxing at one of the 3 local beaches, all within easy walking distance. We visited 2 of them where beds and umbrellas are available to rent for 20€ a day. Tahiti beach was the best and is near to a wonderful bakery and the supermarket. The host was very accommodating, picking us up from the airport. We also did a couple of his tours which were great and very informative & this enabled us to get our bearings. The day we went into Athens, to see the Acropolis he took us to the nearest metro station which was about half an hour drive, the metro into Athens from there took about 20 mins. Vrbo confirms the location on the advert is not accurate, however the apartment location is very near Souniou Avenue 205. Going further afield independently would have been challenging, had the host not been so accommodating. Overall we had a good rest.

Dear Caroline, Thank you for your positive review and we are very happy you had a good rest and very much enjoyed our apartment, sandy beaches and the tours we took you on. Just a short remark as to the bath not having a plug. You only informed us that this was an issue for you, when we dropped you off at no charge at the airport (from where by the way we also picked you up for free at your arrival), so it seems somewhat unfair to bring up this issue afterwards in this comment. Filling up our quite large bathtub everyday just to soak in it, in our view is an extensive wasteful use of water. During this year’s very dry summer season, we were urged by our municipality to not waste, or over consume drinking water and we followed this request. As to our location, its is clearly described in our listing text on VRBO; on top of this, before confirming your booking, we again informed you of our exact location. Finally, as we showed you, there is a busstop at 600m from our apartment; the bus passes every 25 minutes and the ticket is only 1.20 euro to Athens. We also showed you that one can download an english App for the exact departure times from our busstop. We understand that for you and your sister, two ladies in their early seventies, taking public transport might be challenging, but this certainly has not been the case for all our other guests over the years. Best regards, Con & Karin

Great Location outside of busy and hot Athens!

This stay was exactly what we were looking for! The home was comfortable and clean in a quiet community but only a 5-minute walk to 3 lovely beaches. Our stay at Con and Karins 2 bedroom ground floor apartment was very enjoyable. Each day we would start the day with coffee on the patio overlooking the pool and then later walk to the beach to relax or swim in the sea. On several evenings, we would walk to the beach to watch the sunset. Con picked us up at the Athens airport and drove us back to his place with a stop at a grocery store so that we could have what we needed for the week. We did 2 tours that he put together to highlight several of the attractions in and around Athens. It was nice to learn about Athens from a local without having to be in a large group. Con also suggested several areas to go and visit on our own and also places to eat and see. Everything that he showed us and also suggested turned out to be the highlight of our 2-week trip. Con took all of the stress out of being a tourist in a new country. The public transportation is easy to access right down the street from the apartment and will allow you to visit all over the Athens area. I highly recommend a stay at the Athens Riviera Apt if you want a place out of the crowds and heat of Athens and have access to the beautiful Sea!

Great apartment and the kindest host

We enjoyed the stay very much. Con is a great host and picked us up straight from the airport. He also drove us to the supermarket so that we were immediately stocked with food for the first days. He also offered us various tours with him as a tour guide, which we could take as we wished. We decided on the Athens tour, which was really great and enriching for us. Con knows a lot about Greece with its culture and history and takes a lot of time for his guests. He showed us some really beautiful places that are rarely discovered by normal tourists. The apartment is very clean and well maintained, and the private pool in the garden is also really great. Also worth mentioning is the air conditioning, which made the nights very comfortable. There is also a very well-kept kitchen with everything you need for cooking and a cozy living room. Con speaks several languages ​​fluently, so it was very pleasant for us as Germans to be able to talk to him without any language barriers. He valued our privacy very much, but was always available if we had any questions. The beach and sea were beautiful and within walking distance, as were supermarkets and restaurants. The holiday in Lagonisi combines the best of two worlds, on the one hand the great beach holiday, on the other hand you can experience a lot of Greek culture, especially Athens and the Acropolis was a real highlight for us. Thank you Con for this great holiday, we can recommend your apartment wholeheartedly!

Dear Andy, Thank you for your wonderful review and kind words as to us as hosts. As you correctly state, a holiday in Lagonisi on the beautiful Athenian Riviera combines “The best of two worlds”; on the one hand it offers a great beach holiday and on the other hand Athens (and the Acropolis) are at just one hour from our place. Communication was excellent from the beginning to your departure, as we speak German. It was a true joy hosting and getting to know you and we once again feel very lucky to welcome such nice guests as yourself and your wonderful family from beautiful Bavaria in Germany. We are delighted that you had such a great time in our apartment, loved our beautiful area and our sandy beaches and of course our private swimming pool and sunny garden.

A wonderful week in Athens!

