Situated on one of Athens' most popular, pedestrianised shopping streets and overlooked by the Parthenon, this two-storey apartment offers you an unparalleled city-centre sanctuary. The interior is light and bright, thanks to large windows and French doors leading out onto charming little balconies where you can take in Athens' atmosphere without leaving the comfort of the apartment. A double-height ceiling in the kitchen/living room provides a real sense of space, while the pared-back decor keeps things feeling fresh and uncluttered. It's a feeling carried through the main en-suite bedroom, where a mirrored wall helps reflect all the available light around the room. Step out, and you'll find yourself close to the vibrant neighbourhood of Psyri. Here, you'll encounter plenty of bustling bars that stay open late, as well as traditional tavernas serving local favourites. If you'd rather steer clear of the international chains that line Ermou Street, you can find small artisan shops that sell handcrafted homewares.
