As soon as we saw this home, we could tell that the host is an architect – it's a design lover's dream. Let's start with the outdoor space – it's fantastic. There are a couple of balconies with cityscape outlooks on one side and sunset views on the other, while the roof terrace is perfect for cocktails. We love the vistas that stretch from the Acropolis to the hills of Athens. Inside, double-height ceilings, concrete finishes, a modern steel staircase and wooden floors are softened with powder blue and pink furnishings, as well as lots of tropical plants and orchids. Large windows allow light to flood in – the living space is wonderful. Relax on the comfy sofa and read one of the design or guidebooks here. Located in Gazi, a pedestrian cobblestone path starts just around the corner from this home and leads all the way to the old neighbourhood of Plaka, which sits below the Acropolis. Or head to the nearby Gazi Technopolis, a cultural centre within a former gasworks, which hosts concerts and exhibitions.

About Athens
It’s impossible to miss the Parthenon in Athens, rising up over the city and illuminated at night. For most, these preserved columned ruins are the epitome of the ancient world. In the narrow streets of the city, you’ll find Byzantine churches, adorned with ancient mosaics, tucked in between street food restaurants serving gyros wraps and bakeries serving spanakopita.
