When you’re ready to venture out for some sightseeing, you’ll find plenty to see and do within easy reach. Visit the Acropolis Museum and the Acropolis of Athens, make a beeline for the Philopappos Monument and spend a few hours admiring the works on display at the National Museum of Contemporary Art. With Plaka a ten-minute walk away too, not to mention the Metro station just a couple of minutes on foot from your door, the Greek capital’s your oyster from this central base. 


Leucothea

The ancient Acropolis and historic ruins of the Parthenon are just around the corner from this charming and modern apartment. Situated in the Neos Kosmos neighbourhood, this central home offers both tranquillity and history.
 
With clean finishes, from the soft palette of cool greys and whites to the thoughtful choice of contemporary elements - think sleek wooden floors and Abstract Impressionist artworks - this feels like a considered home. Spend your mornings drinking coffee on the stunning wooden breakfast table, as you plan today’s cultural itinerary. And when you’re ready to come home, after a sight-packed day, your plush bed is ready for you to sink into for a peaceful night’s sleep. 

Days are best spent on Monastiraki square, a thirteen-minute metro ride from your apartment, where you’ll find Hadrian’s Library and the Ancient Agora. Head to Granáda for a colourful lunch of Andalusian-Greek dishes of shrimp empanadas and octopus with fava beans - we love their housemade sangria. Don’t forget to save some space for fried, honey-soaked dough balls at Lukumades where you can grab a dozen and enjoy them from the square, absorbing the vibrant energy. 

Your Neighbour Acropolis

Wow, just look at the views of the Acropolis from this home’s roof terrace – it’s a beautiful vista both day and night. Enjoy the outlook from the hot tub or the outdoor sofa with a sundowner. This place is ideal for a family or group of friends as there are two lounge areas and six bathrooms. We have to say, the location is as impressive as the house itself. You are located in perhaps the best spot in the city. It’s situated in Filopappou, a short walk from the Acropolis, the Parthenon and the Temple of Athena Nike, among many other iconic landmarks. This home and its prime address will allow you to create some special memories.

Ambrosia Abode

Centrally located just a short walk from the Acropolis Museum, this modern apartment puts the city’s historic and cultural wonders on your doorstep, not to mention countless restaurants, bars and shops to explore at your leisure too. 

Inside, bright jewel tones and funky pop art create a thoroughly stylish welcome in the open-plan living area. Open up the doors here to step out onto a private balcony – perfect for soaking up some sun over your morning coffee or enjoying a sundowner after a busy day of touring the sights. The bedroom is just as inviting with its colourful feature wall and ample natural light, and its position facing a typical Athenian courtyard means a good night’s sleep is all but guaranteed. 

With your host able to provide plenty of work-from-home equipment – including a monitor and an office chair – you’re all set should you need to catch up on work. But with all the delights Athens has to offer, we recommend less work and more play. 


Theia's Jewel

Situated just 350 metres from the Temple of Olympian Zeus and a ten-minute mosey from the mighty Acropolis, this modern studio has the best of Ancient Athens within touching distance. Stretch your legs a little further to the bohemian neighbourhood of Psiri for mezze in local eateries and live music in cool bars. Browse the indie shops for a souvenir before people-watching from a curbside café. 

The apartment itself is thoroughly up-to-the-minute with its funky botanical print feature wall, sleek mod-cons and stylish furnishings. The comfortable living area is a treat to return to at the end of a busy day spent exploring, and the neat kitchen has everything you need for rustling up Greek-inspired dishes. When it’s time to call it a night, there’s nothing better than falling into the hotel-quality bed and drifting off into a deep sleep.

The Flower of the Acropolis

Board Games

The location is second to none – and its stylish aesthetic is sure to charm you. Bold accents and modern artwork reflect the neighbourhood’s creative influence.  

With plush furnishings and unique designs, there’s everything you could wish for a memorable stay in the city. Watch the sunrise with a coffee on the balcony, turn pages of your holiday read from the plump sofa and share a glass of Greece’s national drink, Ouzo, at the golden hour.

When you’re ready to check out the city sights, you’re right in the Athenian cultural hub. Start your day at a neighbourhood cafe before soaking up some contemporary art at Onassis Stegi Cultural Centre. The city’s ancient citadel and sights are moments from your front door – climb the steps to the Acropolis and admire the former colossal temple, the Olympian Zeus.

Olympian Oasis

Heated Towel Rail

Located in Athens’ charmingly eclectic Koukaki neighbourhood, this modern apartment is an ideal base for those looking to soak up the vibrancy of Greek culture and history. 

Pared-back and decorated with a distinctly Scandi feel, the open-plan living area invites you to begin your mornings over fresh coffee around the kitchen’s dining table and kick back on the sofa after a day of exploring the capital. What’s more, you’ve got a private balcony to enjoy – the ideal spot to sip a glass of Greek wine before heading out to sample the local restaurant scene. Factor in the comfortable bedroom beckoning a restful night’s sleep, and you’ve got everything you need for a carefree stay. 

Outside of your home, you’ve got a plethora of colourful shops and restaurants to discover in your  Koukaki locale, while the Acropolis Museum is five minutes away. You’re also within easy reach of the Acropolis of Athens itself, as well as the Philopappos Monument, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the National Museum of Contemporary Art.
