Massage at home in Athens: what to expect

The best part of a massage is the hour after it. At a spa, that hour is spent getting dressed and driving home. At home, it is spent exactly where you are.

The spa, brought home

A private massage at home in Athens is simple once you have had one, and slightly mysterious before. Here is exactly how it works, from the moment the therapist arrives to the moment you realise you do not have to drive anywhere.

How the setup works

Your therapist arrives with a professional massage table, linens and oils. You choose the room: a living room, a bedroom, a terrace in summer. Setup takes a few minutes, and the space is left exactly as it was.

The massages

  • Relaxing: long, slow strokes. The classic after a long week.
  • Deep tissue: firm pressure for tension, desk posture and stress.
  • Sports and recovery: focused work on specific muscles, around your training.
  • Couples: two therapists, side by side, at the same time.
Nothing to do afterwards but stay where you are.

How to prepare

A quiet room, a shower beforehand if you like, and a few minutes to switch off your phone. Tell your therapist about any injury, pregnancy or medical condition before the session begins, so the massage can be adapted.

Where in Athens

From the northern suburbs to the city centre and the Riviera, including hotel suites. Most clients book evenings or weekends, when the house is quiet. If you are spending the summer on the islands, the same service runs as private massage in Mykonos.

Before a wedding or an event

A massage the day before a wedding is the calmest gift a bride can give herself, and the groom too. Pair it with bridal hair and makeup in Athens, or with a hairstylist at home before an evening out.

THE SHORT VERSION

A professional table, linens and oils arrive at your door. You choose the room and the massage; afterwards, you stay exactly where you are.
