I was staying in Athens for a week+ in late September 2022. As part of my vacations I like to get massages, if they are available for a reasonable price. Anouar was a perfect combination of good massage and reasonable pricing.
They are located very close to the Acropolis Museum and Plaka. I visited Anouar for a 90 minute Swedish Massage. Pan was helpful in reviewing conditions and explaining things to start, but my massage therapist was Fotini. She was excellent, and firm but not too firm in her approach. She explained what she wanted me to do during the massage. Her command of English is more limited than her brother's, but she knows enough to understand basic information about what you want, or where you need attention, etc. We had no issue with communications.
The massage itself consisted of various pressure, rubbing and long strokes using oil, but I found that the additional touches she did, like stretching out my legs and lower back, were very, very helpful.
The atmosphere in the spa is fine, pleasant smelling and what I like to think of as "new age massage music" playing. The facility itself is small, but workable. It is located along a secondary road, but with the music on, you don't notice any traffic noise. I did not avail myself of the shower, as my apartment was only a 10 minute walk away, and I could wipe off the oil at the spa and then shower when I got home.
I liked the massage so much I went for a second massage, with Fotini again, before I left Athens. It was every bit as good as the first one.
There are many massage options in downtown Athens, including some with what I like to think of as "cautionary" words like "pleasure." Beware of what you might get at those places that advertise with scantily dressed massage "therapists." I think those places are best avoided.
I highly recommend you consider Anouar for your desired massage treatment(s), and believe you will find, as I did, that you will be well taken care of.
