Six tips to know before participating in Athens’ scary escape rooms:
- You can make an online reservation on all the Escape Rooms in the following list.
- The price depends on the duration of the game and the number of players participating. Indicatively, it usually ranges between 10 and 30 euros per person. However, all the games on the list are value for money.
- Most games can accommodate teams of 2 to 5 people. Nevertheless, some support 1 person and some others up to 7. If you have a special request, it is better to contact the game masters and ask for their help. The best contact option, if available, is the phone.
- All games are available in English. However, the same does not apply to all websites, precisely those of Escape Rooms #9, #7, and #5. So, once again, if you are not sure about something, it’s better to contact the game masters directly.
- Escape rooms #8, #5, and #1 are operating even after 00:00 at night! If your schedule is busy, you might consider this option as well.
- Most games include a live performance and recommend comfortable clothing.

Make Your Trip Easier
Airport Transfer
If you want to get to and from Athens Airport with peace of mind, I recommend pre-booking your taxi with Welcome Pickups. Their flat rate is a few euros more expensive than random taxis, but it is totally worth it. They use local, English-speaking drivers, who will wait for you even if your flight is delayed and introduce you to the city during your ride.
Accommodation
I always book my accommodation with a reliable service like Booking.com. They offer a price guarantee and 24/7 support in case of any problems with your hotel. Always make sure you read reviews from other guests before booking.
Activities
From day trips to Greek islands to Acropolis Guided Tours, GetYourGuide will help you find some unique ideas for your trip.
Car Rental
If you decide to rent a car while in Athens, check Rentalcars. It compares the most reliable companies and returns the best prices with free cancellation.
Free Athens Tours
If you have limited time or want a local guide to introduce you to the city, check GuruWalk. They offer free tours, and at the end, you give them the amount you think is fair.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance will protect you if you get sick or injured while abroad, or if you lose your luggage or your flight is delayed. On my trips, I use SafetyWing as it’s affordable and has a simple claims process.
