Activities for families

With or without kids, either way, you will find so many things to do in Athens.

But, since here at Athenian Residences we have large apartments 55-75sqm (which they can fit up to 3-6persons) it’s common for us to host large families with kids. That’s why we also have babysitters for all ages whom they will bring educational games for your children depend on their age. We also have cribs, baby seats for feeding, baby carpets and boosters/baby seats inside the shuttle cars that bringing you from the airport.

But, for you that you want to spend quality time with your kids, I will list you now few things to do inside and outside Athens with them, in order to plan your trip more efficiently:
