Starapartment Athens-Varkiza Top 2

When I accidentally locked myself out of the apartment at 3am, the lady who looks after the unit for the overseas owners came the following morning when I called her, to open the apartment. I was lucky, however, that I had a relative staying in a nearby hotel who was able to accommodate me for the night.

When I arrived at the apartment I had difficulty accessing it, as I had forgotten about the access code for the key box and when I rang for assistance the voice message was entirely in German, which I was able to make out indicating that normal business would resume on Monday morning, that was Saturday afternoon, as I recall. It did eventually dawn on me that I had received the access code in an earlier email which allowed me to access the apartment but why provide a number to call which only answered in German and didn't function on weekends. In the apartment there were no welcome items, not as much as a tea bag, which I thought was quite mean. Other instructions were very sparse also, for example there were no instructions on how to use the air conditioning or anything else in the apartment either. Finally, parking, admittedly in August, was very tricky to find close to the apartment.

Very pleasant apartment with very good bed, a small but well equipped bathroom and a nice kitchen.

Too much late night music, bell ringing and noise from the church across the street - until 2 am on orthodox Easter saturday - Easter sunday. From the apartment’s balcony there is a view on the church and square in front of the building, but not on the sea. The sea view is from an extra balcony on the landing.
