This apartment in the centre of Athens feels like a rare gem. It’s not often we find a one-bedroom apartment, this central, with a big terrace and its own Jacuzzi. The apartment itself is a vibrant medley of modern artworks and slate-grey furnishings. In monochrome style, the kitchen has everything you need for self-catering. It’s the outside space that really takes the biscuit here – the terrace is shaded by the heat by pristine white awnings and there’s plenty of room on the rattan armchairs for drinks outside. Soak in the bubbling Jacuzzi at the end of a day exploring the ancient sites of Athens. 

Speaking of which, the old-world charm of the Plaka neighbourhood is just a fifteen-minute walk away where narrow cobbled alleyways are home to funky bars and rustic restaurants. The Acropolis is a further five minutes away, the crowning glory of Athens’ ancient history. 

The Ancient Olympian

Located in Athens’ stylish Kolonaki neighbourhood, this comfortable studio-style apartment is an ideal base for couples or solo travellers looking to explore the city from a calm yet central spot. Ideal for those visiting on business too, you’ll find a dedicated desk space in the sage green bedroom, as well as a little Juliet balcony – perfect for perching with your morning cup of Greek coffee as you map out the day’s activities. Take the funicular up Lycabettus Hill for jaw-dropping views over the entire city, spend an afternoon at the Benaki Museum or hop on the Metro to visit the famous Acropolis. 

After a day of touring the city, come back for a light bite at home courtesy of your kitchenette or set out to explore the many restaurants and bars on your doorstep before returning home for a restful night’s sleep.

Inside, you’ll find the owners have created an inviting setting for laid-back gatherings. From the minimalist furnishings and playful pops of colour to the open-plan design, it’s effortless to settle in and make this space your own. Gather on the balcony for morning coffees as the sun rises above the summit and gather for fresh breakfasts around the table as you map out the day’s plans. Where to start? Tour the Agios Georgios Chapel, peruse the artworks at Benaki Museum and catch a memorable performance at The Megaron Athens Music Concert Hall – or, march to the beat of your own drum and enjoy drinks at a jazz bar or Ouzo cocktails back home with the piano.

Private balcony, breezy living area, central location – it's no wonder this apartment ticks all of our boxes. Plenty of room to spread out makes this the perfect pad for friends and families. The kitchen is well-equipped for whipping up home-cooked meals, the bedrooms have ample storage space, and the outside area is the cherry on top. You'll be a bit further away from the main tourist attractions if you're looking to explore historic Athens. That said, a metro a few metres away runs straight to Monastiraki, multiple green spaces are within walking distance, and the famous Lycabettus Hill can also be reached on foot.

Of course no trip to Athens would be complete without a visit to the Acropolis and the Parthenon (2 kilometres from this home). Inside, the bedroom is separated from the kitchen by glazing. Though the kitchen is fully equipped with a hob and oven, there isn't much food preparation space. While the home can sleep up to four people, the maximum occupancy here is two guests.

If this view doesn’t say Athens, then we don’t know what else will. From its high and mighty perch, the city’s most iconic landmarks are all on show – from the Archaeological Museum and the Lycabettus Hill, to the mighty Acropolis. It’s a panorama as sensational by day when the sun beats down on the city's Pentelic marble, as it is by night when Athen’s lights begin to twinkle.

Stepping inside, this oh-so-swish crib keeps bringing the wow factor – starting with that private gym, Turkish steam bath, and the free-flowing living area made for socialising. Lay the table for glamorous dinner parties (the nifty pool table converts into a dining table). Then keep the night flowing with a game of pool and cocktails at the bar to soak up the vistas.

When it’s time to dive into the warren of historic streets below, blaze a trail to Monastiraki (within walking distance of the apartment) – there are shady street cafes, vibey bars and authentic Greek tavernas just waiting to uncover. Or, if you’d rather escape the crowds, keep things local with an amble around the city’s largest park,  Pedion Areos, with panoramic views of the city – it’s just a five-minute hop, skip and jump away.

Soak up the vibes of the happening Koukaki quarter with its shady outside cafes and bustling bars. Blaze a trail to Syntagma Square, the heart of modern Athens. And, of course, there's always the mighty Acropolis. It's all within walking distance of the penthouse, so your only dilemma will be deciding where to head first.

