These Athens Airbnbs Make for a Unique and Cozy Stay in Greece
Authentically Athens.
Athens is one of the oldest cities in the world. Here, you can walk the site where democracy was created in the 6th century BC or see the cave where Socrates drank hemlock in 399 BC. In a span of a day in Athens, you can float in the hot spa waters of Lake Vouliagmeni, have a cocktail at a beach bar, explore an outstanding museum, watch a sunset over the Aegean sea, and dine out in Kerameikos, one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world. These Airbnbs in Athens will allow you to experience the best of the famous Greek hospitality and everything that this city has to offer.
