Hi, I am now located in the UK but have a fully furnished flat in Athens which I need to empty quickly ready for it to be sold. Ideally I want to get rid of the contents, including lots of books in English, in one load.
I will be in Athens for only a few days at the end of September.
Can anyone suggest how I might achieve this?

I guess you can post here in the classifieds section, you can post in Craigslist Greece, you can also post at xariseto.gr, the last is a site where people post things they want to give away.(need to register)

Hope smt helps

Thanks for those suggestions, Koukla. I'll try them out but for me, time is of the essence.

Hi Alex, you could also post an ad in Athens Classifieds -> Buy and sell section.
Hope this helps

Hi Alex

What kind of stuff beside the books are in the apartment.

As you know furnished places are more expensive to rent than empty ones.

Maybe a potential buyer is buy to let and can see an advantage in having stuff there.

Good thinking, Brian, but I don't think it would work in this case. Thanks for the thought though.
