Tips On How To Get A Cheap Athens Rental Apartment

1. A great place to find cheap apartments in Athens are expats sites such as expatriates.com and Athens News. For example, expatriates.com has a dedicated section where ads are posted with cheap apartments for rent in Athens. You can check out that section here. One other option would be to join their communities, make friends and ask around. Of course, risks abound but as long as you take all the usual precautionary measures and follow the tips they offer you should be fine. It is best to pay while there and not beforehand on the Internet.

2. You can also find ads for cheap apartments in/near Athenian universities. These ads are posted by students, usually Erasmus students, looking for flatmates. Erasmus is a European student exchange program. Of course this option is fine only if you’d like to get there first and then rent an apartment and not vice-versa. A well known meeting place for students, where one can also find plenty of ads for cheap Athens apartments is the students library located on the Ipokratous (Hippocrates) Street in the center of Athens.

3. JustLanded. You may want to scour JustLanded for deals on cheap Athens Apartments. It’s quite a useful site. Go to their Housing section, then search for Athens, Greece and then select For Rent > Apartments. You’ll then get to a list of apartments for rent in Greece. To find the cheapest of the bunch, use the left sidebar filtering box and put a cap on the price you’d like to pay and select the period then click search. You’ll now end up with a good bunch of cheap rental apartments in Athens that you can choose from.

4. Most cheap apartments in Athens are located in neighborhoods such as Kipseli, Pagrati or Abelokipi so you’d better filter your searches to these to get better results.

5. If still no luck, I highly recommend you ask on Lonely Planet Thorn Tree forums. There are many knowledgeable folks there that may help you in getting a cheap apartment in Athens.
