Sitting on the top floor with views over your Nea Smyrni neighbourhood, this bright, modern apartment offers a calm and scenic base from which to explore Athens and its vibrant suburbs. Inside, wood floors, striking pops of colour and an abundance of natural light create an instantly inviting welcome in the open-plan living area. Step out outside onto your private balcony – the ideal place to begin mornings with a cup of coffee or to end the night with a glass of Greek wine. We love the fiery red walls in the sleek kitchen, as well as the funky black dining table that beckons sociable soirées when you’re not out sampling the local tavernas. With a pair of comfy bedrooms as well as two bathrooms – one of which has a Jacuzzi bathtub – there’s no end to the relaxation in store. When it comes to exploring outside your home, make a beeline for the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center which now houses the National Greek Library, or spend a carefree day at the beach, 2 kilometres away. With bus stops 200 metres away running services into central Athens too, you’re all set for culture and history aplenty.
