Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
The ancient Acropolis and historic ruins of the Parthenon are just around the corner from this charming and modern apartment. Situated in the Neos Kosmos neighbourhood, this central home offers both tranquillity and history. With clean finishes, from the soft palette of cool greys and whites to the thoughtful choice of contemporary elements - think sleek wooden floors and Abstract Impressionist artworks - this feels like a considered home. Spend your mornings drinking coffee on the stunning wooden breakfast table, as you plan today’s cultural itinerary. And when you’re ready to come home, after a sight-packed day, your plush bed is ready for you to sink into for a peaceful night’s sleep. Days are best spent on Monastiraki square, a thirteen-minute metro ride from your apartment, where you’ll find Hadrian’s Library and the Ancient Agora. Head to Granáda for a colourful lunch of Andalusian-Greek dishes of shrimp empanadas and octopus with fava beans - we love their housemade sangria. Don’t forget to save some space for fried, honey-soaked dough balls at Lukumades where you can grab a dozen and enjoy them from the square, absorbing the vibrant energy.

About Athens
It’s impossible to miss the Parthenon in Athens, rising up over the city and illuminated at night. For most, these preserved columned ruins are the epitome of the ancient world.
