With breathtaking views over the Acropolis and city skyline, this home is a real gem. Watch the sunset over the Acropolis with a glass of Greek wine on the private balcony, or head up to the shared roof terrace for the incredible 360-degree vistas of Athens – we could spend hours in either space. Housed in a recently built building, inside you'll find a stylish living space with cool greys and fresh whites. This place is ideal for friends, family or business professionals.

Located in the pretty, artistic neighbourhood of Mets, there are plenty of restaurants and bars on your doorstep. The Panathenaic Stadium, home to the first modern Olympic Games in the 19th-century and made of marble, is a ten-minute walk away or five minutes in the car.

If this view doesn’t say Athens, then we don’t know what else will. From its high and mighty perch, the city’s most iconic landmarks are all on show – from the Archaeological Museum and the Lycabettus Hill, to the mighty Acropolis. It’s a panorama as sensational by day when the sun beats down on the city's Pentelic marble, as it is by night when Athen’s lights begin to twinkle.

Stepping inside, this oh-so-swish crib keeps bringing the wow factor – starting with that private gym, Turkish steam bath, and the free-flowing living area made for socialising. Lay the table for glamorous dinner parties (the nifty pool table converts into a dining table). Then keep the night flowing with a game of pool and cocktails at the bar to soak up the vistas.

When it’s time to dive into the warren of historic streets below, blaze a trail to Monastiraki (within walking distance of the apartment) – there are shady street cafes, vibey bars and authentic Greek tavernas just waiting to uncover. Or, if you’d rather escape the crowds, keep things local with an amble around the city’s largest park,  Pedion Areos, with panoramic views of the city – it’s just a five-minute hop, skip and jump away.

God of the Sun

Get under the city's skin during your stay in this chic one-bedroom apartment in the heart of the creative, culinary and occasionally gritty neighbourhood of Keramikos.

The apartment offers the chance to experience an authentic side of Athens that many visitors will never see. Despite being close to the headline-grabbing historical centre, Keramikos is an artistic enclave lined with quirky independent boutiques and mouthwatering fusion cuisine that, much like the neighbourhood, marries the best of old and new to create something entirely unique.

However, first-time visitors to this storied city will be pleased to learn that the beautifully preserved ruins of ancient Athens are waiting to be explored after a short journey on foot or public transport.

Style and practicality go hand in hand at this apartment in upscale Kolonaki. You've got the area's designer boutiques, eclectic eateries and galleries on your doorstep, as well as the nearby funicular railway leading to the summit of Mt. Lycabettus.

You’re also a twenty-three-minute walk from Nymphs Hill, a nine-minute stroll from the Athens Heart Mall, while the iconic Acropolis is just under thirty minutes away on foot. 


Mersini

With ancient buildings, historic ruins and preserved sculptures at every turn, the Kypseli neighbourhood showcases Modernist influences from the Bauhaus and Art Deco movements following urbanisation in the 1930s. Uniquely situated amongst the green of Pedion Areos, from which you can admire from your balcony, this central home offers both tranquillity of the park and vibrancy of the neighbourhood that surrounds it.
 
Urban minimalism takes centre stage here with clean lines, calm tones and considered soft furnishings, creating a restorative base to return to after a day of exploring the independent boutiques and cafes along the stream-lined Fokionos Negri boulevard. Saturdays are best spent on the avenue, at the Demotiki Agora organic market, where you’ll find artisan bread and regional wines - perfect to stock up on for a local lunch around your mid-century dining table. 
 
Take the bus to Monastiraki square, the bus stop is just across the road, where you can spend the day exploring Hadrian’s Library, the Ancient Agora and soak up the energy of the square. For dinner, consider Hoocut for the iconic pita wrap, Souvlaki - transformed into an elevated pillow bread with moist mutton - by a team of the country’s top talents, all set up against a neoclassical backdrop that also sports a butcher shop, grocery store and bakery. Make sure you save some room for fried, honey-soaked dough balls at Lukumades - our choice is the praline-filled option - where you can grab a dozen and head home to enjoy them on your balcony and watch the historic Greek sunset fade beneath Lycabettus hill. 

Mount Acropolis

Wow, wow, wow was all we could say when we saw the incredible views of the Acropolis from both this home's living space and terrace. They are fantastic any time of day, but we particularly love the vistas at sunset and then as dark approaches when Greece's most famous monument is all lit up. It’s a divine spot for a glass of wine.

If the weather turns chilly, head inside and gather around the fire or whip up a Greek meze in the modern kitchen. We could tell when we visited that this home has undergone a thoughtful renovation by your hosts.

Located in Plaka, there are plenty of tavernas, bars and shops nearby to enjoy. Or visit the Acropolis Museum, around a fifteen-minute walk away.
