What is the best way to rent a fully furnished apt.or house in Athens?
The best way to do this is with assistance. To do this blindly on your own would be frustrating and confusing. Nikos Mangriotis can be very helpful. If you stay in a hotel for a week when you arrive and Nikos collects ads from the Greek papers you can definitely find something better and cheaper than if you try to find a place through the English language papers which is mostly high-end stuff. He can translate for you and make sure you are getting a good deal and scrutinize your lease. Any money you spend on him you will probably save in the end.
