It doesn’t get much closer than this – the Acropolis is practically on your doorstep. Set in Tsokri Square, you’re right in the heart of Athens, with ancient landmarks, cafes and that unmistakable city buzz just steps away. Inside, it’s a simple, comfortable base with a balcony for morning coffee or a glass of wine under the Athenian sky. It has all you need to unwind after a day of sightseeing – though the kitchen is on the smaller side (not that you’ll need it, with some of the city’s best restaurants nearby). Here for the sights? The Acropolis and Parthenon are an eight-minute stroll, and the metro is just two minutes from your door for exploring further afield.

Home truths
At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
Daily housekeeping is included.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.

If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
This home is short on wardrobe space, so we'd recommend packing light.
