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.

When you’re ready to check out the city sights, you’re right in the Athenian cultural hub, named ‘Little Paris’ in the 1980s, where neoclassical buildings have been transformed into independent boutiques and eateries. And at the end of a sight-packed day, enjoy a warm-hazed walk home – you’ll be ready to sink into the soft sheets of your minimalist bedroom.

The interior is a fusion of classic charm with a modern twist. When you need to refuel, you can whip up some home-cooked Greek favourites in the kitchen to share at the chic dining table. Afterwards, head out onto one of the two balconies to enjoy a glass of Greek wine in the sunshine. Or, if you're visiting during the colder months, you can curl up beside the fireplace and get cosy. 

From here, the iconic Acropolis is just a ten-minute stroll away, as is Philopappos Hill. Once you've admired the stunning views of the city and soaked up the sense of history, you can learn even more with a visit to the National Archaeological Museum – it's a twenty-minute bus ride away.

We love how much natural light fills the open-plan living area, thanks to the glass doors that lead out onto a private balcony. Sit here each morning with your cup of coffee while taking in views over the neighbourhood’s rooftops, or gather at sunset for an alfresco sundowner before enjoying a meal around the dining table for an at-home feast. 
 
The two bedrooms, too, are just as chic with their luxuriously dressed beds and balcony access, while the bathroom’s rainfall shower and whirlpool tub offer the perfect relaxing bookends for any day.

A Blaze of Searing Light

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

Modern and bright, it offers a design-led decor and ample natural light thanks to its pair of balconies accessed via the living room and bedrooms. Take your pick of these outdoor spots on which to enjoy your morning coffee or celebratory glass of Ouzo, or kick back in the ochre and black living area after a long day of sightseeing.

Athenian Ochre

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.

But the real gem is the sunny balcony overlooking the street below. It's the picture of an Athens getaway – we can already imagine ourselves sipping wine, nibbling on olives and watching the sun go down.

You'll find everything you need to experiment with Greek cooking in the kitchen, and luxury bedding in the double rooms encourages restful sleep after full afternoons of sightseeing.

Sage & Palm

Sound System

There's an awful lot riding in this apartment's favour. First, there's the fact that it's up on the top floor of the building and there are superb views of Filopapou Hill to be enjoyed from the balcony. What's more, there's plenty of seating in this space from which to admire the landscape, as well as a hot tub big enough for two.

Rather impressively, the interior lives up to this impressive outdoor space. The design is fresh and contemporary, with white walls broken up by monochrome artwork and green house plants. The kitchen is both sleek and decently sized compared to other apartments of a similar size, while the grey bathroom wouldn't look out of place in some of the city's most coveted hotels.

What's more, many of Athen's most famous attractions are easily reached on foot. The Acropolis, for example, is just under twenty-five minutes' walk, as is the Temple of Olympian Zeus. A little closer to home — and to the current day, for that matter — the National Museum of Contemporary Art is five minutes' walk.



Carved by Angels

Located in the well-heeled Athens neighbourhood of Koukaki, this home's exposed brick walls lend it plenty of charm, creating an ideal space for aperitifs before a night out of fine dining and bar hopping.

A Penny for Thought

Make your trip to Athens magical by staying in a home fit for the gods. Nestled in the lively area of Koukaki, this upscale apartment invites you to experience the Greek capital in the best way possible. Freshly renovated and enlivened with luxury appeal, this place is illuminated by a medley of earthy tones, and softened by a selection of natural materials. It’s chic but cosy.

If you’ve got a soft spot for the finer things in life, this place is right up your street. 
Fusing chic interiors with a prime location and all the amenities you could ever wish for, this place leaves little to be desired. The front and back balconies welcome you to watch the sun rise and set in style, and when night falls, be sure to admire the twinkling stars that light up the night sky. 
We love the attention to detail in this home – you can tell that everything has been carefully cherry–picked for the ultimate sense of perfection. From the contemporary herringbone tiles in the open–plan shower room, to the curation of hanging ceiling lights, no stone is left unturned here. In fact, if you ask us, this place is pretty faultless.

