Explore Greece with Your Dog

The Problem
The 'Pet-Friendly' Lie That Ruins Trips
You search 'pet-friendly hotels Athens'. You filter. You find one that looks perfect. You book. Then the questions start flooding in — what's the weight limit? Is there a fee they didn't mention? Can your dog come to the restaurant? What if you need to leave them in the room?
Most booking platforms give you a single checkbox. No weight limits. No fee disclosure. No clarity on which areas your dog can actually access. You're left guessing — and guessing wrong can ruin a trip.
"That 'pets allowed' filter? It tells you almost nothing."
Our 360° Solution
Deep-dive research. Total transparency.
Doggoxenia's Athens-based team personally contacts every hotel, asks the questions most travellers only think of after arrival, and publishes the complete verified policy — so you can book with total confidence.

Framework
How we verify
Our 5-Point Verification Framework
Every hotel in our directory is audited across five critical dimensions. This is what we check — and document — for every single listing.
Weight & Breed Limits
Exact kilograms and pounds, not vague 'small pets only' language. We document every hotel's precise limit and any breed restrictions.
Exact Fees & Costs
Full cost breakdown before you book. Every pet fee, cleaning surcharge, and deposit — disclosed upfront with no hidden surprises.
Allowed Areas
Lobbies, patios, restaurants, pools — we document exactly where your dog is and isn't welcome, room by room and area by area.
In-Room Rules
Can you leave your dog unattended? For how long? We ask the questions most travellers only think of after they've already checked in.
Pet Amenities
Dog beds, water bowls, welcome treats, nearby parks — we document every amenity the hotel provides so you know exactly what to pack.
How we stay current
Seasonal Auditing & Live Timestamps
We don't rely on outdated data. Our team conducts thorough manual audits at the start of every travel season to capture policy updates. For maximum transparency, every hotel profile features a live timestamp showing the exact month and year it was last verified, ensuring zero guesswork for your trip.

Our story
Why We Built Doggoxenia
Doggoxenia was born out of a frustrating personal experience — arriving at a 'pet-friendly' hotel with our dog, only to discover the lobby was off-limits, the fee hadn't been disclosed, and the weight limit was half what we'd assumed.
We're a small Athens-based team of dog owners and travel researchers who believe that travelling with your dog should be joyful, not stressful. So we built the resource we wished had existed.
Every hotel in our directory has been personally contacted by our team. We ask the awkward questions, document every policy detail, and re-verify monthly. Because your dog deserves a great trip too.
Our mission
To make dog-friendly travel to Greece completely stress-free — for every dog, every size, every breed.