We spent a wonderful week at Con's place in Aug 2022 with our 2 young children (5 and 7yrs old). Overall, we felt this break was the perfect mix of city sightseeing and relaxing beach holiday. We arrived late and were met with a warm welcome from Con at the airport to bring us to the accommodation which made our journey there stress free. They had provided a home cooked meal for us and the children for our convenience due to our late arrival which was both thoughtful and much appreciated! The apartment was spacious, comfortable and well equipped, the garden great for the children playing, the pool a welcome relief from the heat! We chose 2 tours with Con. One into Athens before having a day exploring the city on our own. He was informative, made it fun for our boys and tailored it to our needs going over and above what we expected. The second was a trip to the Temple of Poseidon at sunset followed by an enjoyable meal in a local restaurant- a great way to spend the evening. We spent afternoons and evenings at the local beach within easy walking distance. We all loved Bali beach, and played happily for hours in the beautiful, blue, shallow waters before enjoying a meal at the beach bar. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. There is also a lovely cafe/ coffee shop/ bakery at the end of the road which is not to be missed. We really appreciated the efforts made by Con and Karin to help us make the most of our stay- recommendations for places to visit, advice on public transport, the kind offer of lifts where needed. For a week, we did not feel we needed a car ourselves but for longer stays this may be useful. We would highly recommend a stay here, and have taken away many happy memories from our week in Greece! Many thanks to Con and Karin for their hospitality during our time in their place.

Dear Dominic, Jayne, Elliot and Luke, Thank you so much for your wonderful review ! It was a true pleasure and joy to host you all in our seaside apartment on the Athenian Riviera and we are very happy that you spent such a great time with us. As you correctly state, our place is the perfect mix of a Athens city sightseeing trip and a relaxing beach holiday and we look forward to welcoming many more nice guests like yourselves from the UK. Arriving rather late, after a long trip with delays and with two young boys, we thought it would be a welcome gesture to have a home made meal waiting for you at your arrival. As to your two boys, I must say that they very positively impressed us. Despite their young age, the relative heat and the possibility of weariness with so much impressions, they never nagged during our private guided walking tour of the historic center of Athens, but all along kept interested in hearing what Con had to say. The same goes for our wonderful trip to the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion and the fact that they knew its connection with the story about the Minotaur labyrinth in Crete, followed by a nice evening dinner at the sailing port of Lavrio (although the boys were dozing off a bit afterwards !). Guests like you make it easy “to go the extra mile” and we were glad to do so. As we aways say “guests may arrive as strangers, but we hope they leave us as friends”. I have the impression that we succeeded once again in achieving this goal !! As agreed; you will be back !! Until then, with warmest greetings, Your friends in Greece, Con & Karin

Fijn huis voor Athene en omgeving

Erg naar ons zin gehad. Het huis is goed bereikbaar en met de auto, maar ook lopend of met het ov is er in de omgeving veel te zien en doen. Fijn ruim huis en tuin. Heel luxe met eigen zwembad, wel fris in oktober. Matrassen vonden we niet heel fijn, maar dat kan persoonlijk zijn en had geen invloed op onze vakantie. De eigenaar was altijd bereikbaar voor goede tips over de omgeving. En de eerste avond stond er zelfs een Griekse maaltijd voor ons klaar, heel aardig!

Un propietario muy atento

La casa es sencilla y amplia. Tiene menaje de cocina completo, secador, toallas y juegos de cama. He echado en falta tostador de pan. La piscina y el patio mayores de lo que parecen en las fotos, y muy gustosos. Playas cercanas maravillosas. Aparcamiento propio. Gracias a Constantin , es un anfitrión espectacular. La única cuestión a tener en cuenta es la ubicación, la cual no se corresponde con la indicada en la web, está situada mucho más al sur en una zona más tranquila y playera, en mi opinión mejor zona, aunque te hace dependiente de un coche de alguiler como en nuestro caso, o supongo que habrá autobuses que te lleven a Atenas o a una población con metro.

Gracias por tu reseña tan positiva. Fue un verdadero placer recibirlo a usted y a su familia y estamos muy contentos de que haya pasado un tiempo tan agradable en nuestro apartamento. Nuestra zona constituye la combinación ideal de una zona de playa relajada y un viaje a la ciudad de Atenas. Como menciona correctamente, nuestro apartamento está ubicado en la hermosa Riviera ateniense en la zona costera llamada Lagonisi. A poca distancia a pie del apartamento se encuentran tres playas de arena organizadas, un supermercado y una gran cafetería/panadería. El centro de nuestro pueblo, con muchas tiendas y restaurantes, se encuentra a 1,5 km a pie. A 800 metros del apartamento se encuentra la parada del autobús urbano de Atenas, que pasa cada 25 minutos y tarda 45 minutos en llegar a la estación de metro Ellinikon. Desde esta estación de metro llegarás a la Acrópolis en 20 minutos, por lo que todo el viaje en transporte público desde nuestro apartamento a la Acrópolis dura poco más de 1 hora y tener coche no es una necesidad absoluta. Gracias una vez más por ser nuestros huéspedes y esperamos poder recibirlos nuevamente.

THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF A RELAXED BEACH HOLIDAY AND CITY TRIP TO “HISTORIC” ATHENS

The apartment was spacious and very comfortable. It is homely decorated, very clean and well equipped with all necessities. As privacy is ensured, eating outside in the garden beside the private pool was an amazing experience for us, coming from cold and wet Germany. Nearby the apartment, on the main street, are a supermarket, a pharmacy and a lot of various delicious restaurants. A bakery, a seaside cafeteria and a mini market are also close by, at just a 5 min walk. A bus stop is nearby as well, so it is possible to reach Athens center by public transport, which is very cheap and good. The bus takes you to the metro, on a drive along the beautiful coastal road. The whole trip from the apartment to the Acropolis (bus + metro), takes a little over an hour. The people in Greece showed us a lot of kindness and welcomed us warmly. Despite English not being an official language in Greece, the majority of people know English very well, so it was easy to communicate with them. Three beaches are close by and easy to reach from the apartment by walking for some minutes. They aren’t too crowded and offer an amazing view of the sea. In general, the scenery of the area was very pretty, which made us want to explore it more with each passing day. Con is a very nice and friendly host, who was eager to help us out with many things, such as driving us to the supermarket to stock up items we needed. He also picked us up from the airport, drove us to the apartment and at arrival there, he showed us around the scenic, lively but not too touristic area, where the apartment is located. Furthermore, he provided us with a lot of information, also answering all our questions and gave us many local tips and suggestions for trips around the beautiful Athenian Riviera and in Athens. Since he speaks multiple languages there are no issues whatsoever concerning communication. He made sure that we enjoyed Greece to the fullest and that we were having a good time. He also was flexible despite having his schedule. In addition, he offers sightseeing tours around the area and in Athens, where he operates as a driver and a photographer as well. With his great knowledge about Greece's history, he is an amazing guide too. On the last day, he drove us to the airport too to ensure a safe trip back home. We highly recommend spending your holidays at this property and will be coming back there in the near future!!

During the 10 years that we now rent out our property on Homeaway/VRBO, we have had the pleasure of hosting wonderful guests from all over the world in our apartments on the Athenian Riviera; many of which have re-stayed with us several times and have become our friends. With no intent to do any injustice to all these very nice people, we would like to mention that is was not only a pleasure, but a true privilege, to get to know Mohamed and is family and hosting them in our apartment. One cannot ask for nicer tenants than Mohamed and his family: friendly, open, polite, communicative, discrete and very respectful of our property (they left it in an impeccable state at their departure). Thank you very much Mohamed, for your wonderful and complete comment. We are very happy that you and you family spent a fantastic holiday here on the Athenian Riviera and I espescially enjoyed showing you the historic center of Athens on our guided walking tour, going on our tour to the majestic temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion and on our “shopping” trip to the “Greek Discount Village”, followed by a seaside dinner in picturesque Porto Rafti.

About the host

Hosted by Con & Karin

Host profile image

Hi, We are Constantijn and Karin and we are from the Netherlands.

We moved to Greece 20 years ago, because Constantijn was transferred to a Dutch multinational company's office in Athens, fell in love with the city and we never looked back !

We used to live in Athens center, but 14 years ago, after holidaying in the area, we decided to go with our (then) small son for quality of life and moved to the beautiful Athenian Riviera.
It is a peaceful, secure place with friendly people, where one can still enjoy authentic Greek hospitality.

Our property is located in a quiet street, at a short 7 minute walking distance from several lovely sandy beaches and truly is the “Best of Both worlds”. You are in a holiday area, but also at just an hour with public transport from the Acropolis.

We live near the property and are always available for any info or assistance you might need.

We love traveling ourselves and enjoy meeting people from all over the world and making their stay with us as pleasant as possible.

Our motto is “ You may come to us as strangers, but our aim is to say farewell to you as friends”.

Why they chose this property

Our apartment truly constitutes "THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS", since it combines a relaxed beach holiday, with a city trip to Athens; Europe's oldest capital.

It is the ideal choice for guests who want to enjoy Athens to its fullest, but don't want to stay in the busy city itself, but prefer to stay just south of it, next to the beach.

Just south of the hustle and bustle of central Athens, lies one of the city’s most treasured assets, also known as “Greece’s best kept secret”: “The Athenian Riviera”.

All along this gorgeous photogenic stretch of palm tree coastline, with it's five-star resorts, spas, esplanades, marinas, rocky coves, windsurfing, sailing and sandy beaches with blue-flag certified crystal clear waters, you can experience the kind of island magic that many people come to Greece for, …. without having to set foot on a ferry !

This is where we are located, at just a 7 minute walk from several lovely sandy beaches.

Athens center is easily accessible by public transport. The 122 Athens urban bus, which passes every 25 minutes, takes you along the beautiful coastal road straight to the metro station, from which it is just a few stops to the Acropolis. The trip by bus and metro to Athens center in total takes about 1.5 hours.

Our property is also ideal for going on one day tours, to some of the most famous ancient sites of Greece such as Delphi, Mycenae, Ancient Corinth etc and for visiting the near by Saronic gulf islands, such as Aeghina, Hydra and Spetses, on one day trips.

It can also serve as a "home base", for two day trips to islands a bit further away, such as Santorini, Myconos etc
