Technically two separate apartments, this home dominates the entire second and third floors of a historic building in Athens’ Plaka neighbourhood. Guests here can spread out between four suites, two living rooms (each with a double sofa bed) and two full kitchens. The crowning glory of these apartments has to be the private terrace which looks out to the Acropolis, rising above the city in ancient splendour. A hot tub can soak sore feet after a day exploring the myriad restaurants and bars in the narrow old streets of your Plaka neighbourhood.

When it comes to location, you'd struggle to find an apartment more conveniently located than this one. Nestled right in the heart of Athens, it provides easy access to the ancient city's most famous attractions, and plenty of space to unwind between your sightseeing excursions. 

The interior is a fusion of classic charm with a modern twist. When you need to refuel, you can whip up some home-cooked Greek favourites in the kitchen to share at the chic dining table. Afterwards, head out onto one of the two balconies to enjoy a glass of Greek wine in the sunshine. Or, if you're visiting during the colder months, you can curl up beside the fireplace and get cosy. 

From here, the iconic Acropolis is just a ten-minute stroll away, as is Philopappos Hill. Once you've admired the stunning views of the city and soaked up the sense of history, you can learn even more with a visit to the National Archaeological Museum – it's a twenty-minute bus ride away. And, when you need to refuel after a long day, you can take your pick from the charming local restaurants serving classic dishes.

Nice to haves

As soon as we saw this home, we could tell that the host is an architect – it's a design lover's dream. Let's start with the outdoor space – it's fantastic. There are a couple of balconies with cityscape outlooks on one side and sunset views on the other, while the roof terrace is perfect for cocktails. We love the vistas that stretch from the Acropolis to the hills of Athens. Inside, double-height ceilings, concrete finishes, a modern steel staircase and wooden floors are softened with powder blue and pink furnishings, as well as lots of tropical plants and orchids. Large windows allow light to flood in – the living space is wonderful. Relax on the comfy sofa and read one of the design or guidebooks here.

Located in Gazi, a pedestrian cobblestone path starts just around the corner from this home and leads all the way to the old neighbourhood of Plaka, which sits below the Acropolis. Or head to the nearby Gazi Technopolis, a cultural centre within a former gasworks, which hosts concerts and exhibitions.



Athens Design

Now this is how you do a stay in Athens. From the unfettered panoramas of the ancient Acropolis to the hot tub on the private terrace, you can absorb the unparalleled beauty of this historic city from the comfort of your homestay. 

Wrap-around windows keep the Parthenon firmly in view – keep one eye on the alluring temple as you lap up Greek yoghurt with dollops of honey at the breakfast table or while you’re reclining on the sofa in the evening, a glass of wine in hand. 

When it’s time to embark on a sightseeing adventure, step out into the heady streets and begin with a stroll up to the top of Filopappou Hill, just five minutes from your doorstep. Visit the Prison of Socrates, the Ancient Deme of Koile and Deaf Man’s Cave. Have lunch under the orange trees at raved-about seafood spots, before soaking up the sunshine in the tranquil National Garden.

This central Athens home has everything you need for a wonderful stay in the city. The apartment is bright and spacious, spread over two floors with an open-plan living space. After a long day of seeing the sights, this apartment offers peace and quiet – it’s the perfect place to return to. 

The apartment is wonderfully situated in the heart of things, and a metro station is nearby for those excursions that take you further afield. The Acropolis is a thirteen-minute walk, and Parthenon fourteen minutes. Spend a morning exploring these historic sights, marvelling at their majesty and how they sit side by side with modern Athens. Monastiraki Square – just three minutes from the apartment – is a perfect example of how Athens ties together history and modernity. Take a look at the pillars of Hadrian’s library then wander over to pick up souvlaki for lunch. Shops, cafes and street performers add a lively buzz to the square and make it an excellent place to refuel. 

If shopping always features in your city breaks, you’re in luck – the apartment is on Ermou Street, which is a great place to refresh your wardrobe. Once back at the apartment, take a relaxing shower and pour a glass of wine. Make the most of the stylish space before you head out for dinner and drinks.

This two-bedroom penthouse offers stunning views of Athens. Landmarks like the Acropolis, Mount Lycabettus, and the Temple of Olympian Zeus are visible from the private balcony, which has space to sit out with a drink and enjoy wonderful sunset views. Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms separated by glass walls, so you'll find privacy somewhat limited. But the main bedroom suite boasts a private living room and a marble Jacuzzi tub. As this home is in a hotel building there are plenty of amenities and extra services, from a private chef to a communal gym and roof garden.

Athens Oasis

This bright and sunny apartment is in the perfect location for city breaks to Athens. You can stroll to the Acropolis in five minutes, and the incredible Temple of Zeus is six minutes away on foot. From this apartment, the city is walkable, but if you want to give your feet a break you need only walk seven minutes to the Sygrou Fix metro station – from there, the city is yours. 

After spending a day touring around the fascinating archaeological sites and the museums, returning to this apartment feels like a salve. It’s crisp, clean and calm. Despite its central location, it’s not directly above a hectic street so the balcony is a little haven. Sip cold beers while soaking up the last of the day’s sunshine before you head out for dinner. 

You’re right in the thick of things here so you don’t have to travel far for your next great Greek meal. Will you choose a lively bar or a family-run taverna?

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 you want to see the Acropolis up close, then it's a ten-minute ride.
