Chalandri is a leafy northern suburb of Athens, about 12 km from the city center and well connected by metro. With many embassies, offices and residential areas nearby, it's a common base for business travelers, expats and longer stays. We picked four places with different strengths, so you can find one that fits how you like to train.
Staying for a few days? Some gyms in Chalandri offer discounted day passes through Fitual, so you can train without signing up for a membership.
Here's who we'd choose depending on how you like to train.

The club has been a local favorite for 30 years and keeps long opening hours, from early morning until late at night on weekdays, with sessions on weekends too. Members use the Axion app to enter the gym and book Pilates classes, which makes it easy to fit a workout around meetings or sightseeing.
