Garden of the Gods

Holiday Rental Description

Located in Pangrati – a picturesque neighbourhood lined with Cypress trees, marble sculptures, independent galleries and Greek delis – this sky-grazing apartment puts you in a prime position to explore the best of Athen’s history and culture.

This apartment is a botanical oasis that reflects the neighbourhood’s luscious energy. There’s a rooftop garden adorned with tropical plants, whilst walls of windows invite the greenery in. Out here, you can watch the sunrise over the city with a coffee in hand, turn pages of your holiday read from the terrace loungers and share a glass of Greece’s national drink, Ouzo, at the golden hour. We can’t forget the inside here, adorned with contemporary furnishings and modern artwork – this place feels like a hidden city gem.

When you’re ready to check out the city sights, you’re right in the Athenian cultural hub. Start your day at a neighbourhood cafe before admiring the artwork at The National Museum of Contemporary Art. The city’s white marble Kallimarmaro Stadium is nearby. If you want to climb the steps to the Acropolis and admire the former colossal temple, the Olympian Zeus – you’re just a bus ride away.
