This colourful apartment reflects the creative energy of its Koukaki neighbourhood. And with the National Museum of Contemporary Art Αthens (EMST), The Acropolis of Athens and the Temple of Olympian Zeus all within a short walking distance, you can soak up the city’s history within moments of leaving your apartment. Abstract paintings, vibrant artworks, statement walls and bold textiles make this place feels contemporary and cheerful. Spend mornings on the balcony with your new read or reclined on the sofa, mapping the day’s itinerary. If you need to send one last email before signing off from work, the sleek dining table is a great spot for you – this home has you covered. When you’re ready to check out the city sights, you’re right in the city’s cultural hub. Start in one of the energetic cafes for coffee, baklava or honey-soaked Loukoumades. Then pass through Filopapou Park for views of the Acropolis before exploring Plaka's cobblestoned streets and boutiques. For dinner, sample some local cuisine and a selection of locally-produced wines or try the national drink, Ouzo.
