It’s difficult to beat this home’s location in Athens’ ancient Plaka neighbourhood. Nearby to countless historic sights – including the Acropolis of Athens and Monastiraki Square – you’ll have the capital’s culture and history on your doorstep all while enjoying a comfortable stay.

Inside the apartment, calm neutral colours set an inviting scene in the open-plan living area where a large sofa invites you to kick back and relax after a busy day of sightseeing. The sleek kitchen area is perfect for whipping up Greek snacks when you’re not out sampling the local restaurants, while the building’s communal terrace with its Acropolis views provides the ideal setting for a sunset drink.

At the end of a long day of exploring, you’ll have the two pared-back bedrooms to retreat to for a restful night’s sleep, sure to leave you rested and raring to go for another day of Athenian adventure.
