You couldn’t be better placed to explore the cultural and historic delights of Athens than this bright, modern apartment located in the city’s Koukaki neighbourhood. Dazzling white walls adorned with art prints, wood floors and contemporary decor combine to create a welcoming impression in the open-plan living area. Ample natural light pours in through the glass doors that lead out onto a balcony. Start mornings here with a fresh cup of Greek coffee or enjoy a glass of ouzo as you people-watch from above before setting out to sample one of the local restaurants for dinner. With a sleek, pared-back bedroom and a rainfall shower to boot, you’ve got everything needed to enjoy city living in style.

When you’re ready to venture out for some sightseeing, you’ll find plenty to see and do within easy reach. Visit the Acropolis Museum and the Acropolis of Athens, make a beeline for the Philopappos Monument and spend a few hours admiring the works on display at the National Museum of Contemporary Art. With Plaka a ten-minute walk away too, not to mention the Metro station just a couple of minutes on foot from your door, the Greek capital’s your oyster from this central base.
