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.

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.

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


Sunset Over the Acropolis	

Toaster

If location is high on your priority list, this super-sleek apartment in the heart of Athens is right on the money. The chic home has a certain grandiosity with gold accents, marble sculptures, and luxurious finishes that draw on ancient Greece's splendour. And it just so happens that the Acropolis is a mere 300 metres away. Here, you can embrace the historical magic of Athens with ease, while also getting a taste of the city's newer side and its cosmopolitan flair. 

You’ll love waking up in your elegant bedrooms, with natural light flooding in through floor-to-ceiling windows. One bedroom even has a view of the Acropolis. Start your days with freshly brewed coffee on the balcony, watching the city come to life with the Temple of Olympian Zeus to your left. Get ready for the day in luxurious bathrooms, making good use of the high-end toiletries provided by a local producer.

If you’re not heading straight out to explore, gather around the dining table for a hearty breakfast – the velvety boudoir setting adds a sprinkle of glamour to your meal. Then, you’re ready to hit the cobblestone streets of Athens. Bursting with culture and history, the Herodian Odeon, the ancient theatre of Dionysus, Ancient Agora, the Temple of Zeus, and so much more are at your fingertips. After a day on your feet, head to the nearby Syntagma Square for well-deserved drinks and delectable Greek food.

Sitting at the foot of the Acropolis, the neighbourhood of Plaka is brimming with the cultural depth and warmth of Athens. 

Wander along the cobblestone streets and you’ll find this apartment located in a Neoclassical building dating back to the 1930s. And while the exterior sings with tradition, the interior provides all the comfort of a contemporary sanctuary. 

From the minimalist furnishings and open plan design to the snug bedrooms and little balcony, there’s everything you could need for a restorative stay in the city. Watch the sunrise with a coffee on the shared terrace, take a long soak in the bath and gather for delicious Greek meals around the table. Wherever you are in this home, it’s the kind of space that brings ease and comfort to city living. 

Days can be spent strolling the central streets, admiring the architecture as you wind your way towards the Acropolis (just seven minutes away).

Art & Muse

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. And while the scenery is undoubtedly better experienced outside this ground-floor home than in, the space is functional, with bedrooms that can be prepared as twins or king sizes to suit your group. It also serves well for those needing to work remotely with your host able to kit the space with an office chair, monitor and scanner alongside the speedy wi-fi.

My Acropolis Views 

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

Athens boltholes don’t come more elegant or chic than this, folks. And settings don't get much better, either. Set overlooking a Cypress tree forest, you’d hardly believe this swish apartment was perched right in the heart of the downtown action.

Inside, the designers have allowed the magnificent forest vistas to do all the talking through those vast picture windows. While a restful, neutral palette unites the space, with occasional houseplants and curated artwork bringing pops of colour and interest.

Sunny mornings call for coffee on the balcony as you soak up the views of the cypress trees and bid the birds a good morning. While cooler days are all about hunkering down inside beside the fire – those views will be right there with you. Then lay the table for a lazy brunch – there’s everything you could need to flex your culinary muscles in that designer kitchen with the obligatory coffee machine ready to fire up.

When you’re ready to blaze a trail into downtown Athens, the Evangelismos Metro is just a short walk away. But if time is on your side, hit the streets instead – the mighty Acropolis and the historic streets of Monastiraki are all within walking distance, with pitstops for koulouri bread and flaky bougatsas along the way. And when you’re ready to escape the crowds for awhile, the vast Alsos Ilision Park is just moments from your door. Covering an impressive 150 acres and filled with, you guessed it, cypress trees, it's your very own oasis in the city.

The Cypress Maze

Few vistas can rival the sight of the majestic Acropolis towering over Athens, and there’s really no beating waking up to glance out of the window and witnessing it in all its splendour. A stay at this cosy studio apartment will afford you just that – thanks to the huge private terrace, you’ll be able to enjoy the iconic view any time you like. 

While space is certainly compact here, the place exudes warmth and comfort thanks to the modern decor and streams of natural light flooding in through the large windows. The comfortable bed invites you for nights of sweet dreams, while the well-equipped kitchen is perfect for rustling up quick and easy snacks and late-night suppers which can be savoured out on the terrace. 

Ideal as a base for a romantic getaway or for a solo traveller, this pad’s location could hardly be any more convenient – outside your front door, you’ll find yourself just moments away from the entrance to the Acropolis Museum, as well as the Metro station. Step outside and take your pick, whichever direction you choose, there’ll be wonders awaiting.
