Located in Neos Cosmos – Athens’ young and trendy neighbourhood – this contemporary apartment puts you in a prime position to explore the best of the Greek capital’s history and culture. The location is second to none – and its stylish aesthetic is sure to charm you. Bold accents and modern artwork reflect the neighbourhood’s creative influence. With plush furnishings and unique designs, there’s everything you could wish for a memorable stay in the city. Watch the sunrise with a coffee on the balcony, turn pages of your holiday read from the plump sofa and share a glass of Greece’s national drink, Ouzo, at the golden hour. When you’re ready to check out the city sights, you’re right in the Athenian cultural hub. Start your day at a neighbourhood cafe before soaking up some contemporary art at Onassis Stegi Cultural Centre. The city’s ancient citadel and sights are moments from your front door – climb the steps to the Acropolis and admire the former colossal temple, the Olympian Zeus.
