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.

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.

Wow, wow, wow was all we could say when we saw the incredible views of the Acropolis from both this home's living space and terrace. They are fantastic any time of day, but we particularly love the vistas at sunset and then as dark approaches when Greece's most famous monument is all lit up. It’s a divine spot for a glass of wine.

If the weather turns chilly, head inside and gather around the fire or whip up a Greek meze in the modern kitchen. We could tell when we visited that this home has undergone a thoughtful renovation by your hosts.

Located in Plaka, there are plenty of tavernas, bars and shops nearby to enjoy. Or visit the Acropolis Museum, around a fifteen-minute walk away.

Luxury Bedding

Just a stone's throw from the captivating Acropolis, with views of the majestic ancient ruins and historic landmarks that sit on the rocky outcrop above Greece's capital, this charming apartment welcomes you to immerse yourself in the rich culture of Athens. 

With balcony views showcasing the Parthenon temple in all its glory, there's only one place to sip your morning coffee. After a leisurely breakfast, it's time to get up close and personal – ascend the steps to take a tour of the ancient buildings that were once home to Greek royalty. Exploring ancient civilisations is thirsty work, and lucky for you, there are plenty of pit stops around Athens. Stop by one of the many picturesque cafes in Plaka for a refreshing drink and homemade snack. 

After a day of uncovering the secrets of Ancient Greece, head home, draw a bubble bath and get ready for dinner. Try your hand at cooking some local delicacies yourself in the kitchen and eat in front of the fireplace, or find a local restaurant serving souvlaki – either way, you won't regret it.

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.

Now this is how you do a stay in Athens. From the unfettered panoramas of the ancient Acropolis to the hot tub on the private terrace, you can absorb the unparalleled beauty of this historic city from the comfort of your homestay. 

Wrap-around windows keep the Parthenon firmly in view – keep one eye on the alluring temple as you lap up Greek yoghurt with dollops of honey at the breakfast table or while you’re reclining on the sofa in the evening, a glass of wine in hand. 

When it’s time to embark on a sightseeing adventure, step out into the heady streets and begin with a stroll up to the top of Filopappou Hill, just five minutes from your doorstep. Visit the Prison of Socrates, the Ancient Deme of Koile and Deaf Man’s Cave. Have lunch under the orange trees at raved-about seafood spots, before soaking up the sunshine in the tranquil National Garden.  

Under The Eye of The Parthenon

Located in the residential neighbourhood of Koukaki, this apartment perfectly embodies the beauty of Athens.

The Daphne

Courtyard

Garden

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.

Laundry Supplies

City-break lovers, this one’s for you. You couldn’t ask for a more central location than this sixth-floor apartment right next to Syntagma Square, on one of Athens’ most affluent pedestrian streets. There’s a great city view from the balcony, and while the sofa bed two guests will be sleeping on might not be suitable for long stays, it’s a comfortable and roomy home for such a great setting.

The vistas of the Acropolis, Mount Lycabettus, Temple of Olympian Zeus, and the National Garden from this home are amazing. The apartment comprises two connecting suites featuring separate living rooms, kitchens and dining spaces, so it’s great for guests wanting privacy. Each also has king-size beds, a walk-in wardrobe, an en-suite marble bathroom, stand-alone showers and a Jacuzzi with Acropolis views. One of the suites also has access to a private balcony. The location, of course, is fantastic too. There are an array of restaurants and bars to enjoy, while the Acropolis is within walking distance. What more could you want from a trip to Athens?

A Grecian Haven

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

A soothing palette of earthy hues, alongside bohemian chic styling and design, set the scene for a wonderfully relaxing stay, despite this home's central location in the heart of vibrant Athens. Presenting luxurious finishings throughout the space is an idyllic spot for a couple or small group of friends looking for a homely break that doesn't compromise on comfort or convenience while soaking up the very best of what Athen has to offer. 

Located just a stone's throw away from Koukaki – a sought-after spot in the city due to its proximity to the lively locale of Acropolis and a wealth of bars, restaurants and nightlife – expect a casual and laid-back approach to city living when staying here. And when the days and nights close, feel assured in knowing that a plush bed and a Netflix subscription await your tired feet back at the apartment. 







Sunset Lovers

Fenced Garden

Outdoor Shower

As soon as we saw this home, we could tell that the host is an architect – it's a design lover's dream. Let's start with the outdoor space – it's fantastic. There are a couple of balconies with 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, double-height ceilings, concrete finishes, a modern steel staircase and wooden floors are softened with powder blue and pink furnishings, as well as lots of tropical plants and orchids. Large windows allow light to flood in – the living space is wonderful. Relax on the comfy sofa and read one of the design or guidebooks here.

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

Sitting across from the Acropolis Museum, this apartment is a great fit for those looking to discover the ancient wonders of Athens. Just a two-minute walk from the Acropolis itself, with plenty of restaurants and bars on your doorstep, this location is hard to beat. If you're in town for work, there's a desk in the bedroom for catching up. While at full occupancy it may be a bit of a squeeze, the double sofa bed is also an added bonus. Plus, you've got a private balcony to enjoy – although there's no seating, we still think it's a lovely space to perch with a Greek coffee.

