During our travel to Lesvos we had a 9-hour interval between flights at Athens airport. Instead of suffering a too long stay at the busy airport of Athens, we chose to spend these hours at the lovely St. Thomas B&B. Janet, the charming owner, drove us from the airport to her B&B, and gave us a nice 2-room suite (we are a family of 4 adults). We enjoyed the wonderful swimming pool and the beautiful garden. Then we took a shower and got some sleep. Before the next flight, Janet drove us back to the airport. St. Thomas B&B is highly recommended!

My husband and I stayed at St Thomas Bed and Breakfast, Athens for one night before we flew back home after four and half weeks Greek Island hopping. We chose St Thomas as it was very close to Athens airport and as we were arriving late in the afternoon and leaving around lunch the next day, we did not want to stay in the centre of Athens. Janet the owner met us at the airport and drove us to her accommodation which is like a little English garden oasis set back off the road. There are 3 rooms to cater for one, two or three people and even a family. Our ample breakfast was taken out in the garden on the patio or you could have it under the shady trees if you wish. Also, there is a lovely swimming pool to cool you down in with sundeck lounges and seating if you just wanted to relax. The garden is a beautiful place to while away the time. We chose the Wisteria room and had a king size bed, TV, fridge, chairs and coffee table, divan, bathroom with toiletries and plenty of space to move around. Wi fi connection is available in the room also. There is a taverna next door but as it was a holiday, it was closed so Janet offered to drive us to the village taverna and pick us up when we had finished. Janet was on hand to answer our questions and if you needed a lift to the station, she would take you. Nothing was too much trouble. Instead of a taxi to the airport, Janet offered to take us there for a nominal fee. We highly recommend St Thomas Bed and Breakfast as the place to stay if you only have a short stopover in Athens.

We spent our last night in Greece before the flight home on St. Thomas B&B. This B&B was just what we needed – in a quiet location, very clean and comfortable and close to the airport (Janet took us to the airport on the morning just after the breakfast by the pool).
For those of you who need to spend a night before the flight in Athens I think that this B&B is a perfect solution. It is not as expensive as holiday inn or some other hotels close by and it provides everything you need. I don't think it's worth paying extra 100 euro or more just to get a big fancy lobby :)
I think its also a clever choice for those of you who travel with car and don't want to get into the horrible traffic of Athen's center (Get a good life insurance if you are intending to drive there, they drive as if there are no rules whatsoever.

Janet met my husband, teenage son and myself at the airport as promised and whisked us back to her lovely homey home with a shady garden to relax in and a great pool. We just wandered along to the next door taverna for a good evening meal- and it all felt SO easy and relaxed after all the hassle of getting away and travelling. Just the perfect entry into a holiday! The next morning we played with the kitten by the pool, swam again, had a delicious breakfast and then Janet dropped us off at the airport bus-stop where we could travel on to Piraeus.
I couldn't recommend this more: Janet and her husband are lovely (although you can just sit quietly in the garden if you want some space), the bedrooms are comfortable and well-equipped and we all just fell for it. The perfect place for anyone travelling with either teenagers or younger children (and pretty wonderful for grown-ups too!)
