Situated in the historic Plaka neighbourhood, this modern apartment is just 100 metres from the Acropolis Museum. In fact, this home is a short stroll from many landmarks, including the Acropolis and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. So, the location couldn’t be much better, and there are plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants on your doorstep. After a busy day, there’s a private balcony to relax on or unwind in the bright living space, and while the kitchen is fairly compact, it has everything you need to cook some Greek cuisine.
