I am looking to rent an affordable vacation apartment in Athens this summer. Any suggestions?
- Max Pesling > Buzzy Gordon May 28, 2022 at 10:11am
  
  Hi Buzzy - you know, I've heard that Omonia - anchored of course by the square of the same name - is the most affordable central neighborhood for short-term rentals, more than a third cheaper than the "usual suspects" like touristy Plaka, so you might want to start by concentrating your search there.
- Buzzy Gordon > Max Pesling May 28, 2022 at 11:54am
  
  Hi Max, Thanks for your reply, Of course I know Omonia Square, and it is one of the neighborhoods I look at when searching. Of course, I am open to any affordable neighborhood -- Pangarati, Koukaki, etc. -- the problem is finding one using the usual sites. I was hoping this group might lead me to someone with insider information about a specific place.

Greece is my second homeland. Nowadays it is very hard to live here, mainly because of the economic crisis that constantly gaining momentum bringing this beautiful country to ruin. Though I still can’t imagine living in another country. I grew roots here and as long as I can, I will live here. But Why I love Greece?
