It’s the kind of space that draws you in with its relaxing tones and elegant styling – inspiring a wonderful sense of lightness and joy. And with its close proximity to the Acropolis, this is the perfect setting to experience the cultural depth and heritage of the city.

And whether you’re preparing your morning coffee in the kitchen, gathering around the table or enjoying a movie night, there’s a calm presence to this home that makes you want to stay. 

Days can be spent strolling through this wonderful neighbourhood – the streets are bustling with cafes, tavernas and shops as well as a weekly market. Filopappou Hill is only a twenty–minute walk away – this is a magical spot to watch the sunset over the city with the locals. 

The Daphne

Hidden away in the heart of Athens, this studio apartment was originally the home of the chieftain Markos Botsaris. With a kitchenette and lack of a living room, this home is best suited to guests who plan on exploring and eating out most days. The cosy private balcony offers a moment of quiet above the city, and a perfect view of the ancient Acropolis of Athens. With all the city's points of interest within easy walking distance, you couldn't ask for a more convenient place to stay.

Verdant Dusk

Few vistas can rival the sight of the majestic Acropolis towering over Athens, and there’s really no beating waking up to glance out of the window and witnessing it in all its splendour. A stay at this cosy studio apartment will afford you just that – thanks to the huge private terrace, you’ll be able to enjoy the iconic view any time you like. 

While space is certainly compact here, the place exudes warmth and comfort thanks to the modern decor and streams of natural light flooding in through the large windows. The comfortable bed invites you for nights of sweet dreams, while the well-equipped kitchen is perfect for rustling up quick and easy snacks and late-night suppers which can be savoured out on the terrace. 

Ideal as a base for a romantic getaway or for a solo traveller, this pad’s location could hardly be any more convenient – outside your front door, you’ll find yourself just moments away from the entrance to the Acropolis Museum, as well as the Metro station. Step outside and take your pick, whichever direction you choose, there’ll be wonders awaiting. 

The Rooftop of the Gods 

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

This colourful apartment reflects the creative energy of its Koukaki neighbourhood. And with the National Museum of Contemporary Art Αthens (EMST), The Acropolis of Athens and the Temple of Olympian Zeus all within a short walking distance, you can soak up the city’s history within moments of leaving your apartment.

Abstract paintings, vibrant artworks, statement walls and bold textiles make this place feels contemporary and cheerful. Spend mornings on the balcony with your new read or reclined on the sofa, mapping the day’s itinerary. If you need to send one last email before signing off from work, the sleek dining table is a great spot for you – this home has you covered.

When you’re ready to check out the city sights, you’re right in the city’s cultural hub. Start in one of the energetic cafes for coffee, baklava or honey-soaked Loukoumades. Then pass through Filopapou Park for views of the Acropolis before exploring Plaka's cobblestoned streets and boutiques. For dinner, sample some local cuisine and a selection of locally-produced wines or try the national drink, Ouzo.

Koukaki Watercolours

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.

Athens Oasis

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 

Sitting at the foot of the Acropolis, the neighbourhood of Plaka is brimming with the cultural depth and warmth of Athens. 

Wander along the cobblestone streets and you’ll find this apartment located in a Neoclassical building dating back to the 1930s. And while the exterior sings with tradition, the interior provides all the comfort of a contemporary sanctuary. 

From the minimalist furnishings and open plan design to the snug bedrooms and little balcony, there’s everything you could need for a restorative stay in the city. Watch the sunrise with a coffee on the shared terrace, take a long soak in the bath and gather for delicious Greek meals around the table. Wherever you are in this home, it’s the kind of space that brings ease and comfort to city living. 

Days can be spent strolling the central streets, admiring the architecture as you wind your way towards the Acropolis (just seven minutes away). Soak up the atmosphere from a nearby taverna, browse tiny shops filled with handcrafted ceramics and savour the magic of live music as the sun sets across this special neighbourhood. 

Art & Muse

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. 

Written in the Constellations

Situated in the lively Makrigianni neighbourhood, this eclectic studio apartment has Athens’ most iconic sights within easy reach. Inside, it’s fresh and modern thanks to the botanical print wallpaper, earthy colour palette and natural materials. Wake up feeling refreshed in the hotel-quality bed and start your mornings with breakfast in the neat kitchen-diner. Finish your morning coffee from the comfort of the loveseat.

When you’re ready to explore, the ancient Temple of Olympian Zeus is just a five-minute stroll from your doorstep and the mighty Acropolis is less than fifteen minutes away. Mosey through the National Garden to the Benaki Museum, then head over to the vibrant Psyri district for traditional Greek mezze in a laidback eatery after browsing the artisanal boutiques that line the atmospheric streets.

Myrtle Leaf

You'll find this charming boutique villa in the lively Koukaki neighbourhood of Athens. Cafes and bars are all nearby, but it's the proximity to sights like the Acropolis that really makes it special. See all the best bits and return home to a minimalist and stylish apartment. Even though three guests will be sleeping in the living spaces, they’re strategically placed to give everyone space and privacy. If you need help planning your itinerary, your host will be more than happy to assist.