As soon as we saw this home, we could tell that the host is an architect – it's a design lover's dream. Spread across a two-bedroom penthouse and a ground-floor studio, there's plenty of space here to get comfortable. A couple of balconies boast cityscape outlooks on one side and sunset views on the other, while the roof terrace is perfect for cocktails. We love the vistas that stretch from the Acropolis to the hills of Athens. Inside, expect double-height ceilings, concrete finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows, and lots of tropical plants and orchids. Those wanting an extra slice of privacy will enjoy the studio's third bedroom and a small kitchenette.

Located in Gazi, a pedestrian cobblestone path starts just around the corner from this home and leads all the way to the old neighbourhood of Plaka, which sits below the Acropolis.

And since it’s only a short walk away, prepare to climb the steps and discover the remains of the high city, Parthenon temple and ancient citadel that dates back to the fourth millennium BC.

We love the modern designs and clean finishes here – from the crisp palette of cool greys and whites to the thoughtful choice of contemporary furnishings. We particularly love the statement pendant light that creates a uniquely inviting ambience above the sleek kitchen, where we imagine you’ll throw together an array of Greek dishes after a day exploring the cobblestoned streets of Plaka. Though with a barbecue on your rooftop, you might want to grill up some seafood and dine under the constellations. 

Written in the Constellations

It's the same walking distance to Plaka, with its narrow cobblestone streets lined with shops.

Back at this home, relax on the private balcony with a glass of Greek wine, surrounded by lush plants. Or unwind inside on the mustard-coloured sofa. If you don't fancy eating out, whip up some tzatziki in the blender in the modern kitchen and enjoy it at your dining table with some souvlaki. This place is the perfect Athenian bolthole for two couples, a family or business professionals.

If shopping always features in your city breaks, you’re in luck – the apartment is on Ermou Street, which is a great place to refresh your wardrobe. Once back at the apartment, take a relaxing shower and pour a glass of wine. Make the most of the stylish space before you head out for dinner and drinks. 


City Styx

Piano

Among the narrow streets of Athens, located near the back entrance of the Acropolis Museum, this Art Deco-inspired apartment offers the chance to fully immerse yourself in the culture of the Greek capital. 

Inside you’ll find a treasure trove of vintage pieces, from the rich herringbone flooring to the piano that’s perfect for keeping any dinner guests entertained. There’s plenty of history to discover away from the apartment, too, with the majestic Acropolis just a stone’s throw away. Spend a day looking at mysterious artefacts that once lived inside the ancient ruins of the citadel. 

Be sure to grab a bottle of wine on your way home, which is best enjoyed from the shared roof terrace, which offers views over the Parthenon temple and beyond. When it comes to admiring the scenery, you have multiple spots to choose from – the balcony is the perfect place to enjoy a coffee and gaze upon the typical Athenian houses. 

Art of Acropolis

Wow, just look at the views of the Acropolis from this home’s roof terrace – it’s a beautiful vista both day and night. Enjoy the outlook from the hot tub or the outdoor sofa with a sundowner. This place is ideal for a family or group of friends as there are two lounge areas and six bathrooms. We have to say, the location is as impressive as the house itself. You are located in perhaps the best spot in the city. It’s situated in Filopappou, a short walk from the Acropolis, the Parthenon and the Temple of Athena Nike, among many other iconic landmarks. This home and its prime address will allow you to create some special memories.

Ambrosia Abode

You'll find this charming boutique villa in the lively Koukaki neighbourhood of Athens.

If you need help planning your itinerary, your host will be more than happy to assist.

The Shadow of Athena

When you embark on a city break, there is one factor which shines in significance – the location. Luckily, this snug apartment is nestled right in the heart of Athens and within walking distance of the major landmarks. You couldn't be better placed for your Greek adventure.

Despite its central location, the cosy haven maintains a peaceful privacy at all times. You can enjoy a quiet night in without the bustle of Athens' busy streets disrupting your film or conversation. 

Of course, when you're so ideally situated, you want to get out and discover the charm of Greece's capital city. The iconic buildings, such as the Acropolis, are just a short walk away. There's a metro stop nearby if you wanted to spread your wings across this glistening metropolis.

After a day of sightseeing, rest at the welcoming ambiance of the various tavernas. Sample the local dishes, including moussaka and the famous Greek salad, washed down with a glass of wine.
