Style and practicality go hand in hand at this apartment in upscale Kolonaki. You've got the area's designer boutiques, eclectic eateries and galleries on your doorstep, as well as the nearby funicular railway leading to the summit of Mt. Lycabettus. And while the scenery is undoubtedly better experienced outside this ground-floor home than in, the space is functional, with bedrooms that can be prepared as twins or king sizes to suit your group. It also serves well for those needing to work remotely with your host able to kit the space with an office chair, monitor and scanner alongside the speedy wi-fi.
