With Marina Zeas right on your doorstep, this stylish apartment in Piraeus allows for yacht-watching and seafront promenades aplenty, as well as offering a comfortable base to call home. We love the colourful details throughout, from the peach-accented statement wall in the living area to the colourful art prints decking the walls and the calming sage green palette of the main bedroom. Perhaps best of all, however, this home comes with a private leafy garden – accessed via the kitchen and bedroom – perfect for enjoying alfresco meals under the shaded awning or catching some rays over a cool drink on the Acapulco chairs. 

When you’re ready to head out for some exploring, walk straight out your door for a stroll around the marina or walk over to nearby Beach Freatida. You’re also perfectly placed for access to Piraeus Port and the Cruise Terminal (a five-minute drive), while Athens’ centre is easily reachable by car or public transport.

Gaze at the sailing boats and luxury yachts amidst the salty seaside atmosphere. Or not head down to Votsalakia beach (only a five-minute stroll away) to stroll along the lively promenade or have an alfresco meal in the sunshine. 

Inside the apartment, chic and stylish bohemian style designs create a truly relaxing space to chill after a day of discovering the sights of Athens.

This studio apartment on the Port of Piraeus is ideal for a coastal break to Athens. Though a small family could be accommodated here, thanks to the double sofa bed, we think it's best for a couple or even a solo traveller. The kitchen is best suited to lighter bites, but you’ll find plenty of restaurants on your doorstep – plus there’s a balcony for sipping sundowners. Location-wise, you'll find the Archaeological Museum of Piraeus nearby, while Freatida and Votsalakia beaches can be reached by bus.

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.

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.

A stay at this cosy studio apartment will afford you just that – thanks to the huge private terrace, you’ll be able to enjoy the iconic view any time you like. 

While space is certainly compact here, the place exudes warmth and comfort thanks to the modern decor and streams of natural light flooding in through the large windows. The comfortable bed invites you for nights of sweet dreams, while the well-equipped kitchen is perfect for rustling up quick and easy snacks and late-night suppers which can be savoured out on the terrace. 

Ideal as a base for a romantic getaway or for a solo traveller, this pad’s location could hardly be any more convenient – outside your front door, you’ll find yourself just moments away from the entrance to the Acropolis Museum, as well as the Metro station. Step outside and take your pick, whichever direction you choose, there’ll be wonders awaiting. 

The Rooftop of the Gods 

Just take a look at the Acropolis views from this apartment's balcony and you'll see why it caught our attention. There are also vistas from inside, and there's access to the balcony from one of the bedrooms – name a better way to wake up each morning. The kitchen is galley style, relatively compact and somewhat dated, but it has everything you need. And, of course, you'll be located in the heart of Athens in one of the most upmarket districts of the capital and just steps away from restaurants. You'll also find nearby boutiques, museums and a metro station easily accessible on foot.

Pearl of the Sky

Dressed in beautiful earthy tones and boasting a singularly bohemian touch, this bright apartment in Athens’ Neos Kosmos neighbourhood offers a central, stylish stay in the city. 
 
From its wood floors to its rattan rug and leafy houseplants, there’s a feeling of warmth to the home’s carefully curated decor that feels instantly welcoming. We love how much natural light fills the open-plan living area, thanks to the glass doors that lead out onto a private balcony. Sit here each morning with your cup of coffee while taking in views over the neighbourhood’s rooftops, or gather at sunset for an alfresco sundowner before enjoying a meal around the dining table for an at-home feast. 
 
The two bedrooms, too, are just as chic with their luxuriously dressed beds and balcony access, while the bathroom’s rainfall shower and whirlpool tub offer the perfect relaxing bookends for any day. 
 
When it comes to exploring nearby, head to the Temple of Olympian Zeus – a thirteen-minute walk – or make a beeline for the famous Acropolis of Athens, a seventeen-minute stroll away. You’re also a fifteen-minute walk from both Hadrian's Arch and Philopappos Hill, while Monastiraki Square is twenty-six minutes on foot from your door. 

Dawn of Gaia 

Jacuzzi

With a Jacuzzi and balcony offering breathtaking views of the Acropolis, it's no surprise this apartment caught our eye. It's not the biggest pad – two guests will sleep on a sofa bed, and the kitchenette is quite small – but the stylish finish and sensational scenery make up for that. The location is fantastic, too. You'll find it in the historic quarter of Monastiraki, a fifteen-minute walk from the city's most iconic landmarks and close to a bevvy of shops and restaurants.

Athena's Outlook

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.
