Nestled in the heart of Athens, within striking distance of the Acropolis, this modern home is a great base for those looking to experience all the Greek capital has to offer. Whether you’re travelling for business or pleasure, you’ll love coming home to this stunning city apartment, where you’ll find all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. We love the feel of the interior here – think warm tones and uncluttered rooms – but it’s the outside space that really caught our eye. Boasting not one, but two private terraces, this is the perfect place to unwind after a busy day of sightseeing. Pour yourself an evening aperitivo to sip as the sun goes down or rustle up your best home-cooked moussaka and dine al fresco under the stars. We don’t know about you, but that sounds pretty magical to us.
