Athens Baggage Services 
Option 1: Hotel Luggage Pickup & Delivery to Airport
We created this service specifically for travelers with late flights. Therefore, you can explore the city freely without returning to your accommodation for your bags.
- At Your Accommodation: An official In Town Check In agent meets you directly at your hotel lobby or Airbnb doorstep at check-out time. Next, our agent tags your bags with official ITCI tags. Then, we load your luggage directly into our secure vehicle and stored at our Terminal in Piraeus.
- During the Day: As a result, you can walk around the Acropolis, visit museums, or enjoy a long lunch in Plaka completely hands-free.
- At the Airport: Later, our official agent meets you directly at the Athens International Airport (ATH) at the departures level area, at an agreed time, to hand over your luggage so you can go straight to the check in and your flight.
- Fully Insured Protection: Fortunately, every booking includes comprehensive insurance coverage directly in the price. We never charge hidden fees, giving you complete peace of mind while exploring the city.

Why Choose In Town Check In?
- All-Inclusive Insurance: First, we automatically include standard baggage insurance in our price for every single item. As a result, you will never pay extra upsells or surprise charges at checkout.
- No Backtracking: Stationary lockers force you to waste 1 to 2 hours traveling back to collect your bags before heading to the airport. In contrast, our direct Athens luggage storage & airport drop-off service collects luggage right at your door and delivers it straight to ATH Airport.
- Official ITCI Personnel: Additionally, we never outsource your luggage to random drivers. Our trained, In Town Check In staff handles your belongings exclusively.
- No Local Shop Keepers: Furthermore, we never store your luggage in public cafes, souvenir shops, or unsecured basement corners. Instead, our team secures your bags in our locked official terminal facility.
- Physical Port & Airport Presence: Likewise, our official passenger terminal at Piraeus Port (Gate E3) supports our direct airport delivery operations.
Alternative Luggage Storage Options in Athens
Option 2: Stationary Luggage Lockers (Syntagma & Monastiraki)
Automated self-service lockers operate around high-traffic tourist hubs like Syntagma Square and Monastiraki.
- How it works: First, you haul your suitcases from your accommodation to the locker shop. Next, you pay a daily fee based on box size and store your bags inside.
- Logistics to note: However, locker availability depends heavily on open box sizes. Most importantly, you must travel back to Syntagma or Monastiraki later in the day. You must retrieve your bags before heading out to the airport.
Option 3: Local Shop Storage Networks (Cafes & Kiosks)
App-based networks contract local souvenir shops or mini-marts to hold bags behind their counters.
- How it works: First, you book space through a mobile app. Then, you hand your bags over to a local shopkeeper.
- Logistics to note: On the negative side, security depends entirely on individual shop staff. Additionally, you are limited by the shop’s closing hours. Finally, you must return to the exact drop-off location to retrieve your luggage.
Quick Summary FAQ
Is luggage insurance included in the booking price?
Yes! We automatically include comprehensive luggage protection insurance in our service pricing. As a result, you enjoy complete security from pickup to airport delivery.
Can I leave my bags at my Airbnb rental after check-out?
Unfortunately, most Airbnb hosts and rental apartments in Athens book guests back-to-back. Therefore, they cannot store your luggage past 11:00 AM because cleaning teams need full access to the property.
Do hotels in Athens charge to hold luggage?
Many hotels hold bags for registered guests for free. However, you must still return to the hotel lobby later in the day to pick them up. Afterwards, you must make your own way to the airport. Fortunately, our service eliminates that extra trip by taking your bags directly to ATH Airport. In fact, many hotels in Athens trust us and recommend our direct airport delivery service to their guests for this exact reason.
Where does the driver meet me at Athens Airport?
Our agent meets you right at the Departures Level area, at ATH Airport, at an agreed time.
