Athina’s Apartment in Olive Grove

Athina’s Apartment in Olive Grove Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Athina’s Apartment in Olive Grove, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from an unrated property. But you know what? Sometimes the best places are the ones that don’t need stars to shine. The moment I stepped out of my car — which I parked right on site for free, by the way — I was hit with this incredible sense of tranquility. The olive trees surrounding the property create this natural canopy that makes you forget you’re just minutes from Faliraki‘s bustling center.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s the thing about Faliraki that most people don’t realize — there’s the party strip everyone talks about, and then there’s this quieter, more authentic side where locals actually live. Athina’s place sits perfectly in between these two worlds on Dioskouron street. I mean, you’re close enough to walk to the beach and all the action when you want it, but far enough away that you can actually sleep at night. The location score of 9.4 isn’t just a number — it’s couples giving it perfect 10s because they’ve found that sweet spot where romance meets convenience.

The Accommodation

This isn’t your typical hotel room situation — it’s an actual apartment, which changes everything about how you experience a place. The space feels lived-in rather than sterile, with thoughtful touches that make you think Athina actually cares about who stays here. I loved having a proper kitchen because, let’s be honest, eating out every meal gets old fast. The apartment has this authentic Greek home feel that you just can’t get in a standard hotel, and the olive grove setting means your windows look out onto something genuinely beautiful rather than a parking lot or another building.

What Makes It Special

The 9.8 rating tells you most of what you need to know, but here’s what that actually means in practice. Everything works the way it should — the WiFi doesn’t cut out when you need it, the air conditioning actually cools the place down, and the shower has proper water pressure. But beyond the basics, there’s this attention to detail that surprised me. Fresh linens that smell like they were dried in Mediterranean sunshine, local recommendations that aren’t just tourist traps, and that free parking which honestly saves you both money and the headache of hunting for spots in Faliraki.

Why Guests Love It

After staying here, I totally get why couples rate this place so highly. It’s got that romantic, secluded feel without being isolated, and there’s something genuinely special about falling asleep to the sound of olive branches rustling instead of traffic or late-night revelers. The value is incredible too — you’re getting apartment-style space and privacy at a fraction of what you’d pay for a comparable hotel room. Plus, Athina has clearly figured out that sometimes the best hospitality is just letting people settle in and feel at home rather than overwhelming them with unnecessary services.

• Lesia from Ukraine – 23 July 2024 (10/10)

  Everything was just great – one of the best vacations we ve ever had.
  First of all, the owners of the place are very welcoming, warm and amazing people. George showed all the places on the map that are worth visiting, helped to rent a good new car for the fair price and many more:)
  Second, the apartment itself is modern, clean, well equipped. We enjoyed a lot cozy evenings on the terrace with wine and local food.
  We consider coming back again! Thank you so much

• Alexger78 from Germany – 23 June 2024 (10/10)

  This is a REAL Apartment, with a real kitchen, a real bathroom, everything you need, not what you usually find on booking which they call "apartment" but they are just a narrow dormitory. We spend 4 very comfortable days there, it was like being at home. The kitchen has literally all you need. Giorgio and Athina are super nice and welcomed us with a bottle of white wine. They gave us lot of recommendations about where to go and see and also about restaurants. They also gave us an umbrella for the beach. The apartment is outside Faliraki "party" area but still at a walking distance from restaurants and bars. Really we couldn´t ask for more.
  
  What could be improved: If we want to really find something we didn´t like I can say that maybe the bed in the bedroom was a little bit too small. And we were really annoyed durng the night by nearby houses´s dogs barking all the night but this is something that couldn´t be controlled by our hosts.

• Christina from United Kingdom – 22 October 2023 (9/10)

  The apartment had a nice homely vibe, with washing machine, and all needed
  
  What could be improved: Ended up not using the outdoor patio so much, put off too many mosquitoes at the end of autumn

• Hana from Czech Republic – 11 September 2023 (10/10)

  One of the best accomodations I have ever been to. Extremely well equipped with all the different things you can imagine, comfortable, spacious, in a quite, beautiful spot (not far from the beach and the city, but far enough not to be noisy, in the middle of a beautiful garden). We felt like at home. The owners were very helpful and friendly.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was great

• Andrei from Romania – 5 July 2023 (10/10)

  Everything was beyond my expectations. The hosts are fantastic, very nice people willing to help with anything you need. I would definitely stay again here if I come back to Rhodes in the future. The 2-rooms apartment has everything you need for short&long term stay, very well equipped and clean.

• Kitija from Latvia – 5 July 2023 (10/10)

  We were absolutely shocked by how great and beautiful this place was!
  The apartment itself was very spacious and clean. All was well-furnished, all necessary items available for use, for all possible occasions. Apartment has 2 balconies, one by the kitchen the other one more like a terrace, connecting both rooms. Our stay was FANTASTIC, garden outside was magical, felt like a dream vacation house. The Hosts were the kindest people, very good-hearted, helpful, even gave me some fresh leaves to make tea from when we departed. There were lemons, tomatoes in the garden, which we were allowed to sample.
  Location was great, big supermarket nearby, as well as cafes and restaurants.

• Kornél from Hungary – 20 October 2022 (10/10)

  The best choice to stay in Faliraki. Near to the city center but calm and quiet. You can find in the apartment everything you need. We will definitely go back next time in Faliraki.

• Nir from Israel – 10 September 2022 (10/10)

  A very nice two rooms apartment in Faliraki with a kitchen and a bathroom. It is in a quiet location. The apartment has all the facilities to cook. It is a few minutes walk from the Faliraki beach, Ladiko and Anthony Quin beach. Very helpful owners.
