Are the cramped spaces of a room too small for you? Do you prefer accommodation with a separate entrance for more privacy? Forget hotels, the ideal accommodation for your holiday in Greece is a flat or holiday home.
Finding interesting offers is not difficult, especially if you book well in advance: rental flats and holiday homes are very common in Greece and are an excellent solution for a stay with comfort and freedom. The most popular are located on the seafront or directly on the beach and have a swimming pool; studios, furnished in typical Greek style, combine price, charm and practicality.
To help you find the right accommodation for your dream holiday, we have selected the 10 best flats and holiday homes in Greece. They are located in the most beautiful locations on the Greek islands and mainland Greece and have been chosen from the top-rated hotel booking sites. They stand out for excellent reviews and high scores in all key selection factors: location, value for money and charm.
They all offer modern services and amenities, including reception, air conditioning, wi-fi. Almost all of them offer breakfast service (sometimes included in the rate, sometimes on request for a fee); flats within a hotel, so-called aparthotels, sometimes also offer convenient all-inclusive rates with meals and drinks.
Beware, however: the places where these fairytale accommodations are located are so beautiful that there is a serious risk of falling hopelessly in love with them. And who knows, maybe next year instead of browsing through the summer rental offers you will find yourself reading the ads for houses for sale in Greece!
