Dionysus

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

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.

Home to Kings

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

Private Pool

Heated Pool

This luxury apartment is truly one of a kind. We love the private mineral water pool, perfect for a cooling swim to start your day. Then enjoy a cup of coffee and some breakfast in the courtyard gravel garden with its pots of grasses waving elegantly in the warm morning breeze.

This freshly renovated home, housed in a beautiful 1930s building, is the perfect Greek retreat. Inside, we love the exposed brick walls and huge Crittal-style windows onto the outdoor space from the kitchen, while the living room has plenty of prints adorning the walls and a modern curved chandelier light. After breakfast, get ready in the gorgeous marble-clad bathroom before heading out to explore Plaka.

There are plenty of eateries, as well as shops, on your doorstep. Or visit vibrant Monastiraki, known for its iconic landmarks such as the ruins of Hadrian’s Library and the Ancient Agora, under a five-minute walk away, while The Acropolis is a little further on foot.
