This apartment might be right in the centre of Athens, but it feels a million miles away from the hustle and bustle. It's perfect for small groups, couples, or solo travellers who want a peaceful place to unwind between their adventures in the city. Step inside, and you'll be charmed by the soothing colour scheme and use of natural materials, which creates a truly tranquil ambiance. Refuel after your excursions with a delicious homemade meal, cooked in the sleek kitchen, and share your stories around the chic dining table. Afterwards, you can head out to the balcony and relax in the retro egg chair with a glass of Greek wine. Or, in the chillier months, get comfy on the sofa and catch up on your favourite Netflix shows. From here, you can stroll over to the Acropolis in just ten minutes, and admire the epic views across Athens. Once you've visited the nearby Theatre of Dionysus and the Temple of Athena, hop on the bus to visit the National Archaeological Museum to learn about ancient Greek culture. And, when you get hungry, there are plenty of family-run eateries in the surrounding streets where you can dine on local favourites.
