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.

Acropolis Lights

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

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 sleek apartment is located in the upmarket Kolonaki district of Athens, and it perfectly fits into its chic surroundings. Whether you're visiting alone, as a couple, or with your family, it's the ideal place to call home while you explore the vibrant Greek capital. 

Inside, you'll find a modern living area with parquet flooring and a collection of contemporary furniture – it's a tranquil space that invites you to kick back and relax in style. When you get hungry, you can whip up some tasty dishes in the kitchen to serve in the bright dining area. And, the best feature has to be the private balcony – start your days watching the world go by over an alfresco coffee, and round off each evening with a nightcap in the fresh air. 

The surrounding streets are packed with lively cafés, boutiques, and independent restaurants, where you can immerse yourself in the Athenian way of life. A twenty-five-minute walk will talk you to the iconic Acropolis, where you can visit the Parthenon and admire the epic city views. And, afterwards, you can learn even more at the National Archaeological Museum – it's less than twenty minutes away from your front door. 

True Genius

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

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? Immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of the neighbourhood, known for its connection to Lord Byron's poem about the Maid of Athens. With easy access to all of Athens' sites of interest, including the Hadrian’s Library, Ancient Agora of Athens and the Varvakios Markets, this apartment is perfect for those looking to make a home in the city.

Athenian Spirit

Private balcony, breezy living area, central location – it's no wonder this apartment ticks all of our boxes. Plenty of room to spread out makes this the perfect pad for friends and families. The kitchen is well-equipped for whipping up home-cooked meals, the bedrooms have ample storage space, and the outside area is the cherry on top. You'll be a bit further away from the main tourist attractions if you're looking to explore historic Athens. That said, a metro a few metres away runs straight to Monastiraki, multiple green spaces are within walking distance, and the famous Lycabettus Hill can also be reached on foot.

Athens Embrace

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

In the heart of Athens, this apartment makes for a superb base for exploring the city. The Syntagma metro station is just 600 metres away, but most of Athens’ main attractions are within easy walking distance, including the Temple of Olympian Zeus – it’s 1.2 kilometres away. It’s in one of the most prestigious parts of Athens, Kolonaki, surrounded by top-notch boutiques and eateries. Best of all, this sophisticated apartment has a balcony where you can admire the panoramic city views. There’s even room for sun loungers and an alfresco dining table. A city break with outside space – you get the best of both worlds. 

Athena's View

Earthy tones and a minimalist aesthetic create a welcoming scene in this stylish studio apartment. Located in Athens’ dynamic Kypseli neighbourhood, you’re away from the tourist crowds yet still within easy reach of the city’s touristic centre either on foot or by public transport. 
 
We love the cool orange and black colour contrasts in the home’s decor as well as the leafy houseplants and modern art that add additional decorative flair. The beautifully dressed bed beckons a blissful night’s sleep in its high-quality sheets, while the bathroom’s luxurious rainfall shower is sure to get any day off to a relaxing start. With a sleek kitchenette as well as a chic lounge area too, you’ve got everything you need for a carefree stay. 
 
Outside of your home, you’ll find Pedion tou Areos Park just across the street, the Hellenic Motor Museum a nine-minute stroll, and the National Archaeological Museum is ten minutes away on foot. You're also a thirty-minute walk from the Ancient Agora of Athens and a twenty-minute Metro ride away from the Acropolis of Athens. 


Gaia's Grace

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

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.
