With wonderful sea views from the private balcony and stylish living space, this home, situated on the 5th floor, is a bit of a gem.

But the location more than makes up for any little compromises. You’ll be near the coastline of Kallithea and a stone’s throw from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, while Athens is a short drive away.

Nice to haves

Located in Athens’ residential Kallithea neighbourhood, this slick apartment is an ideal base for those looking for a comfortable stay away from the tourist crowds.
 
Dressed in calming shades of blue and ivory, the open-plan living area beckons luxurious lounging on its sectional – a glass of wine in hand – and intimate meals around the elegant dining table when you’re not out sampling the local restaurant scene. 
 
With a stylish bedroom beckoning a dreamy night’s sleep, as well as a Juliet balcony to greet the day while perched with your morning coffee, you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing, carefree stay. 
 
When it comes to sightseeing, walk thirty minutes to explore the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre – home to the Greek National Opera, the National Library of Greece as well as the Stavros Niarchos Park – or hop on the Metro to explore Monastiraki Square, twenty-two minutes away.

We love the panoramic vistas of the local area and the Aegean Sea from this home's balcony. Inside, the kitchen is compact but has everything you probably need to create some meze. We'd say the bedroom is a little on the small side, too. All in all, though, this is a decent base for your Greek adventure. Stavros Niarchos Park is nearby – you'll find a cultural centre and a variety of flora, including olive trees and Greek aromatic plants. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants and shops to enjoy, and the beach is also within walking distance. If you want to visit Athens, it's a ride away, so you'll need to use public transport or hire a car.

The Athenian Merchant

Take in the views of the Kallithea neighbourhood and the Aegean Sea from this apartment's balcony. As you can see from the photos, it also overlooks a railway line, so you'll hear some noise here. You can also enjoy the vistas from the large floor-to-ceiling windows – this place is light and bright. The kitchenette is quite compact, but it has all you need for creating a Greek meze, or there are plenty of eateries nearby if you don't fancy eating in. The beach is within walking distance, as is Stavros Niarchos Park's cultural centre. Bear in mind, though, if you want to visit Athens and its landmarks, you'll need to hop on public transport or hire a car.

We love the fiery red walls in the sleek kitchen, as well as the funky black dining table that beckons sociable soirées when you’re not out sampling the local tavernas. With a pair of comfy bedrooms as well as two bathrooms – one of which has a Jacuzzi bathtub – there’s no end to the relaxation in store. 

When it comes to exploring outside your home, make a beeline for the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center which now houses the National Greek Library, or spend a carefree day at the beach, 2 kilometres away. With bus stops 200 metres away running services into central Athens too, you’re all set for culture and history aplenty.

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

Barbeque

With impressive views of Athens’ Acropolis from this penthouse rooftop, you’ll want to spend mornings admiring the architectural remains with coffee and nights under the stars watching the moon illuminate the ancient citadel. And since it’s only a short walk away, prepare to climb the steps and discover the remains of the high city, Parthenon temple and ancient citadel that dates back to the fourth millennium BC.

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.

With breathtaking views over the Acropolis and city skyline, this home is a real gem. Watch the sunset over the Acropolis with a glass of Greek wine on the private balcony, or head up to the shared roof terrace for the incredible 360-degree vistas of Athens – we could spend hours in either space. Housed in a recently built building, inside you'll find a stylish living space with cool greys and fresh whites. This place is ideal for friends, family or business professionals.

Located in the pretty, artistic neighbourhood of Mets, there are plenty of restaurants and bars on your doorstep. The Panathenaic Stadium, home to the first modern Olympic Games in the 19th-century and made of marble, is a ten-minute walk away or five minutes in the car. If you want to see the Acropolis up close, then it's a ten-minute ride.

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.

Athenian Spirit

Throws

We adore the bright, cosy and laid-back living space – after a long day exploring, there's nothing better than sinking into the plush sofa and unwinding with a glass of Greek wine and a chilled-out movie night. Fancy showing off your culinary prowess? The sleek kitchen is well-equipped for rustling up feasts fit for the gods. Or, better still, dine alfresco on the private balcony and soak up the magical Athens atmosphere and hilltop views. 

Location-wise, you'll find a bevvy of taverns, restaurants and shops within walking distance, so you won't have to travel far for late-night eats, local farmers' markets or sweet bakery treats. Philopappos Hill, home to archaeological marvels like The Prison of Socrates and Philopappos Monument, is an easy ten-minute stroll, while The Acropolis is just thirteen minutes away on foot – ideal for history buffs and those wanting to do a little sightseeing.

A Blaze of Searing Light

Wow, wow, wow was all we could say when we saw the incredible views of the Acropolis from both this home's living space and terrace. They are fantastic any time of day, but we particularly love the vistas at sunset and then as dark approaches when Greece's most famous monument is all lit up. It’s a divine spot for a glass of wine.

If the weather turns chilly, head inside and gather around the fire or whip up a Greek meze in the modern kitchen. We could tell when we visited that this home has undergone a thoughtful renovation by your hosts.

Located in Plaka, there are plenty of tavernas, bars and shops nearby to enjoy. Or visit the Acropolis Museum, around a fifteen-minute walk away.



Acropolis Metropolis

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

Technically two separate apartments, this home dominates the entire second and third floors of a historic building in Athens’ Plaka neighbourhood. Guests here can spread out between four suites, two living rooms (each with a double sofa bed) and two full kitchens. The crowning glory of these apartments has to be the private terrace which looks out to the Acropolis, rising above the city in ancient splendour. A hot tub can soak sore feet after a day exploring the myriad restaurants and bars in the narrow old streets of your Plaka neighbourhood.

The location is unbeatable, there's no denying that. But the icing on the cake is the cool, calm interiors waiting for you back home. Soak up the last of the evening rays on your private patio, sharing a bottle of Greek wine and nibbling on olives as the sun goes down. Inside, cook up a storm in the sleek kitchen, then gather on the sofa for a Netflix movie night – the host's log-in is included with your stay. Finally, when your eyes are getting tired, snuggle up in the sumptuous bedroom and enjoy a restful sleep, waking up refreshed and ready for tomorrow's adventures.

In its maze-like layout, where tiny cobbled streets intermingle with kerbside restaurants and wine spots, you’ll eventually end up at the market of Monastiraki Square.

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.

We love the decorative touches here that create a real sense of elegance – from the textured throw cushions to the rainbow-coloured art on the walls, as well as the simple yet chic furnishings. Open the glass doors to step out onto a private balcony – the ideal place to begin sunny mornings over coffee and end nights with a celebraotry sundowner. And, when you’re not out sampling the local restaurant scene, the dining table back inside beckons intimate soirées over locally-bought produce and wine.

Sip cold beers while soaking up the last of the day’s sunshine before you head out for dinner. 

You’re right in the thick of things here so you don’t have to travel far for your next great Greek meal. Will you choose a lively bar or a family-run taverna? 


Liquid Gold

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

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.
