Athens boltholes don’t come more elegant or chic than this, folks. And settings don't get much better, either. Set overlooking a Cypress tree forest, you’d hardly believe this swish apartment was perched right in the heart of the downtown action. Inside, the designers have allowed the magnificent forest vistas to do all the talking through those vast picture windows. While a restful, neutral palette unites the space, with occasional houseplants and curated artwork bringing pops of colour and interest. Sunny mornings call for coffee on the balcony as you soak up the views of the cypress trees and bid the birds a good morning. While cooler days are all about hunkering down inside beside the fire – those views will be right there with you. Then lay the table for a lazy brunch – there’s everything you could need to flex your culinary muscles in that designer kitchen with the obligatory coffee machine ready to fire up. When you’re ready to blaze a trail into downtown Athens, the Evangelismos Metro is just a short walk away. But if time is on your side, hit the streets instead – the mighty Acropolis and the historic streets of Monastiraki are all within walking distance, with... pitstops for koulouri bread and flaky bougatsas along the way. And when you’re ready to escape the crowds for awhile, the vast Alsos Ilision Park is just moments from your door. Covering an impressive 150 acres and filled with, you guessed it, cypress trees, it's your very own oasis in the city.

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. In the narrow streets of the city, you’ll find Byzantine churches, adorned with ancient mosaics, tucked in between street food restaurants serving gyros wraps and bakeries serving spanakopita.