We’re sure Athens’ clear night skies are just too tempting to miss out on, but if you do feel like staying in, the cosy fireplace presents the perfect spot to snuggle up and recline. Pop on your bathrobe and curl up on the shearling chair with a warm Rakomelo and while away the evening. 


A Gift From The Gods

Ideally based just a short stroll away from the Athens Acropolis, this central apartment provides the perfect base for holidays spent seeing all the best sights in the city.

We love the little balcony, where you can sip your morning coffee while you watch the city wake up around you.

City Life

Outdoor Kitchen

With breathtaking views over the Acropolis and city skyline, this home is a real gem. Watch the sunset over the Acropolis with a glass of Greek wine on the private balcony, or head up to the shared roof terrace for the incredible 360-degree vistas of Athens – we could spend hours in either space. Housed in a recently built building, inside you'll find a stylish living space with cool greys and fresh whites. This place is ideal for friends, family or business professionals.

Located in the pretty, artistic neighbourhood of Mets, there are plenty of restaurants and bars on your doorstep. The Panathenaic Stadium, home to the first modern Olympic Games in the 19th-century and made of marble, is a ten-minute walk away or five minutes in the car. If you want to see the Acropolis up close, then it's a ten-minute ride.



Sunset Over the Acropolis	

The buzzing atmosphere of central Athens is something everyone should experience one day, and this home is right in the thick of it. Situated a four-minute walk away from the street leading to Acropolis – one of Athens famed archeological treasures – and only a twelve-minute walk from the busy area of Monastiraki, where you'll find lively bars and cafés, a stay here will put you in an ideal location to explore the wonders of this historic city.

But when you're inside the apartment you wouldn't think you're in central Athens, with street noise being completely cut off from this third-floor home. So for the days when you want to relax in the lounge and enjoy the natural light flooding in from the oversized windows, you'll be pleased to know you'll have your own sanctuary in the heart of the city. But the real gem of this home is the private balcony, which feels like a slice of Middle Eastern paradise in Southern Europe. Whether you want to read a book and enjoy the Greek sunshine, or marvel at the lights of Acropolis and the Parthenon from your balcony at night, we guarantee you'll be spending a lot of time here.

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. Or head to the nearby Gazi Technopolis, a cultural centre within a former gasworks, which hosts concerts and exhibitions.

Athens Design

Nestled in the lively Psyrri area of Athens, this apartment situated within a complex of holiday apartments offers a unique stay for guests. What’s better than a hot tub and a sleek city stay?

Athenian Spirit

Begin your holiday in style and get collected in a luxury car at the airport before being driven to this apartment in a building in the ‘artists’ neighbourhood of Athens. Located close to many great landmarks, and with uninterrupted views over the Acropolis and city skyline, this home offers a truly amazing experience.

Why not start your mornings here with a refreshing iced Greek frappe on your private balcony, as you admire the fantastic panorama that takes in the Lycabettus hills and, of course, the Acropolis perched high above the city? Then, head out and explore the historic landmarks including the Temple of Olympian Zeus – a fifteen-minute walk away, and the Acropolis – reachable in twenty-four minutes on foot. 

In the evening, take advantage of the shared rooftop terrace with its lounge sitting area and large dining table to relax and chat about your day, dine alfresco, or simply enjoy the magnificent sunset views which cover a 360-degree vista of the city, including a glimpse of the ocean. We would then love to end our days with an Ouzo cocktail on our private balcony admiring the sight of the Acropolis light up at night. 

Eyes on the Acropolis

Nestled in the heart of Athens, within striking distance of the Acropolis, this modern home is a great base for those looking to experience all the Greek capital has to offer. Whether you’re travelling for business or pleasure, you’ll love coming home to this stunning city apartment, where you’ll find all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. 

We love the feel of the interior here – think warm tones and uncluttered rooms – but it’s the outside space that really caught our eye. Boasting not one, but two private terraces, this is the perfect place to unwind after a busy day of sightseeing. Pour yourself an evening aperitivo to sip as the sun goes down or rustle up your best home-cooked moussaka and dine al fresco under the stars. We don’t know about you, but that sounds pretty magical to us. 

