Apollo Sun

On the edge of the Koukaki neighbourhood with the Acropolis beckoning in the distance, this penthouse apartment transports you to the vibrant heart of Athens. And while the streets are brimming with the creative spirit of the city, this home provides a welcoming sanctuary – a simple space to unwind, rest and enjoy the views across the skyline.

Inside, you’ll find the owners have created the perfect setting for laid-back gatherings. From the minimalist furnishings and cool grey tones to the open-plan design, it’s easy to settle in and make this space your own.

Wake up early and watch the city come to life from the balcony, relax in the air-conditioned bedrooms and gather for Greek-inspired meals around the table. And when you’re refreshed and ready to explore, you’ll find the ancient sights, bustling restaurants, cafes and bars on your doorstep.

Take the ten-minute stroll to the Acropolis, savour the atmosphere from a traditional taverna and watch the sunset from Philopappos Hill. Wherever the day takes you, this is a wonderful spot to connect with the authentic heart of Athens.
