We stayed in John and Amalia's apartment in Pagrati for almost a month and had the greatest time. They were great hosts, super communicative and helpful, always reachable whenever we had any questions. This apartment is such a great place, especially if you're considering a long-term stay in Athens. The location was perfect, close to a lot of cafes, restaurants and bars in the area, and only a 5-10 minute Uber drive away from the more touristic areas of Athens such as Kolonaki and Plaka. After a day of exploring Athens, it was good to come 'home' to a place that didn't feel touristic at all and where you felt like you were part of the neighbourhood. We stayed in the summer months (mid-July to mid-August) and we were pleasantly surprised to find that a farmers market happened right outside in the street in front of our building every Friday. Highly recommend this apartment, John and Amalia are so lovely and we miss it already. We can't wait to be back.
