Concierge Services

We invite you to meet our Head Concierge Kyriakos Tomai and members of his team Apostolos Papayannakis, Dimitris Melios, Panayiotis Christou, Giorgos Deligiannidis, and Yiannis Klimatzas. They stand ready to be of service seven days a week, 24 hours a day, dedicated to ensuring that each guest is able to unlock the secret treasures of Athens. Each Luxury Collection Concierge is a bilingual, certified destination expert, proudly wearing the “clef d’or”--the gilt insignia of the celebrated international concierge society--and eager to help create an unforgettable “insider” experience for our guests.

From dinner reservations at the finest city restaurants to private tours of historical landmarks, our team always perform with efficiency and aplomb. Turn to them for car rentals, limousine service, florist services, theater and sports tickets, directions, general information, and so much more.

In addition to such popular attractions as the Acropolis and the Parthenon, the Concierge recommends the following as unique places to explore in the local area:

*Temple of Zeus--About 700 meters south of Syntagma Square, its foundations were laid on the site of an earlier temple by the tyrant Pisistratus in 515 BCE. Aristotle cited the temple as an example of how tyrannies engaged the populace in great works for the state and left them no time, energy or means to rebel. Its columns later influenced the development of Corinthian style.

*Ancient Agora-- The most well known agora, Ancient Agora had private housing, until it was reorganized by Peisistratus in the 6th century BC. Although he may have lived on the agora himself, Peisistratus removed the other houses, closed wells, and made it the center of Athenian government.

*Plaka and Monastiraki--The Plaka is the most rewarding part of the city for daytime wandering. In addition to a scattering of Roman sites and various offbeat and enjoyable museums, it offers glimpses of an exotic past, refreshingly at odds with the concrete blocks of the metropolis. If you can, time your visit to coincide with the Sunday morning flea market around Monastiraki square.

*Lycabettus Hill--Approximately 300 meters high, it is a favourite spot for Athenians and visitors to take a stroll. The summit can be reached via a circular road, pathways or the funicular.
