Right in the heart of Athens, this apartment sits two minutes from Syntagma Metro Station – giving you direct links to the airport, Piraeus port, and the rest of the city. Ermou Street is on the doorstep, Syntagma Square's Changing of the Guard is a six-minute walk, and the Acropolis is reachable on foot in seventeen-minutes. Back at the apartment, a semi-private balcony wrapped in tall greenery is a calm retreat from the city buzz below – the kind of spot that makes a slow morning coffee feel like a small luxury.

Home truths

  • At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.

  • One well-behaved, house-trained pet is welcome to join you. Pets should not be left alone in the apartment, and you'll need to bring their own bed or blanket.

  • If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, high chair, and baby monitor. You'll need to request these in advance.

  • The wi-fi here can be patchy – if you're working remotely or planning on streaming, it may not always hold up reliably.

  • The washing machine is in the building lobby rather than inside the apartment itself, so you'll need to head downstairs for laundry.
