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.

Find a quiet nook to curl up with a book or challenge your loved ones to a game of chess in the serene main bedroom. When you’re ready, take the ten-minute walk to the mighty Acropolis and stand in the presence of the ancient Parthenon. Stroll over to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, five minutes from your doorstep, then soak up the sunshine from the 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.

Begin your holiday in style and get collected in a luxury car at the airport before being driven to this apartment in a building in the ‘artists’ neighbourhood of Athens. Located close to many great landmarks, and with uninterrupted views over the Acropolis and city skyline, this home offers a truly amazing experience.

Why not start your mornings here with a refreshing iced Greek frappe on your private balcony, as you admire the fantastic panorama that takes in the Lycabettus hills and, of course, the Acropolis perched high above the city? Then, head out and explore the historic landmarks including the Temple of Olympian Zeus – a fifteen-minute walk away, and the Acropolis – reachable in twenty-four minutes on foot. 

In the evening, take advantage of the shared rooftop terrace with its lounge sitting area and large dining table to relax and chat about your day, dine alfresco, or simply enjoy the magnificent sunset views which cover a 360-degree vista of the city, including a glimpse of the ocean. We would then love to end our days with an Ouzo cocktail on our private balcony admiring the sight of the Acropolis light up at night. 

Eyes on the Acropolis

Barbeque

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	

The buzzing atmosphere of central Athens is something everyone should experience one day, and this home is right in the thick of it. Situated a four-minute walk away from the street leading to Acropolis – one of Athens famed archeological treasures – and only a twelve-minute walk from the busy area of Monastiraki, where you'll find lively bars and cafés, a stay here will put you in an ideal location to explore the wonders of this historic city.

But when you're inside the apartment you wouldn't think you're in central Athens, with street noise being completely cut off from this third-floor home. So for the days when you want to relax in the lounge and enjoy the natural light flooding in from the oversized windows, you'll be pleased to know you'll have your own sanctuary in the heart of the city. But the real gem of this home is the private balcony, which feels like a slice of Middle Eastern paradise in Southern Europe. Whether you want to read a book and enjoy the Greek sunshine, or marvel at the lights of Acropolis and the Parthenon from your balcony at night, we guarantee you'll be spending a lot of time here.

Acropolis Lights

This stylish apartment has a fabulous address in the sought-after neighbourhood of Neos Kosmos. The Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum are just a ten-minute walk or one stop on the Metro, while Philopappos Hill is a fifteen-minute stroll – watch the sun set over the city from here. It's the same walking distance to Plaka, with its narrow cobblestone streets lined with shops.

Back at this home, relax on the private balcony with a glass of Greek wine, surrounded by lush plants. Or unwind inside on the mustard-coloured sofa. If you don't fancy eating out, whip up some tzatziki in the blender in the modern kitchen and enjoy it at your dining table with some souvlaki. This place is the perfect Athenian bolthole for two couples, a family or business professionals.

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.

Top Pick

Located in Athens’ stylish Kolonaki neighbourhood, this comfortable studio-style apartment is an ideal base for couples or solo travellers looking to explore the city from a calm yet central spot. Ideal for those visiting on business too, you’ll find a dedicated desk space in the sage green bedroom, as well as a little Juliet balcony – perfect for perching with your morning cup of Greek coffee as you map out the day’s activities. Take the funicular up Lycabettus Hill for jaw-dropping views over the entire city, spend an afternoon at the Benaki Museum or hop on the Metro to visit the famous Acropolis. 

After a day of touring the city, come back for a light bite at home courtesy of your kitchenette or set out to explore the many restaurants and bars on your doorstep before returning home for a restful night’s sleep.
