Where to Store Your Luggage in Athens Before Check-in or After Checkout

Arriving in Athens before check-in or leaving after checkout? Discover practical luggage storage options and leave your bags at the Stay Feel Greece Traveller Hub.

That awkward gap between checkout and departure

Athens doesn't always run to your travel timetable. You might arrive hours before your accommodation is ready, or check out in the morning with a flight, ferry or train much later in the day. Carrying your luggage around Athens shouldn't have to be part of the plan.

Depending on how long you need, you can leave your bags with your accommodation, use a luggage-storage service, or arrange storage for several days while travelling elsewhere in Greece. The right option depends on your timing, luggage and onward journey.

At the Stay Feel Greece Traveller Hub, DROP is designed for short stays with your luggage, while STORE is for travellers who need to leave their bags for longer.

Your luggage storage options in Athens

What works best depends on how long you need to leave your bags, where you're staying and what you're doing next.

Ask your accommodation

Use a luggage storage service

Store luggage for longer

If you're staying at a hotel or serviced accommodation, ask whether they can hold your bags before check-in or after checkout. For a short gap, this may be the simplest option..

Dedicated luggage storage can be useful when your accommodation can't keep your bags, when you're staying in a short-let apartment, or when you want to leave your luggage and continue exploring Athens.

If you're leaving Athens for a few days — perhaps travelling elsewhere in Greece before returning — longer storage can make more sense than carrying everything with you.
