Evaeri Villa Athens: Your Dream Greek Escape Awaits!
Evaeri Villa Athens: Your Dream Greek Escape Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we are diving headfirst into the gloriously messy, sun-drenched world of Evaeri Villa Athens: Your Dream Greek Escape Awaits! And trust me, after spending a "week" (more like a whirlwind of feta cheese, ouzo, and questionable tan lines) there, I'm here to tell you the REAL story, not some polished brochure.
First, the Basic Stuff (the "Boring" Bits… Kinda):
Let's get the practicalities out of the way. Accessibility? They mention facilities for disabled guests. That sounds like a maybe-ish. Check their website directly for a more concrete answer – I'm not a travel agent, I'm a reviewer who spent a lot of time staring at the sunset. Internet? Yep, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! - bless their internet hearts. Also, a LAN connection – for you old school types. More on that later, because I had a little… situation involving a rogue laptop and a particularly persuasive cocktail.
The Shiny Stuff (The Good Stuff, Mostly):
- Things to do (and Ways to Relax): Okay, this is where Evaeri Villa starts to sing. Swimming pool [outdoor]? Yes, and it’s stunning. Pool with a view? Absolutely. Picture this: azure water, the sun beating down, you, a cocktail in hand… bliss. There's a fitness center, a gym/fitness area if you're into that sort of thing (I mostly went for the "walking to the bar" workout, but hey, to each their own). And the spa? Oh, the spa. Massage, sauna, steamroom… I’m not gonna lie, I spent a solid afternoon melting into a cloud of lavender-scented relaxation. My advice? Book yourself a body scrub and a body wrap. You’ll thank me later.
- Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: The food… oh, the food. Restaurants galore! A la carte, buffet, Asian cuisine, international cuisine… I sampled it all (for research purposes, obviously). Their Asian breakfast was surprisingly good, a nice change from the usual. The soups were perfect for a chilly night. Their poolside bar is a must. I did a happy hour a solid every day. And honestly, their desserts in the restaurant… just chef’s kiss. But a crucial note: they DO offer vegetarian restaurant. It's a real win! Breakfast [buffet]? A solid yes. Breakfast in room? You betcha. Room service [24-hour]? Bless their heart!
Cleanliness and Safety.
- Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer: They’re all taking it seriously
- Room sanitization opt-out available: Not a huge fan of spraying up the whole room
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Yep, they seem up to speed on the protocols
The "Meh" Stuff
- For the kids: Family/child friendly is good. Babysitting service - good to know. Beyond that, I wouldn’t know, I was there on solo getaway.
Services and Conveniences.
- Concierge? Excellent.
- Daily housekeeping? Wonderful.
- Laundry service? Essential.
- Airport transfer? Made getting to the villa a breeze.
- Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site] Great - just keep your GPS charged!
The Rooms (Where the Magic Happens… And Sometimes, Where You Lose Your Keys):
Okay, the rooms. They’re pretty swish. Air conditioning in every room? Thank the gods of cooling breezes! Air conditioning in public area? Also a must. Free Wi-Fi? Yes, and thank goodness. It meant I could video call my mom at 3 AM to tell her I'd met a very interesting Greek musician and needed to learn some bouzouki… (Don't worry, Mom, I’m not suddenly joining a band). I loved the blackout curtains – so I slept in like a baby. The shower was a dream. Separate shower/bathtub? Luxury. The extra-long bed was a blessing. The In-room safe box was helpful, but I was so out of it, I was sure I had lost my passport multiple times. The coffee/tea maker was a life-saver. And the complimentary tea! The hair dryer was a must.
My favorite Room Detail: Window that opens. Let me tell you, nothing beats flinging open the curtains in the morning and smelling the salty sea air wafting in. That window was the portal to my Greek dream.
Now, the REALLY Important Stuff (My Hot Takes and Anecdotes):
The Location: "I Could Get Lost Here (and I Practically Did!)"
Evaeri Villa is in a prime spot. Close enough to the action if you want it, far enough away to feel like you're in your own little paradise. The views! The goddamn views! (I have a picture of the sunset that I still use as my screensaver). I got lost wandering the side streets near the hotel at least twice, but honestly? BEST. ACCIDENT. EVER. You stumble upon little tavernas, hidden squares, and the most incredible gelato. Just wander.
The Service: "They Actually Seemed to Like Their Jobs!"
The staff at Evaeri Villa are genuinely lovely. Always a smile, always helpful, and they seemed to genuinely care. One time, I locked myself out on my balcony (don't ask) and they got me back in with record speed. They made me feel like family.
