Get a ringside seat overlooking the Acropolis while staying at this wonderful home. The views of Greece’s most famous architectural wonder from the roof terrace are astounding – enjoy them from the hot tub with a glass of wine. As the light fades and the garden and the Acropolis become illuminated, this place takes on a truly magical feel – we love it here. 

This freshly renovated apartment, housed in a beautiful 1930s building, is the ideal Greek retreat. Relax on the sunny yellow sofa or get some rest in the plush bedrooms with their velvet bed heads before getting ready in the luxurious marble-clad bathroom for an evening out in Athens.

There are countless restaurants and bars as well as shops on your doorstep. Vibrant Monastiraki, known for its iconic landmarks such as the ruins of Hadrian’s Library and the Ancient Agora, is under a five-minute walk, while The Acropolis is a little further on foot.



Acropolis Paradise

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

Sophisticated yet comfortable, this monochrome abode is an inviting and stylish stay in the heart of Athens. Kick back and relax on the charcoal grey with a cup of coffee as you and your brood hash out plans for the day. Before you embark on your Athenian Adventure, put together a tasty breakfast in the sleek kitchen and enjoy on the bright patio. 

Find a quiet nook to curl up with a book or challenge your loved ones to a game of chess in the serene main bedroom. When you’re ready, take the ten-minute walk to the mighty Acropolis and stand in the presence of the ancient Parthenon. Stroll over to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, five minutes from your doorstep, then soak up the sunshine from the National Garden. Finish the afternoon with a bite to eat in one of the many gourmet restaurants or family-run tavernas that surround your home.

Dionysus

As soon as we saw this home, we could tell that the host is an architect – it's a design lover's dream. Spread across a two-bedroom penthouse and a ground-floor studio, there's plenty of space here to get comfortable. A couple of balconies boast cityscape outlooks on one side and sunset views on the other, while the roof terrace is perfect for cocktails. We love the vistas that stretch from the Acropolis to the hills of Athens. Inside, expect double-height ceilings, concrete finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows, and lots of tropical plants and orchids. Those wanting an extra slice of privacy will enjoy the studio's third bedroom and a small kitchenette.

Located in Gazi, a pedestrian cobblestone path starts just around the corner from this home and leads all the way to the old neighbourhood of Plaka, which sits below the Acropolis. Or head to the nearby Gazi Technopolis, a cultural centre within a former gasworks, which hosts concerts and exhibitions.

Athens Design

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

Located in the residential neighbourhood of Koukaki, this apartment perfectly embodies the beauty of Athens. 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. 

Families and friends will love gathering here – the communal space is designed for socialising, resting and enjoying quality moments together. 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

Explore the iconic Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum from this modern apartment – it's just a ten-minute walk or one stop on the Metro. Set in the desirable neighbourhood of Neos Kosmos – just a fifteen-minute stroll, you'll find Philopappos Hill – the views from this park are incredible. It's the same walking distance to Plaka, with its narrow cobblestone streets lined with shops.

Back at this home, relax on the patio with a glass of wine. Inside, the palette of warm hues is welcoming, and plenty of cushions, throws and plants create a homely vibe. If the Athens air turns chilly, cosy up by the fire on the chaise sofa. When you prefer to eat in, whip up some tzatziki in the blender and enjoy it with some saganaki at your dining table. This home is ideal for two couples, a family or business professionals looking for a sought-after and well-connected address. 


Golden Brown

This apartment in the centre of Athens feels like a rare gem. It’s not often we find a one-bedroom apartment, this central, with a big terrace and its own Jacuzzi. The apartment itself is a vibrant medley of modern artworks and slate-grey furnishings. In monochrome style, the kitchen has everything you need for self-catering. It’s the outside space that really takes the biscuit here – the terrace is shaded by the heat by pristine white awnings and there’s plenty of room on the rattan armchairs for drinks outside. Soak in the bubbling Jacuzzi at the end of a day exploring the ancient sites of Athens. 

Speaking of which, the old-world charm of the Plaka neighbourhood is just a fifteen-minute walk away where narrow cobbled alleyways are home to funky bars and rustic restaurants. The Acropolis is a further five minutes away, the crowning glory of Athens’ ancient history. 

The Ancient Olympian

Ideally located just an eight-minute walk from the Acropolis of Athens, this beautifully styled apartment puts you in the heart of the city with countless points of historic and cultural interest nearby. 
 
Inside, an elegant cream and ivory palette sets a sophisticated scene in the open-plan living area, with marble floors, an ornate chandelier and carefully chosen ornaments adding to the feeling of luxury. Open up the glass doors here to step out onto a small balcony – the ideal spot to perch with your morning coffee and soak up some early rays. What’s more, you’ve got a second outdoor space accessed via the chic bedroom – a courtyard garden equipped with a lounger, perfect for celebratory sundowners. 
 
Factor in the sleek bathroom with its rainfall shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a comfortable, carefree stay. 
 
When it comes to exploring, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance, including Nymphs Hill (five minutes), the Temple of Hephaestus (six minutes), Areopagus Hill (eight minutes), and Monastiraki Square (thirteen minutes) among many others. 


Athena's Acropolis

City-break lovers, this one’s for you. You couldn’t ask for a more central location than this sixth-floor apartment right next to Syntagma Square, on one of Athens’ most affluent pedestrian streets. There’s a great city view from the balcony, and while the sofa bed two guests will be sleeping on might not be suitable for long stays, it’s a comfortable and roomy home for such a great setting. Most importantly, you’re within easy walking distance of all of Athens’ top attractions. 

Eclectic Athens

Minimalist and beautifully unpretentious, this warming apartment beats in the heart of Athens. An earthy palette and neutral tones create a cosy ambiance, touched with high-quality fittings and modern technology. It's the perfect place to explore this vibrant metropolis. 

To kickstart your day of sightseeing, the iconic landmarks are just moments away. Stroll to the striking beauty of The Acropolis, Temple of Zeus and Syntagma Square in just a matter of minutes. The whole city is blessed with spectacular architecture which takes days to discover. 

If sightseeing isn't your scene, hit the plethora of charming tavernas that shape the city. Share bread and hummus, complemented by the famous Greek yoghurt, or move onto the more hearty dishes of souvlaki. 

After a tiring day in Greece's capital, you can rest easy in the quiet comfort of the apartment. Super-fast wi-fi is perfect for longer stays and the smart TV is equipped with Netflix to keep you entertained in the evenings. 


Minimalist At Heart

This modern apartment is the perfect base in Athens. It’s right in the centre of historic Athens, so you’re within easy reach of all the key attractions – the Parthenon is just 450 metres away and the Acropolis Museum is a five-minute walk. In addition to being wonderfully located, the apartment is bright and comfortable. You’ll have a balcony for sipping your morning coffee and a rooftop hot tub to unwind in – the views are incredible.
