Housed in a restored walk-up mansion dating back to 1838, this apartment blends modern comforts with old-world charm, including frescoed ceilings, a vintage writing desk and a marble-accented bathroom. Access to a communal roof garden with views of the Acropolis is a definite highlight, and while the kitchenette is on the small side, the home’s central location means you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to restaurants and bars nearby. With Plaka an eight-minute walk and the Acropolis a fifteen-minute stroll, you’re also well placed to get the most out of the city’s sights.
