About the author

Galinos Giaglis

Co-owner and host of the two Kolonaki apartments, and the person who writes the guides on this site.

Galinos Giaglis lives in Kolonaki and runs the two apartments this site books, together with his partner Sissi Filippidou. The apartments are operated by RPS16 P.C., the family company behind them, and every booking made here is handled by the owners rather than by an agency.

He is also Co-Founder and CEO of Orange Click Media, a digital agency based in Athens. The guides on this site are a side of that work he does himself: he writes them, keeps them current, and answers the questions guests send back.

Why these guides are first-hand

Everything published here is written from inside the neighbourhood, not assembled from other travel sites.

  • He lives in Kolonaki and has done for more than a decade, so the walking times, the opening hours and the quiet streets in these guides are the ones he uses himself.
  • He runs the two apartments day to day: check-ins, keys, luggage, the airport question at 2am. The practical advice comes from answering it for real guests, hundreds of times.
  • He answers the reservations inbox personally, so a guide that turns out to be wrong gets corrected rather than left to age.
  • Where a fact can be checked, the guides say where it came from, and where something is a matter of taste they say that instead of dressing it up as fact.

Licences and registrations

The apartments are licensed tourist accommodation under the Greek ΣΗΜΑ ΕΟΤ regime, which is a different and stricter register from the short-term rental ΑΜΑ scheme. The numbers below are public and can be checked against the registration details shown on the apartments' own listings.

  • Operating company: RPS16 P.C. (RPS16 Ι.Κ.Ε.), registered in Greece.
  • VAT number (ΑΦΜ): EL801295252.
  • Company registry number (ΓΕΜΗ): 153756501000.
  • ΣΗΜΑ ΕΟΤ 1205203: the one-bedroom apartment, by the Lycabettus funicular.
  • ΣΗΜΑ ΕΟΤ 1253877: the two-bedroom apartment, by Evangelismos metro.

Provenance: the two ΣΗΜΑ ΕΟΤ numbers were checked on 11 June 2026 against the registration details published on the apartments' Airbnb listings, and they match the numbers shown on each apartment page of this site. The company details come from the Greek business registry entry for the operating company.