The Internet Situation: "My Laptop Was a Liability."
Remember I mentioned a rogue laptop and a persuasive cocktail? Yeah. That's a story. I got so comfortable with the free Wi-Fi, I decided to have a "work session" on the terrace. Let's just say the ouzo and internet access combined, and I may or may not have sent a very questionable email to my boss (sorry, Mark!). But hey, the free Wi-Fi delivered.
My One Big Love and a Note on the "Meh":
This is a great hotel. But it isn't perfect. The food at the buffet was sometimes a little… repetitive. But I had a salad on the last day, and it was PERFECT.
Accessibility
- Wheelchair accessible? I'm not 100% sure. Check the hotel's website for specifics. They may not have as many accessible features as you'd like.

Evaeri Villa - A Grecian Getaway (That Almost Wasn't!) - A Messy Itinerary
Okay, buckle up buttercups. This isn't your perfectly Instagram-filtered travel blog. This is the truth. The sweaty, slightly hungover, "did I pack enough sunscreen?" truth. This is my attempt at a Grecian getaway in the Evaeri Villa, and let me tell you, it’s already been an adventure. Expect typos, tangents, and possibly a crisis of faith in my packing abilities.
Pre-Trip Hysteria (and the Airport Debacle)
Weeks Before: Panicked about the flight. Spent a solid 12 hours researching "best packing cubes" and another 6 agonizing over the "perfect" travel outfit. Spoiler alert: it doesn't exist. Currently, my suitcase looks like a fashion bomb went off. Also, I started learning basic Greek phrases. So far, I've mastered "Yassas" (hello) and "Eimai xazos" (I am crazy). Accurate.
The Actual Travel Day: Woke up at 4 AM, convinced I'd missed my flight. Raced to the airport, sweating like a pig in a sauna. Tripped over a rogue suitcase, almost ate it on the conveyor belt, and then, the biggest disaster of all: My passport almost expired! Thank God I applied for renewal weeks ago, Talk about a heart attack!
Day 1: Evaeri Arrival & Athenian Frenzy
- Time: Afternoon (ish, who's counting?)
- Activity: Finally, Evaeri Villa! The pictures online? Underestimated, I tell you. Seriously, the view from the balcony… jaw-dropping. Seriously, after the flight, the view from the balcony was truly jaw-dropping. It took me an hour to check in and make sure I had all my things, and then, when I finally got out to see the view, it was gorgeous!
- Transportation: From the airport, a taxi (that may or may not have taken "the scenic route").
- Mood: Exhausted. Overwhelmed in the best way possible. Already contemplating a nap.
- Food: Quickest souvlaki I've ever devoured. Greasy, delicious, and the perfect antidote to airport trauma.
- Side Note: Forgot my adaptor. Currently using my phone charger in a desperate attempt to juice up. Pray for me.
- Evening Revelations: Wandered around Plaka, that charming old neighborhood. Got hopelessly lost (multiple times). Found a tiny taverna, ordered a glass of wine (because, priorities), and watched the world go by. Realized I needed to buy a map. Also, I am terrible at navigating. I thought I would be a skilled navigator, but as it turns out I am not a skilled navigator. At all.
Day 2: Ancient History & a Potential Meltdown
- Time: Morning - afternoon
- Activity: Acropolis! The Parthenon! Seriously, this place is incredible! Absolutely stunning. Like, I actually felt a shiver of awe run down my spine. But also, crowded! So many people. And HOT! The sun is intense.
- The Acropolis Debacle: Okay, so about the Acropolis. It was magnificent. Truly. But here's where things got… messy. I was so overwhelmed by the sheer history, the beauty, the sheer amount of tourists, that I almost had a full-blown meltdown. I started to feel claustrophobic. The sun was beating down. I felt like I was going to pass out. (This is why they invented water bottles and sun hats, people! I know this!) Took a deep breath, found a shady spot, and remembered why I came here: to soak it all in. Eventually, I calmed down and made it through. But the memory of that looming panic? Yeah, it's still there.
- Transportation: Metro (which, surprisingly, was a lifesaver during the heat - and surprisingly easy to understand)
- Mood: Awe mixed with a healthy dose of stress.
- Food: Gyros. Again. I make no apologies. They're amazing. Plus, I’m pretty sure they're the best source of fuel for my sightseeing adventures.
Day 3: Island Escape! (Or, The Day I Became a Spongebob Squarepants)
- Time: Full Day
- Activity: Day trip to a nearby island (Hydra! Apparently, no cars allowed. Pure bliss, right? HA!).
