In the heart of Athens, this apartment makes for a superb base for exploring the city. The Syntagma metro station is just 600 metres away, but most of Athens’ main attractions are within easy walking distance, including the Temple of Olympian Zeus – it’s 1.2 kilometres away. It’s in one of the most prestigious parts of Athens, Kolonaki, surrounded by top-notch boutiques and eateries. Best of all, this sophisticated apartment has a balcony where you can admire the panoramic city views. There’s even room for sun loungers and an alfresco dining table. A city break with outside space – you get the best of both worlds.
