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.

After a day of uncovering the secrets of Ancient Greece, head home, draw a bubble bath and get ready for dinner. Try your hand at cooking some local delicacies yourself in the kitchen and eat in front of the fireplace, or find a local restaurant serving souvlaki – either way, you won't regret it.

The buzzing atmosphere of central Athens is something everyone should experience one day, and this home is right in the thick of it.

Welcome Hamper

Sophisticated yet comfortable, this monochrome abode is an inviting and stylish stay in the heart of Athens. Kick back and relax on the charcoal grey with a cup of coffee as you and your brood hash out plans for the day. Before you embark on your Athenian Adventure, put together a tasty breakfast in the sleek kitchen and enjoy on the bright patio. 

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. Finish the afternoon with a bite to eat in one of the many gourmet restaurants or family-run tavernas that surround your home.

Dionysus

When you embark on a city break, there is one factor which shines in significance – the location. Luckily, this snug apartment is nestled right in the heart of Athens and within walking distance of the major landmarks. You couldn't be better placed for your Greek adventure.

Despite its central location, the cosy haven maintains a peaceful privacy at all times. You can enjoy a quiet night in without the bustle of Athens' busy streets disrupting your film or conversation. 

Of course, when you're so ideally situated, you want to get out and discover the charm of Greece's capital city. The iconic buildings, such as the Acropolis, are just a short walk away. There's a metro stop nearby if you wanted to spread your wings across this glistening metropolis.

After a day of sightseeing, rest at the welcoming ambiance of the various tavernas. Sample the local dishes, including moussaka and the famous Greek salad, washed down with a glass of wine. 

Among The Gods

Relax in this orange-themed apartment in the historic city of Athens. You'll be in a fantastic central spot, just a walk away from some of the most famous landmarks in Greece and an abundance of delicious eateries to dine in. Snuggle up on the sofa to watch a movie on Netflix as the sunlight floods in through the balcony door with a cup of coffee, followed by spending a couple of hours on the balcony cushions with your new favourite book. 

Later in the afternoon, head out to the streets to visit the popular Acropolis, an ancient landmark that is a perfect backdrop for those holiday photos. As you walk through the streets of Athens you'll smell a variety of scrumptious scents, from freshly brewed coffee, buttery baked goods, and tasty Greek cuisine. Pop into a cafe to sample Grecian 
desserts such as Baklava and our personal favourite, a slice of Milopita.

Return home as the evening draws in to soak in the outdoor hot tub – the perfect spot to directly watch the sunset. Pour yourself a glass of wine while you watch the birds fly to their nests, as the amber glow in the sky shines.

Tangerine Melopita

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.

Ancient Nouveau

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.



Acropolis Metropolis

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.
