Athens
Athens is a city of contrasts—ancient ruins side by side with modern art galleries, rooftop bars, and buzzing food markets. If you rent a car through Sync, you gain access to more than just the classic landmarks. You can begin your day with breakfast in Koukaki, walk through Philopappos Hill for city views, then drive out to Cape Sounio in the afternoon to catch the sunset by the Temple of Poseidon. Having a car gives you the space and pace to experience Athens your way.
When it comes to where to stay, the historic center (Plaka, Monastiraki, Thissio) is perfect for those who want to walk everywhere. But neighborhoods like Pangrati or Mets offer an authentic Athenian vibe and a quieter atmosphere. If you’re staying further out—in places like Kifisia, Glyfada, or even Vouliagmeni—having a Sync car makes getting around easy and efficient, allowing you to combine urban culture with seaside relaxation.
One of the biggest challenges in Athens, especially in summer, is the heat and the crowding. With a rental car, you can start your day early, visit museums or archaeological sites, and then drive out to beaches like Kavouri or Schinias to cool off and recharge. You’re no longer bound by public transport timetables or long walking distances—your day flows around your needs.
If you have a few days to spare, short day trips from Athens can add huge value to your vacation. Delphi, Arachova, Loutraki, or Lake Vouliagmeni are all within driving distance. With a Sync vehicle, you can make these getaways part of your itinerary without stress. You’ll get to experience both the energy of the capital and the beauty of its surrounding areas.

What is Sync's cancellation policy?

If you cancel after the free cancellation period expires, you will be charged a part of the original booking cost. Read our help pages for details.
Can the vehicle be delivered to my door?
Yes, the Sync Hosts typically offer delivery to travel destinations such as airports, train stations and hotels, or even to your hotel or home. Cars are available through Sync at convenient places near hundreds of locations in the city. Skip the lines at the rental desk and pick up your car at your hotel, residence or a nearby location to save time and hassle on your weekend or family vacation. Some Providers offer free delivery, while others charge their own delivery fee.
Can I get discounts when renting?
Many Hosts on Sync offer discounted rates for weekly and monthly bookings, as well as "early bird" discounts for trips booked a week or more in advance. Secure the best deals and lowest prices, from cars to SUVs, by making longer bookings at least a week in advance.
Occasionally, Sync may also send you promotional codes, discounts, and offers!
Can others drive the vehicle I booked?
Yes, other drivers can drive the car you book through Sync, as long as they have been approved for driving. The primary driver (the person who made the booking) can add additional drivers without any fees or extra costs. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers - Sync Hosts cannot do this for you. We recommend requesting additional drivers before your trip begins.
