Tucked away in Athens' lively Koukaki neighbourhood, this sun-dappled flat meets all the demands of a seasoned traveller, be it a rainfall shower, separate desk space or Netflix on the flatscreen. We adore the bright, cosy and laid-back living space – after a long day exploring, there's nothing better than sinking into the plush sofa and unwinding with a glass of Greek wine and a chilled-out movie night. Fancy showing off your culinary prowess? The sleek kitchen is well-equipped for rustling up feasts fit for the gods. Or, better still, dine alfresco on the private balcony and soak up the magical Athens atmosphere and hilltop views. Location-wise, you'll find a bevvy of taverns, restaurants and shops within walking distance, so you won't have to travel far for late-night eats, local farmers' markets or sweet bakery treats. Philopappos Hill, home to archaeological marvels like The Prison of Socrates and Philopappos Monument, is an easy ten-minute stroll, while The Acropolis is just thirteen minutes away on foot – ideal for history buffs and those wanting to do a little sightseeing.
