Experience Plaka's charming, village-like atmosphere from this recently renovated one-bedroom apartment. Your hosts assembled a crack team to oversee the transformation, and their keen eye for detail will appeal to lovers of interior design. Everywhere you look, you'll be greeted by quirky sculptures on shelves and tables, modern art hanging on the walls, and elegant mid-century-inspired furniture. These eye-catching adornments sit alongside original features that date back to the building's construction in the early 1930s. The best way to explore the neighbourhood is to wander its narrow lanes and backstreets, stopping by bustling bars, cafes and restaurants thronging with locals – it's the only real way to discover those under-the-radar establishments that don't make it into the guidebooks. Every once in a while, you'll round a corner and catch a glimpse of the iconic Acropolis between the buildings or stumble across must-see gems such as the Ancient Agora while looking for somewhere to eat lunch. Nowhere in the world do ancient wonders blend so seamlessly with everyday life.
