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.

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.

This apartment’s location is an idyllic base from which to explore the city, and its stylistic aesthetic is the ideal restorative base. 

With clean finishes, from the soft palette of cool greys and whites to the thoughtful choice of contemporary elements - think sleek wooden floors and modern artworks - this feels like a considered home. Spend your mornings with your new read or drinking coffee on the plush armchair, or if you need to send one last email before signing off from work, the breakfast bar is a perfect space to do so - this home has you covered. 

When you’re ready to check out the city sights, you’re right in the Athenian cultural hub - named ‘Little Paris’ back in the 1980s, neoclassical buildings have been transformed into independent boutiques and eateries. Next, pass through Filopapou park to visit the historic Acropolis and its museum before exploring the cobblestoned streets of Plaka. When you’re ready to grab a bite, Geros tou Moria will indulge you with traditional Greek dishes accompanied by an energetic ambience. What better way than to end your day with a warm-hazed walk back to your central space, it’s just ten minutes away. Submerge yourself under the soft sheets with the hum of the city just outside.

Acropolis Oasis

Welcome Hamper

This modern apartment is an ideal base in the historic centre of Athens. It’s a great choice for friends or family, as everyone can enjoy their own space but still come together in the communal spaces. It’s a simple, clean and comfortable home-from-home, with everything you might need during your city break. Best of all, you’re in the heart of the city – the Parthenon is just 450 metres away, and you need only walk 550 metres to admire the Acropolis. There’s also a metro station just a few steps away, so getting around is as easy as can be. 

The Historic Haven

Positioned just a thirteen-minute stroll from the Athenian Acropolis and even closer to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, this home's location alone is enough reason for us to praise it to the skies. You'll find it in the laid-back Koukaki-Makrigianni neighbourhood, surrounded by bakeries, shops and family-owned tavernas, and within walking distance of the city's most famous sights.

The interior is stylish and welcoming, cloaked in warm neutral tones. With an abundance of contemporary comforts, including a fully-equipped kitchen, plush seating and a high-definition TV, the open-plan living space beckons you to unwind. We especially love the furnished balcony. After a restful slumber, spend mornings perched here, sipping your coffee in the sunshine before slipping out to explore. Enjoy a morning stroll through the National Garden, thirteen minutes from your doorstep on foot, or take a seventeen-minute drive to the coast and spend a leisurely day on the white sands of Kalamaki Beach.

Little Odyssey

This gorgeous and well-lit apartment is in a fantastic central spot in Athens. You'll be within walking distance of a historic landmark, as well as a wide variety of cafes and restaurants full of local Greek delicacies. The interior has a delightfully bright colour pallette, complete with a balcony that allows you to sip on a glass of bubbly under the blue skies and sun – enjoy your breakfast out here every morning with an energising cup of coffee. 

Relax under the duvet while you watch a movie in bed as the sunlight pours in through the balcony door, or sit with your loved ones in the living room to watch the latest Netflix documentary. Bathe in the refreshing shower before heading out to explore more of Athens.

A short walk takes you to the nearby Acropolis Museum – perfect for the history buffs. Discover the history of the city followed by popping into the cafe for a light bite and a cuppa. Walk through the charming streets of Athens to see what hidden gems you can find, and spot the verdant features sprinkled across the buildings.

Peach Sunset

On the edge of the Koukaki neighbourhood with the Acropolis beckoning in the distance, this penthouse apartment transports you to the vibrant heart of Athens. And while the streets are brimming with the creative spirit of the city, this home provides a welcoming sanctuary – a simple space to unwind, rest and enjoy the views across the skyline. 

Inside, you’ll find the owners have created the perfect setting for laid-back gatherings. From the minimalist furnishings and cool grey tones to the open-plan design, it’s easy to settle in and make this space your own. 

Wake up early and watch the city come to life from the balcony, relax in the air-conditioned bedrooms and gather for Greek-inspired meals around the table. And when you’re refreshed and ready to explore, you’ll find the ancient sights, bustling restaurants, cafes and bars on your doorstep. 

Take the ten-minute stroll to the Acropolis, savour the atmosphere from a traditional taverna and watch the sunset from Philopappos Hill. Wherever the day takes you, this is a wonderful spot to connect with the authentic heart of Athens. 

Apollo Sun

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.
