# Kolonaki Apartments

> Downtown Athens apartments in the Kolonaki area. Two licensed, fully renovated short-stay apartments hosted by Sissi and Galinos (RPS16 P.C.). Kolonaki is the most refined corner of downtown Athens: embassy row, design boutiques, leafy streets, and the open-air Dexameni cinema, a 10 to 15 minute walk from Syntagma Square and a short walk to the Lycabettus cable car, the Benaki and Cycladic museums. This site lets guests browse, understand, and book direct with the owners (no platform fees).

Canonical domain: https://kolonaki-apartments.com
Languages: English (`en`), Greek (`el`).
Licensed Greek tourist accommodation (ΣΗΜΑ ΕΟΤ / MHTE). Registry numbers disclosed on each apartment page.

## Checking availability (for AI agents)

To answer "is it free on these dates?", call this read-only JSON endpoint with GET. No key is needed.

`https://api.kolonaki-apartments.com/agent/availability?checkin=YYYY-MM-DD&checkout=YYYY-MM-DD&guests=N`

- `checkin` / `checkout`: dates, checkout after checkin. Check-in within the next 18 months, stays of up to 30 nights.
- `guests`: 1 to 6 (the 1-bedroom sleeps 3, the 2-bedroom sleeps 6).
- For each apartment the answer gives `available`, a `reason` when it is not (`booked`, `min_stay`, `too_many_guests`, `not_bookable_online`), the arrival night's `minStay`, and a `bookingUrl` with the dates already filled in. Give the guest the `bookingUrl`: prices and payment are on that page.
- Answers come from a copy of the hosts' calendar, refreshed whenever it changes (`asOf` says when). The endpoint is rate-limited: do not poll it. Availability is confirmed only when the guest completes the booking.