- Transportation: Ferry (yay sea sickness!)
- Mood: Excited, but also… slightly terrified of the open water.
- Food: Fresh seafood! Absolutely divine. A tiny taverna on the water, the smell of the sea, the taste of the grilled octopus… pure heaven.
- Quirky Observation: Hydra! The donkeys! They're everywhere! And, honestly, they made me giggle every time. Seriously, these donkeys are probably the most chilled-out creatures on the planet. Saw a cat on a donkey!
- The Great Sunburn of 2024: Remember how I said I should probably have bought sunscreen? Well, I didn't. Or at least, I didn't put enough on. I’m talking lobster-level sunburn. My back is screaming. I look like a poorly cooked shrimp. Lesson learned(!!). Seriously, this is a full-blown disaster. Never underestimate the power of the sun. Especially in Greece. I'm now hiding in the villa, smeared with aloe vera, looking like a giant red blob. I feel like Spongebob Squarepants after he's lost his tan.
Day 4: Villa Relaxation (and a Deep Dive into Greek Cooking Fail)
- Time: Anytime
- Activity: Rest day. Attempt to recover from sunburn. Read a book on the balcony. Admire the view (through squinting eyes). Vow to never underestimate the sun again.
- Transportation: Walking (slowly) to the local market for supplies.
- Mood: Mostly, I feel like a crispy red pepper. Also, I'm feeling a lot of relief. That view makes me feel amazing.
- Food: Attempt at cooking a Greek salad and, perhaps, a disastrous attempt at moussaka. (Spoiler: it's a disaster). My moussaka looks like a crime scene. The eggplant is burnt. The béchamel sauce is clumpy. I think I’m better off leaving the food to the Greeks.
- Side Note: The neighbors are having a party. And it sounds like they are having a blast. Makes me miss my friends.
Day 5: Monastiraki Market & Souvenir Shenanigans
- Time: Morning - Afternoon
- Activity: Monastiraki Market! A sensory overload in the best way possible. So many trinkets, so many smells, so many people trying to sell you things!
- Transportation: Metro (again with the metro! Love!)
- Mood: Slightly overwhelmed, but also in the mood for some souvenir buying!
- Food: Souvlaki (again!)
- Quirky Observation: Haggling. I AM TERRIBLE AT HAGGLING. Got ripped off on a tiny, ceramic donkey. But hey, it's cute.
- Evening Adventure (or a Slight Panic Over Currency): Went to a cafe in Monastiraki, spent everything I had on souvenirs and dinner (and wine, because, again, priorities). Realized I had NO Euro cash. Panic! Looked up the nearest ATM. It was dark. I was disoriented in the dark maze of an alleyway. Ended up in a dark alleyway. Found the ATM. Success! Lesson learned: always carry cash and don't wander around alleys alone at night.
Day 6: The Parthenon, Again (and a Reckoning with my Sunburn)
- Time: Late morning - Afternoon
- Activity: Went back to the Parthenon. Because even after the near-breakdown and the crowds, I wanted another look. This time, less stressed. More patient. Maybe it was the aloe vera. Definitely, it was the perspective. It was beautiful. Also, I bought a sun hat.
- Transportation: Metro
- Mood: Calm, reflective, and mildly itchy (sunburn, you fiend!).
- Food: Another Greek Salad. A little more confidently this time.
- Quirky Observation: More cats! I think every cat in Athens is hanging around the acropolis. They are so cute, and they are all
Okay, Seriously, Is Evaeri Villa Actually *Nice* or Is It Just...Instagram-Pretty?
Alright, the million-dollar question! Let me tell you, I’ve seen enough perfectly-posed photos to make me gag. Evaeri Villa? It's genuinely lovely. And here's the thing: Instagram can't capture the *smell* of the bougainvillea cascading over the walls. It can't convey the feeling of the sun warming your skin as you sip your morning coffee on the terrace. It's more than just pretty; it's…well, it *feels* like a Greek escape.
BUT (and there's always a "but," right?), there's a slight caveat. My first impression wasn't exactly *flawless*. I arrived jet-lagged, sweating, and lugging about 40 pounds of unnecessary luggage. The door code? Nope, wouldn't work. Panic set in. I frantically called the contact number (which, by the way, was scribbled on a piece of paper I somehow managed to *lose* *while* frantically unpacking - genius, I know). Eventually, they sorted it. It turns out I was jabbing the wrong keys. So, yeah. Not *quite* the smooth arrival I'd envisioned. So yeah it's nice, but be prepared for a teensy bit of minor chaos at the beginning.
