Considered one of Athens' most beloved (and oldest) neighbourhoods, Plaka is home to leafy, winding streets lined with oodles of delicious restaurants, jewellery stores and local cafes. Buzzing doesn't even begin to describe it – it's a melting pot of heritage and history, where music spills out of taverns and museums are scattered around the neighbourhood. And the best part? You're just a stone's throw from all the major sites – wander over to the Acropolis in fifteen minutes, walk to the Tower of the Winds in the Roman Agora in ten, or grab an alfresco coffee in Syntagma Square, only a four-minute stroll away. This lively neighbourhood is also where you'll find this sweet studio flat. It may be small but it sure has style – vibrant wallpaper decorates the wall behind the sumptuous bed, a compact kitchenette is well-suited to rustling up light bites and an ample desk doubles as a workspace or dining table. That said, our favourite room has to be the utterly lavish bathroom. After a long day, nothing is better than relaxing sore muscles under the spa-style rainfall shower before climbing into bed and catching up on your favourite Netflix shows.