Above the Olive Trees

Pool / Snooker Table

Sauna

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.

Top Pick

Ideally located just a block away from the Acropolis Museum, there’s no shortage of cultural and historic must-sees on your doorstep here. From the Acropolis of Athens itself to Hadrian's Arch, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Philopappos Monument, there’s a wealth of sightseeing opportunities within easy reach, just waiting to be explored. 

After a busy day of touring the city, you’ll be glad to come home to your comfortable pad where a private balcony beckons sundowners and alfresco dinners when you’re not out sampling the local tavernas and restaurants. Should you need to catch up on work, your host is happy to provide all manner of office equipment, while the bedrooms – classically and carefully decorated – wait to ease you into a restful night’s sleep with the promise of more adventures to come. 


Eleos

Technically two separate apartments, this home dominates the entire second and third floors of a historic building in Athens’ Plaka neighbourhood. Guests here can spread out between four suites, two living rooms (each with a double sofa bed) and two full kitchens. The crowning glory of these apartments has to be the private terrace which looks out to the Acropolis, rising above the city in ancient splendour. A hot tub can soak sore feet after a day exploring the myriad restaurants and bars in the narrow old streets of your Plaka neighbourhood. 

The Greek Light

Paid Parking

Just take a look at the Acropolis views from this apartment's balcony and you'll see why it caught our attention. There are also vistas from inside, and there's access to the balcony from one of the bedrooms – name a better way to wake up each morning. The kitchen is galley style, relatively compact and somewhat dated, but it has everything you need. And, of course, you'll be located in the heart of Athens in one of the most upmarket districts of the capital and just steps away from restaurants. You'll also find nearby boutiques, museums and a metro station easily accessible on foot.

Pearl of the Sky

Ideally located just an eight-minute walk from the Acropolis of Athens, this beautifully styled apartment puts you in the heart of the city with countless points of historic and cultural interest nearby. 
 
Inside, an elegant cream and ivory palette sets a sophisticated scene in the open-plan living area, with marble floors, an ornate chandelier and carefully chosen ornaments adding to the feeling of luxury. Open up the glass doors here to step out onto a small balcony – the ideal spot to perch with your morning coffee and soak up some early rays. What’s more, you’ve got a second outdoor space accessed via the chic bedroom – a courtyard garden equipped with a lounger, perfect for celebratory sundowners. 
 
Factor in the sleek bathroom with its rainfall shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a comfortable, carefree stay. 
 
When it comes to exploring, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance, including Nymphs Hill (five minutes), the Temple of Hephaestus (six minutes), Areopagus Hill (eight minutes), and Monastiraki Square (thirteen minutes) among many others. 


Athena's Acropolis

Vistas speak louder than words at this showstopping penthouse set in the heart of buzzy Athens. Offering up next-level views of the Acropolis rising majestically above the city, that vast private veranda has sundowners and sunset barbecues written all over it.

Step inside, and you can expect to do some serious drooling at this home's contemporary interiors, united by a sleek, monochrome palette. Boutique-style bedrooms feel as luxurious as the next, with two separate bathrooms to speed things along in the mornings. But it's that free-flowing and light-filled living space with expansive picture windows offering up unobstructed views of the Parthenon that's getting us hot under the collar. Seamlessly designed for socialising, there's a dining area calling out for glamourous dinner parties with a view. While that oh-so-sinkable modular sofa is just the spot to rest up after a day ambling about the city.

When it's time to explore the warren on ancient streets surrounding this home, you've got the best of the city at your feet. 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.

This two-bedroom penthouse offers stunning views of Athens. Landmarks like the Acropolis, Mount Lycabettus, and the Temple of Olympian Zeus are visible from the private balcony, which has space to sit out with a drink and enjoy wonderful sunset views. Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms separated by glass walls, so you'll find privacy somewhat limited. But the main bedroom suite boasts a private living room and a marble Jacuzzi tub. As this home is in a hotel building there are plenty of amenities and extra services, from a private chef to a communal gym and roof garden.
