Perched on the third floor, this chic penthouse apartment is the epitome of refinement and style. As soon as you step inside, you'll be greeted by an open-plan living area, which boasts floor-to-ceiling windows that let in an abundance of natural light, illuminating the space with a warm and inviting glow. In addition, the living area opens up to an expansive balcony, offering breathtaking views over the Athenian Riviera.

The kitchen is compact, yet it offers all the equipment you'll need for a self-sufficient stay. Elsewhere, three monochrome bedrooms offer sanctuaries of calm to return to at the end of a day of sun, sea and sand. The main bedroom even comes with an envy-inducing en-suite for a spa-like experience.

Step outside, and you'll soon discover that the location of the apartment is truly one of its finest features. Just a short stroll from a waterside promenade and a ten-minute walk from the centre of Glyfada – the glamorous gateway to the Athens Riviera – you're surrounded by some of the most fashionable boutiques, high-end restaurants, and trendy cafes that Athens has to offer. 

Glyfada Glam

Just 100 metres from sandy Glyfada beach, this beachfront apartment showcases contemporary minimalistic designs that create a calming space to unwind by the sea. The luxurious feel across the space, alongside the laid-back vibe and beachy lifestyle of the Athenian Riviera, create the perfect setting for a relaxing break. 

Soak up the Aegean Sea views from the deck featuring an outdoor lounge area, sunbeds, a barbecue and an alfresco dining spot. When you're not lounging on the beach, this private haven will allow you to chill out in your own secluded corner. After dinner, head down to the beachfront to watch the sunset with a cold beer in hand – there's nothing quite like ending the day with the waves gently lapping into the shore before you. You'll also find a promenade trail right in front of the apartment that continues alongside the sea – offering the best route in Athens for running and cycling. 

On the Athenian Riviera, Glyfada invites you to calm your senses with scenic strolls to the harbour, where luxury yachts sail by and stylish shops, bars, and restaurants embody the art of living. From here, you'll also be just a fifteen-minute drive from the stunning hidden wonderland of Lake Vouliagmeni.






Mind Over Matter 

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

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

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

A soothing palette of earthy hues, alongside bohemian chic styling and design, set the scene for a wonderfully relaxing stay, despite this home's central location in the heart of vibrant Athens. Presenting luxurious finishings throughout the space is an idyllic spot for a couple or small group of friends looking for a homely break that doesn't compromise on comfort or convenience while soaking up the very best of what Athen has to offer. 

Located just a stone's throw away from Koukaki – a sought-after spot in the city due to its proximity to the lively locale of Acropolis and a wealth of bars, restaurants and nightlife – expect a casual and laid-back approach to city living when staying here. And when the days and nights close, feel assured in knowing that a plush bed and a Netflix subscription await your tired feet back at the apartment. 







Sunset Lovers

Start your day with breakfast in the restaurant opposite this suite (it's handy as there's no kitchen at this smart studio). Then relax on the daybed in the window or the designer armchair for a while and plan your day. We have to say we love the sumptuous bathroom with its floor-to-ceiling shiny black marble. There's a desk, too, if you need to catch up on work.

Situated on the 2nd floor of a shopping centre in the heart of the upscale Athenian coastal suburb of Glyfada, you'll find a range of boutiques and art galleries literally on your doorstep. The area's real highlight for us is the warm golden sands of Glyfada beach, 400 metres from this apartment. There's a tennis court the same distance away, as well as a kid's play area too. On top of this, a tram station opposite offers a scenic journey into central Athens in forty minutes (or grab a taxi which takes around twenty minutes – the taxi rank is around the corner).




Premium Athenian 

Soak up the Athenian Riviera with this luxurious apartment suite as your base. Located only 400 metres from Glyfada Beach and just minutes from the town's centre's restaurants, bars, and shops, you'll have convenience at your fingertips here. 

Dressed in sumptuous designs that maximise space and natural daylight, drawing the curtains as you wake up each day will remind you of your sunny Greek location in no time. Meanwhile, bespoke fittings and an emerald green colour scheme will make you feel like you're staying in a five-star hotel, but with the added benefit of having your own private kitchen and living area facilities. You'll also find a workstation, should you need to set up a laptop and tend to business. 

Formed as two separate suites, conjoined in harmony, it offers the perfect getaway to two couples or a group of friends looking to enjoy some rest and relaxation together, with the option of enjoying their own privacy too. 

Situated on the Athenian Riviera, around a fifteen-minute drive from the apartment, is the stunning hidden gem of Lake Vouliagmeni. Here, you'll find its beautiful natural landscape, with a rare geological formation and gorgeous thermal spa in a setting of luscious greenery. Bliss. 

Suite Dreams

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

Vistas speak louder than words at this showstopping penthouse set in the heart of buzzy Athens. Offering up next-level views of the Acropolis rising majestically above the city, that vast private veranda has sundowners and sunset barbecues written all over it.

Step inside, and you can expect to do some serious drooling at this home's contemporary interiors, united by a sleek, monochrome palette. Boutique-style bedrooms feel as luxurious as the next, with two separate bathrooms to speed things along in the mornings. But it's that free-flowing and light-filled living space with expansive picture windows offering up unobstructed views of the Parthenon that's getting us hot under the collar. Seamlessly designed for socialising, there's a dining area calling out for glamourous dinner parties with a view. While that oh-so-sinkable modular sofa is just the spot to rest up after a day ambling about the city.

When it's time to explore the warren on ancient streets surrounding this home, you've got the best of the city at your feet. Soak up the vibes of the happening Koukaki quarter with its shady outside cafes and bustling bars. Blaze a trail to Syntagma Square, the heart of modern Athens. And, of course, there's always the mighty Acropolis. It's all within walking distance of the penthouse, so your only dilemma will be deciding where to head first. 

Up a Level

Tucked away in Athens' lively Koukaki neighbourhood, this sun-dappled flat meets all the demands of a seasoned traveller, be it a rainfall shower, separate desk space or Netflix on the flatscreen. 

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.