What's the Deal with the Location? Is it Convenient or am I Gonna Be Stuck in the Boonies?
The location. Okay, this is where it gets both good and, well, *slightly* less good. It's in a residential area, which is brilliant! Real life, authentic Athens. No noisy tourist traps right outside your door. You wake up hearing birds, not car horns (mostly). Plus, the local bakeries are a legitimate game-changer. Seriously. The pastries. Oh, the pastries… I'm getting distracted.
The slightly less good? It's not *right* in the heart of everything. Walking distance to, say, the Acropolis? No. You're probably looking at a quick taxi hop or a Metro adventure. The Metro is easy enough, but try navigating the Athens Metro after enjoying a nice glass of Ouzo. Let's just say… it can get interesting. I may have accidentally exited the wrong station. A few times. So, yeah, plan for some travel time folks. But the trade-off? The peace and quiet… *chef’s kiss*.
The Villa Itself: Is It Actually Comfortable or Just Stylish and Cold?
Comfort! Crucial. Evaeri Villa is *comfortable*. Think squishy sofas, big beds, and enough pillows to stage a small pillow fight (which, admittedly, I *might* have done… alone. Don't judge). It's stylish for sure, BUT it's not the kind of sterile, show-home stylish that makes you afraid to touch anything.
My one minor gripe: the air conditioning. It *worked*, thank goodness, because Athens in July is… well, you’ll understand. But it wasn't the most efficient. Sometimes, I felt like I was fighting a losing battle against the relentless heat. But hey, that’s Greece, right? Embrace the heat, embrace the sweat, and embrace the fact you’re probably the only one in Greece not used to the sun.
That Terrace - Looks Amazing! Is It Actually Usable, or Just a Photo Op?
The Terrace! That's where the magic happens. And YES, it's even better in real life than the pictures suggest. Sunlight in the morning, a light breeze in the evening... I spent so much time out there, I'm pretty sure I turned a shade of bronze I'd never seen before. I'm not even a sun person, honestly. But the terrace… it just *beckoned*.
One morning, I accidentally spilled my entire coffee all over myself… it was THAT good, I didn't even care. I found I was just happy to be sat on that terrace, surrounded by those plants, and soaking up the atmosphere. I ate breakfast there every day. Read books there. Wrote things (mostly unreadable travel reflections, let's be honest). Drank way too much wine there (oops!). It's a proper, usable, *dream* space.
Is the Kitchen Well-Equipped? Can I Actually Cook *Anything*? (Because I HATE eating out every meal!)
Kitchen! Okay, so I'm a *terrible* cook. I mean, truly awful. But even *I* managed to whip up a decent breakfast of eggs and toast in that kitchen. It's well-equipped. Pots, pans, utensils, even a coffee machine that actually worked (a minor miracle, let me tell you).
There's a local shop just down the road, packed with fresh produce. The ingredients were so delicious, I felt like a culinary genius (for about 5 minutes). The only thing I *really* struggled with? The oven. I may have set off the smoke alarm once. Twice. Okay, three times. (Sorry neighbours!) But the rest? Pretty darn good. You can definitely self-cater. And you should. It's fun! Plus the view from the kitchen window is just amazing.
What About Practical Stuff? Wi-Fi? Cleanliness? Anything to Know *Before* I Book?
Okay, the nitty-gritty. Wi-Fi? Strong, reliable, and saved my sanity (let's be honest). Cleanliness? Spotless. Seriously, the place *gleamed*. They clearly put a LOT of effort into keeping it pristine. The only thing I'd say is… ask about the local cats. Athens has a LOT of cats. I'm a huge cat person. But if you're allergic, you might want to double-check. Although, to be fair, they stayed outside, minding their own business usually. They were quite cute, actually, although I may have fed one a bit too much cheese. Oops. But really super clean.
One last thing: prepare for narrow streets. Greece is known for them, and if you're driving, it can be a bit… stressful. I'm not a driving person at all. So I opted for a taxi and Metro, which, after a bit of adjustment, worked out. But, consider the car situation. Seriously.
Overall: Would You Recommend Evaeri Villa? And Would You Go Back?
Overall? YES! Absolutely, unequivocally, YES! Despite the slightly chaotic arrival and the oven-related smoke incidents (sorry again, neighbors!), Evaeri Villa was a dream. It was the perfect base for exploring Athens. It was a haven to return to after a long day of sightseeingLow Price Hotel Blog