The Athenian Sphinx

When it comes to location, you'd struggle to find an apartment more conveniently located than this one. Nestled right in the heart of Athens, it provides easy access to the ancient city's most famous attractions, and plenty of space to unwind between your sightseeing excursions. 

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. And, when you need to refuel after a long day, you can take your pick from the charming local restaurants serving classic dishes.

Myth & Ritual

Minimalist and beautifully unpretentious, this warming apartment beats in the heart of Athens. An earthy palette and neutral tones create a cosy ambiance, touched with high-quality fittings and modern technology. It's the perfect place to explore this vibrant metropolis. 

To kickstart your day of sightseeing, the iconic landmarks are just moments away. Stroll to the striking beauty of The Acropolis, Temple of Zeus and Syntagma Square in just a matter of minutes. The whole city is blessed with spectacular architecture which takes days to discover. 

If sightseeing isn't your scene, hit the plethora of charming tavernas that shape the city. Share bread and hummus, complemented by the famous Greek yoghurt, or move onto the more hearty dishes of souvlaki. 

After a tiring day in Greece's capital, you can rest easy in the quiet comfort of the apartment. Super-fast wi-fi is perfect for longer stays and the smart TV is equipped with Netflix to keep you entertained in the evenings. 


Minimalist At Heart

Bright, stylish and full of thoughtful details, this homely apartment offers everything you could hope for from an Athenian getaway. Fall in love with the central location, just ten minutes from the ancient Acropolis, and spend your downtime soaking up the sun on the balcony or whipping up Greek-inspired grub in the bright kitchen.

Parquet floors and exposed brick bring a cosy old-time feel to the home, while modernity is achieved through sleek Scandinavian-style furniture and a fresh colour palette. Enjoy quiet evenings curled up on the sofa as your favourite film streams on Netflix, then retire to the restful bedroom after a sip or two of ouzo.

Located in the bustling Koukaki area, this chic pad is within easy reach of the capital's best eateries and must-see historic sights. Stroll into the neighbouring Plaka, one of Athen's most popular spots, and create long-lasting memories among the eclectic cobbled streets.

Brick & Honey

This bright and sunny apartment is in the perfect location for city breaks to Athens. You can stroll to the Acropolis in five minutes, and the incredible Temple of Zeus is six minutes away on foot. From this apartment, the city is walkable, but if you want to give your feet a break you need only walk seven minutes to the Sygrou Fix metro station – from there, the city is yours. 

After spending a day touring around the fascinating archaeological sites and the museums, returning to this apartment feels like a salve. It’s crisp, clean and calm. Despite its central location, it’s not directly above a hectic street so the balcony is a little haven. Sip cold beers while soaking up the last of the day’s sunshine before you head out for dinner. 

You’re right in the thick of things here so you don’t have to travel far for your next great Greek meal. Will you choose a lively bar or a family-run taverna? 


Liquid Gold

Admire the amazing views of Athen’s most famous architectural masterpiece from the living room window in this fabulous apartment in the historic area of Plaka. We could look at those vistas all day, but we had better give you a tour around the rest of the apartment. You’ll find wood-style flooring tiles and contemporary artwork in the open plan living space, while up a few steps, there’s a dedicated workspace with a desk, ideal if you need to catch up on some emails or fancy writing a travel blog. This place is perfect for a family, friends or work colleagues.

When you want to explore what you can see from your window up close, The Acropolis is a short walk away, while there’s an array of bars, tavernas and shops on your doorstep.




Acropolis Wow

For families or groups of friends visiting Athens and hoping to make the most out of their stay in this mythical city, this comfy and centrally located apartment is the perfect base. With plenty of space, contemporary furnishings and an outdoor space offering sweeping views of the Acropolis and the Athens cityscape, this is a rare find. 

Arrive to be greeted by a light-filled open-plan living and dining room, with an abundance of places to kick back and relax after a day of city exploring. You’ll love those cosy evenings on the sofas, inviting you to settle in with a glass of Greek wine and a good movie. You can rustle up delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen and share them with your loved ones at the dining bank. 

For evening drinks, head out onto the balcony, where you can witness the city lights come up before you. This is also a great spot to welcome a new day with breakfast and a cup of freshly brewed coffee in the morning. 
A night of restful sleep will find you in one of the three comfy bedrooms, each offering a lovely ambience and high-quality bedding. Wake up feeling restored and ready for more Athens adventures. 

Outside, you’ll find yourself immersed in history, with all the city’s iconic landmarks within walking distance. There’s also a wide range of fantastic cafes and restaurants in the area, so in case you don’t feel like cooking, you’ll be spoiled for choice. For venturing out further, the city's public transport system is also easily accessible here. 

My Acropolis Views 

With impressive views of Athens’ Acropolis from this penthouse rooftop, you’ll want to spend mornings admiring the architectural remains with coffee and nights under the stars watching the moon illuminate the ancient citadel. 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.

The Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum are just a ten-minute walk or one stop on the Metro, while Philopappos Hill is a fifteen-minute stroll – watch the sun set over the city from here. 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.

This place is the perfect Athenian bolthole for two couples, a family or business professionals.
