Now this is how you do a stay in Athens. From the unfettered panoramas of the ancient Acropolis to the hot tub on the private terrace, you can absorb the unparalleled beauty of this historic city from the comfort of your homestay.

Wrap-around windows keep the Parthenon firmly in view – keep one eye on the alluring temple as you lap up Greek yoghurt with dollops of honey at the breakfast table or while you’re reclining on the sofa in the evening, a glass of wine in hand.

When it’s time to embark on a sightseeing adventure, step out into the heady streets and begin with a stroll up to the top of Filopappou Hill, just five minutes from your doorstep. Visit the Prison of Socrates, the Ancient Deme of Koile and Deaf Man’s Cave. Have lunch under the orange trees at raved-about seafood spots, before soaking up the sunshine in the tranquil National Garden.
