A quick glance at those views and it’s not hard to see why this penthouse apartment caught our eye. Overlooking the Acropolis, this is the perfect setting for an immersive city escape. From here, it’s just a short walk to the iconic landmarks, while cafes and restaurants are all within easy reach. You may hear some street noise throughout your stay, but this is a great option for couples and solo travellers in search of ease and comfort. We imagine most of your time will be spent on the private balcony or watching the magic unfold from the sofa.
