This apartment may be modern and newly renovated, but its location is all about the ancient world. You’re meer footsteps from the base of the Acropolis, looking out over Athens from atop a rugged hill. The ruins of the Temple of Olympian Zeus are just behind you and a ten-minute walk has you in the narrow, winding streets of the Plaka neighbourhood for late-night taverna-style food and romantic walks. 

After a day discovering dusty ruins, retreat to your modern haven in the city centre. The rust-red sofa is plush velvet and the surprisingly spacious sleek white kitchen has everything you need for self-catering. Bedrooms are big and bold, with built-in stone beds like the traditional villas of the Cyclades, But the highlight has to be the private balcony, furnished with bistro furniture for a breath of fresh air in the morning. 

Modern Heart

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 

In a neighbourhood that oozes old-school Athens charm, this flat is close to everything this culture-rich city has to offer. You'll be just fifteen minutes on foot from the Acropolis, Philopappos Hill and the National Garden, so if sightseeing is on your to-do list, you couldn't ask for a finer spot to call home. Better still are the Greek tavernas, bakeries and bars that dot this section of the city. On those nights you don't fancy cooking, swing by one of those eateries and enjoy a night on the town – there'll never be a dull moment here.

When you're not out exploring your surroundings, come home to this trendy little flat and unwind in style. Plop down on the sofa after a hike up the Acropolis – with Netflix playing and the air conditioning blasting, you'll feel relaxed in no time. We can't help but swoon over the chic, contemporary design – we particularly like the more natural elements, such as bamboo fixtures, exposed wooden beams and the leafy green plants. 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.

Athenia, With Love 

This sunny duplex apartment is a short walk from the Acropolis – you can even catch a glimpse of it from the fabulous rooftop terrace. Up here, you’ve got views out over the rooftops, best taken in from the warmth of the bubbling hot tub with a glass of something cold. There’s plenty of room for the group to spread out on bean-bag chairs too. 

Inside, a soothing medley of crisp white and slate grey keeps things feeling modern and sunny. We love the tropical feature wall in the living room which adds a pop of colour and vibrance. The compact kitchen with pretty emerald tiles has all the essentials for self-catering and there’s a second outdoor space for dinners on the balcony. That’s if you’re not too busy exploring the meze restaurants of the Plaka, a five-minute walk away. But the real highlight of this apartment is how close it is to the Acropolis, just four minutes on foot to the entrance. 

God of the Sun

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

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

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

If you're visiting Athens to explore, you're in for a treat. This home is just seconds from Agios Ioannis Metro Station and so well-connected to the Parthenon and other parts of the city. Being in the trendy neighbourhood of Neos Kosmos, you're close to the action here, with a wealth of eateries and bars on your doorstep. We weren't bowled away by the design, but the home is perfectly functional. The well-equipped kitchen and especially the small balcony are nice touches – the ideal spot for overlooking the hustle and bustle with a glass of wine.

Into the Kosmos

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.

The Shadow of Athena

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. 

Up a Level

This stylish apartment has a fabulous address in the sought-after neighbourhood of Neos Kosmos. 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. 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.



Athenian Musa

This apartment might be right in the centre of Athens, but it feels a million miles away from the hustle and bustle. It's perfect for small groups, couples, or solo travellers who want a peaceful place to unwind between their adventures in the city. 

Step inside, and you'll be charmed by the soothing colour scheme and use of natural materials, which creates a truly tranquil ambiance. Refuel after your excursions with a delicious homemade meal, cooked in the sleek kitchen, and share your stories around the chic dining table. Afterwards, you can head out to the balcony and relax in the retro egg chair with a glass of Greek wine. Or, in the chillier months, get comfy on the sofa and catch up on your favourite Netflix shows. 

From here, you can stroll over to the Acropolis in just ten minutes, and admire the epic views across Athens. Once you've visited the nearby Theatre of Dionysus and the Temple of Athena, hop on the bus to visit the National Archaeological Museum to learn about ancient Greek culture. And, when you get hungry, there are plenty of family-run eateries in the surrounding streets where you can dine on local favourites.
