With ancient buildings, historic ruins and preserved sculptures at every turn, the Kypseli neighbourhood showcases Modernist influences from the Bauhaus and Art Deco movements following urbanisation in the 1930s. Uniquely situated amongst the green of Pedion Areos, from which you can admire from your balcony, this central home offers both tranquillity of the park and vibrancy of the neighbourhood that surrounds it. Urban minimalism takes centre stage here with clean lines, calm tones and considered soft furnishings, creating a restorative base to return to after a day of exploring the independent boutiques and cafes along the stream-lined Fokionos Negri boulevard. Saturdays are best spent on the avenue, at the Demotiki Agora organic market, where you’ll find artisan bread and regional wines - perfect to stock up on for a local lunch around your mid-century dining table. Take the bus to Monastiraki square, the bus stop is just across the road, where you can spend the day exploring Hadrian’s Library, the Ancient Agora and soak up the energy of the square. For dinner, consider Hoocut for the iconic pita wrap, Souvlaki - transformed into an elevated pillow bread with moist mutton - by a team of the country’s top talents,... all set up against a neoclassical backdrop that also sports a butcher shop, grocery store and bakery. Make sure you save some room for fried, honey-soaked dough balls at Lukumades - our choice is the praline-filled option - where you can grab a dozen and head home to enjoy them on your balcony and watch the historic Greek sunset fade beneath Lycabettus hill.
