With Monastiraki a three-minute walk away and the Acropolis looming against the skyline, there’s no denying that this apartment is in the very centre of Athens. If you’re not hitting the pavement bars of the nearby Plaka neighbourhood, you can take your evening tipple on one of two balconies. Our choice will always be the one overlooking the city’s most famous landmark. There are some quirky touches to the open-plan living area – an old-school jukebox and a library of books. Plus, there’s a dedicated office room should you wish to work remotely. But it’s the Acropolis view from the big windows that really caught our eye.

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.
