Exuding class and style at every turn, this luxurious apartment puts you in an ideal position to make the most of Athens’ sights while enjoying an endlessly comfortable stay. Located in the city’s upscale Makriyanni neighbourhood, you’ll see history unfolding before you as you sip a coffee on the private balcony or clink classes over sundowners here. The swish living room’s fireplace, meanwhile, sets a romantic scene – best enjoyed with some tunes on the Marshall Bluetooth speakers and a good book in hand. Step into the bedroom to be dazzled by its beautifully dressed bed and its door leading out onto the balcony, ensuring you get your dose of Greek sun first thing each morning. And after a long day of exploring the city on foot, nothing says relaxation like a long soak in the Jacuzzi tub. When it comes to sightseeing, you couldn’t be better placed with the Temple of Olympian Zeus a six-minute walk away, the Parthenon a thirteen-minute stroll and the Acropolis Museum five minutes away on foot. You’re also a six-minute walk from Hadrian's Arch, while the Philopappos Monument is eighteen minutes on foot from your door.
