Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Plaka, Athens

Super helpful host; helped make my plans work out when they changed last minute.. would stay again!

I really enjoyed my stay at ZOIA, the neighborhood is peaceful and walkable, really close to the Exarchia district with all the bars and to the Pedion tou Areos park, which is perfect for a morning run or a casual walk. The apartment itself is really nice, with lots of space and all required amenities for a longer stay. Would definitely come back!

We very much enjoyed our stay. Great location, quiet building, located on a high floor with a nice balcony, strong air conditioning in every bedroom, elevator, washer/dryer, and full kitchen with dishwasher. A few short blocks from Syntagma square and away from the hilly parts of Kolonaki so easy to walk to places from. There is a mini market next door and larger grocery stores and a shopping district just a few blocks away. Marina was flexible on check-in and we would try to stay there again if we find ourselves back in Athens.

Had a fantastic stay, great value and really helpful host. Loved lounging in the outdoor beds!

The view alone made this. It was amazing to wake up and go to sleep looking at the Parthenon from your balcony. The penthouse was beautiful. Lots of space, you can spend time with your group or go to the separate floors and have your privacy as well. As I read in a previous review, it didn’t have a few things you usually get in an Airbnb to get you started, like coffee pods, a few detergent pods for the washer, things like that, but those are minor. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone that is heading to Athens and wants to be out of the main core. Bus and subway stops aren’t too far to get you where you need to go.

The hostess is a super nice person who knows the area well & proactively suggests things that are currently happening in the city (e.g. concerts, etc.) The apartment is 4 subway stops away from the city center and is almost directly next to the subway station. There are some good restaurants nearby, which the hostess suggests. The suggestions were perfect for our 4-day stay! Especially because local was not tourist food. The terrace is clean and well-maintained, but the apartment is located on a main road and is therefore very noisy. But that's to be expected when you go on vacation in a big city. The apartment itself is well cut, equipped with 2 air conditioners and a good, though quite small, bathroom.

It was an absolute pleasure to stay here, check in and check out were extremely simple and flexible. I only stayed for a night but it was very walkable to find great food!! Was nice to get a workout in too !!

Beautiful appartment for a great price! We loved the rooftop terrace

Fotini's place is wonderful, perfect and cosy place as if we lived in our own flat. This place is located in walkable distance to major areas. Wee enjoyed a lot!

We had an amazing time at Alessandra’s place. It is gorgeous and even better than what the pictures convey. There was so much space and beautifully decorated. The outdoor patio was perfect for morning coffee. The kitchen had everything you could possibly think of. Rooms and beds very comfortable and spacious. It is in a perfect location to walk to everything in Athens. Would highly recommend staying here. We are so glad we didn’t stay at a hotel. We would never have had such a unique experience. The nearby cafes and restaurants steps away made the stay nice as well. The Rose bakery around the corner was incredible. Everything made fresh by the owner daily. There is a fruit market around the border and a convenience store right across the street. The check-in process was very easy to get in. Absolutely perfect stay!!

I stayed at Athena with my partner and wow it was so cute!! The perfect place to stay! The host was beyond helpful and helped us check in and was there to show us around the accommodation and check if there was anything missing that we may need. He gave some nice recommendations for local places as we hadn’t visited before. The place was spotless and clean and overall just a beautiful design inside! I loved the fact there was even a mini gym downstairs! The only downside to this great place was the fact there was a school opposite so there were multiple bells that rang throughout the day and the kids could be quite noisy. If you plan to be out exploring during the day this would not be an issue We throughly enjoyed this place and our stay and would definitely recommend : )

The accommodation was wonderful, the check-in process was very smooth, the location may be far from the center but there is a lot to explore in the neighborhood, squares full of bars and restaurants, markets and bakeries nearby, we did everything on foot, the house is beautiful, comfortable and very cozy, she was a great host with useful information about the region, flexible check-out and she responded quickly to my messages as well as being very polite.

Anna is a wonderful host and the flat is just fabulous --- incredibly well equipped. Anna also left fruit, coffee, home made jam, biscuits, wine! The flat is spacious and stylish and very clean with two lovely balconies. I love this neighbourhood too, easy to reach the metro (on the line that takes you to airport/ piraeus) and right next to Lycabettus Hill, which has the most beautiful views of the city. A really perfect spot!

Very cool and very nice place

I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for your wonderful hospitality. My stay at your place was more than just accommodation — it was a warm and special experience. The house was very clean and comfortable, but what truly stood out to me was the traditional charm and heritage feel of the space. It gave the place a unique and authentic character that made the stay even more meaningful. It’s clear that you put a lot of care into every detail to make your guests feel at home — and you truly succeeded. Thank you again for everything. I’d be more than happy to return in the future or recommend your place to friends and family. Warm regards, Muath Alrashed معاذ الراشد

Everything went smoothly during my stay , no disturbance , the place was clean and looked exactly like the photos. The hosts are great people and very responsive. Overall a great place to stay.

The home was very beautiful and clean just like in the photos. Its location is very convenient as it is located in a quiet area, very close to the electric. Mr. Dimitris was very kind and helpful throughout our stay, explained the amenities of the house in detail. I highly recommend him!

What can I say the apartment was lovely and George our host was amazing! Our first night we were sent dinner and some Beers! A lovely welcome. Given the time of year, George kindly dressed the apartment for the Christmas festivities, which was well received by the whole family. In terms of accessibility you can’t beat it. Five minutes to the metro station which is a super efficient way to travel around Athens. We would recommend staying here to anyone you won’t be disappointed! Thanks George and Happy New Year!!

The place was as in the photos without any unpleasant surprises. Also, the communication with Mrs. Gianna was excellent, making our stay pleasant!

I would have preferred to stay there longer! This stay and especially this Airbnb paid off every second! The hospitality of the people on site but also the entrepreneurial opportunities were more than special. I recommend renting a scooter or car and exploring the island! The capital Athens was also very easy and inexpensive to reach. A ferry ride on which you can simply enjoy the surroundings and a ride through the streets of Athens by bus and you are, for example, at the Acrapolis, Monastiraki. Would go back there next time and explore even more. Thanks for everything!!

The loft was just as advertised. The amenities provided are great. It is spacious and very comfortable with everything you need. The hosts were super helpful and quick to respond to any question.

Amazing accommodation if you're looking for a place to stay especially with pets. Clean and very quiet place. The back yard is directly connected to a park. Groceries, bakery and coffee shop within a 3 minute walk. Highly recommended.

Very quiet room, would stay here again

Our chpice for a pre early morning Athens airport flight. Host was quick to respond and arrange pick up and very early morning drop off at the airport. The apartment is large. Water and refreshments left for us. It was 38 degrees in Athens but the air conditioning was very effective. Its a very secure building. We enjoyed a drink on the small but comfortable balcony before eating out locally. Delivery services are readily available. Above all Maria is an very attentive and friendly person who is always happy to help but also leaves you to relax. We are always made to feel welcome here. Once again , we were very happy to stay here.
