With breathtaking views over the Acropolis and city skyline, this home is a real gem.

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.

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.

Later in the afternoon, head out to the streets to visit the popular Acropolis, an ancient landmark that is a perfect backdrop for those holiday photos. As you walk through the streets of Athens you'll smell a variety of scrumptious scents, from freshly brewed coffee, buttery baked goods, and tasty Greek cuisine. Pop into a cafe to sample Grecian 
desserts such as Baklava and our personal favourite, a slice of Milopita.

Return home as the evening draws in to soak in the outdoor hot tub – the perfect spot to directly watch the sunset. Pour yourself a glass of wine while you watch the birds fly to their nests, as the amber glow in the sky shines.

Back at this home, relax on the private balcony with a glass of Greek wine, surrounded by lush plants. Or unwind inside on the mustard-coloured sofa. If you don't fancy eating out, whip up some tzatziki in the blender in the modern kitchen and enjoy it at your dining table with some souvlaki.

Wander along the cobblestone streets and you’ll find this apartment located in a Neoclassical building dating back to the 1930s. And while the exterior sings with tradition, the interior provides all the comfort of a contemporary sanctuary.

Art & Muse

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.

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

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.

The Pink Iris

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. While the open-plan living space is quite roomy, the kitchen area's work surfaces for food preparation are limited, and the bedroom is fairly compact. 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.

The Apollo's Rest

Situated in the lively Makrigianni neighbourhood, this eclectic studio apartment has Athens’ most iconic sights within easy reach. Inside, it’s fresh and modern thanks to the botanical print wallpaper, earthy colour palette and natural materials.

When you’re ready to explore, the ancient Temple of Olympian Zeus is just a five-minute stroll from your doorstep and the mighty Acropolis is less than fifteen minutes away. Mosey through the National Garden to the Benaki Museum, then head over to the vibrant Psyri district for traditional Greek mezze in a laidback eatery after browsing the artisanal boutiques that line the atmospheric streets.

Myrtle Leaf

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 Greek Light

If you’re looking for a central base from which to explore Athens’ most historic sights, this stylish apartment in the city’s charming Koukaki neighbourhood is an ideal choice.
 
Modern and bright, it offers a design-led decor and ample natural light thanks to its pair of balconies accessed via the living room and bedrooms. Take your pick of these outdoor spots on which to enjoy your morning coffee or celebratory glass of Ouzo, or kick back in the ochre and black living area after a long day of sightseeing.

Athenian Ochre

Free Parking On Premises

A stay at this sleek top-floor apartment places you in a prime position to explore the countless points of interest in the historically and culturally rich Greek capital, Athens. With the Acropolis of Athens, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Philopappos Monument all within a short walking distance, you’ll be fully immersed in the city’s history within moments of leaving your apartment.

Speaking of your apartment, you'll love unwinding in this modern space – the sliding glass walls make this space feel bright, whilst the sleek furnishings are comfortable and stylish. The free-flowing layout makes this space feel like a social sanctuary – there's a large living room to gather as you map out the day’s itinerary, a sleek kitchen for whipping up some tzatziki, olives and briam vegetables, and a rooftop terrace to share your light bites and a glass of Vidiano whilst overlooking the illuminated Acropolis at the golden hour.

And at the end of a sight-packed day, enjoy a warm-hazed walk home – you’ll be ready to sink into the soft sheets of your minimalist bedroom.

Koukaki Calm

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

This bright and sunny apartment is in the perfect location for city breaks to Athens. You can stroll to the Acropolis in five minutes, and the incredible Temple of Zeus is six minutes away on foot. From this apartment, the city is walkable, but if you want to give your feet a break you need only walk seven minutes to the Sygrou Fix metro station – from there, the city is yours. 

After spending a day touring around the fascinating archaeological sites and the museums, returning to this apartment feels like a salve. It’s crisp, clean and calm. Despite its central location, it’s not directly above a hectic street so the balcony is a little haven. 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

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.

Leucothea

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.

Eclectic Athens

It’s difficult to beat this home’s location in Athens’ ancient Plaka neighbourhood. Nearby to countless historic sights – including the Acropolis of Athens and Monastiraki Square – you’ll have the capital’s culture and history on your doorstep all while enjoying a comfortable stay. 

Inside the apartment, calm neutral colours set an inviting scene in the open-plan living area where a large sofa invites you to kick back and relax after a busy day of sightseeing. The sleek kitchen area is perfect for whipping up Greek snacks when you’re not out sampling the local restaurants, while the building’s communal terrace with its Acropolis views provides the ideal setting for a sunset drink. 

At the end of a long day of exploring, you’ll have the two pared-back bedrooms to retreat to for a restful night’s sleep, sure to leave you rested and raring to go for another day of Athenian adventure. 

Athenian Stallion

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

The Psyrri neighbourhood of Athens is full of cute boutiques, quirky characters, and bustling bars. 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. And just a short walk from this ancient square with a 10th-century church at its centre, history evolves into modernity as you arrive at your apartment. 

Fully renovated in 2018, this home offers penthouse-style, luxury living. In contrast to the colourful locale, trendy grey tones are the colour of choice inside. Then glass, matte black, and charcoal-coloured wooden floors create a muted, monochrome colour palette that allows for the main feature to stand out – the view. Step out from this modern, open-plan living space to your private terrace, where a stylish dining area and outdoor hot tub await. 

Serve up olives, bread, and Greek wine on the table before slipping into the bubbling waters with a glass of champagne in hand. The city twinkles for miles ahead of you, and the brightly-lit Acropolis of Athens stands out in this incredible, panoramic scene right on your doorstep.

Inside, an elegant blend of neutral tones and soft burgundys creates a sophisticated impression in the living area. 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. 
 
When you’re ready to turn in, retreat to the beautifully dressed bed for a blissful night’s sleep and wak up to the sleek bathroom with its luxurious rainfall shower – sure to get any day off on the right foot. 
 
As for sightseeing, you’ve got plenty to see and do nearby with the Acropolis of Athens and Philopappos Hill both a twenty-minute walk, the Ancient Agora of Athens a twenty-three-minute stroll and the ​​National Museum of Contemporary Art Αthens twenty-five minutes away on foot.

Located in the residential neighbourhood of Koukaki, this apartment perfectly embodies the beauty of Athens.

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.

If this view doesn’t say Athens, then we don’t know what else will. 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.
