Sitting just a two-minute walk from Alsos Park, this retro-modern apartment is the ideal base for those looking for a quiet, authentic stay away from the tourist crowds yet still within easy walking distance of Athens’ most historic sights. Inside, an earthy palette brings a cool retro boho vibe to the sunny living area, where contemporary furnishings and decorative pieces like a Persian rug and a wooden rocking chair set a relaxing, welcoming scene. Open up the glass door here to step put onto a private balcony surrounded by leafy potted plants. This is the perfect spot to enjoy your coffee each morning while people-watching from your third-floor vantage point, or to sip an Ouzo in the evening before discovering the many local tavernas. The bedroom, meanwhile, is dressed in the same earthy tones and has a desk space here should you need to catch up on work, as well as speedy wi-fi. Factor in the sleek en-suite with its rainfall shower and you’ve got everything you need for a blissful stay. When it comes to exploring nearby, walk ten minutes to visit the Panathenaic Stadium – home to the first modern Olympic games – or stroll twenty...

Home truths

    Mosquito nets are provided

    Out of respect for the neighbours, please keep noise levels to a minimum between 1 pm and 5 pm, as well as between 10 pm and 7 am
