What's the difference between a Athens guest house and a B&B?

A guest house in Athens is typically a larger establishment with more rooms, offering a more hotel-like experience, and may provide additional amenities including luxury bedding.

A B&B is often more personal, and breakfast is typically included as part of the stay, but other services might be more limited compared to a guest house.
