Ideally located just an eight-minute walk from the Acropolis of Athens, this beautifully styled apartment puts you in the heart of the city with countless points of historic and cultural interest nearby. Inside, an elegant cream and ivory palette sets a sophisticated scene in the open-plan living area, with marble floors, an ornate chandelier and carefully chosen ornaments adding to the feeling of luxury. Open up the glass doors here to step out onto a small balcony – the ideal spot to perch with your morning coffee and soak up some early rays. What’s more, you’ve got a second outdoor space accessed via the chic bedroom – a courtyard garden equipped with a lounger, perfect for celebratory sundowners. Factor in the sleek bathroom with its rainfall shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a comfortable, carefree stay. When it comes to exploring, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance, including Nymphs Hill (five minutes), the Temple of Hephaestus (six minutes), Areopagus Hill (eight minutes), and Monastiraki Square (thirteen minutes) among many others.

Home truths

    This home is on the ground floor of the building

    At capacity, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room – this will be at the expense of lounge space, however, so we think this home is better suited to two adults

    As you're in a wonderfully central location, you may hear some street noise

    There's a laptop-friendly workspace

    The building's entrance is shared with the other residents

    Self-check-in is available

    We recommend skipping the car and using Athens' public transport instead – Thēseio station is a five-minute walk away
