Located right on the edge of Athens’ National Park, this sleek studio-style apartment is an idyllic base for couples or solo travellers seeking a central spot to explore the city’s top sights. This spot will suit those visiting on business too – there’s a dedicated workspace in the cool grey bedroom, as well as a large balcony – perfect for morning coffees and evening glasses of Athiri. The luxury touches, abstract artworks and statement sliding door adorned with a laser-cut honeycomb design all make this space feel sumptuously modern – so, when you feel like a quieter night in, you’ll feel just as pampered as you would by the vibrant energy outside your door. Days are best spent on Monastiraki Square, where you’ll find Hadrian’s Library and the Ancient Agora. Make sure to sample a colourful array of Greek dishes and locally-produced Ouzo at an authentic restaurant, too. And with the Acropolis Museum, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Philopappos Monument – all within walking distance, you’ll be fully immersed in the city’s history within moments of leaving your apartment.

    We recommend skipping the car and exploring Athens on foot or by public transport instead – Megaron Metro Station is a few steps away
