Leucothea

Holiday Rental Description

You couldn’t be better placed to explore the cultural and historic delights of Athens than this bright, modern apartment located in the city’s Koukaki neighbourhood. Dazzling white walls adorned with art prints, wood floors and contemporary decor combine to create a welcoming impression in the open-plan living area. Ample natural light pours in through the glass doors that lead out onto a balcony. Start mornings here with a fresh cup of Greek coffee or enjoy a glass of ouzo as you people-watch from above before setting out to sample one of the local restaurants for dinner. With a sleek, pared-back bedroom and a rainfall shower to boot, you’ve got everything needed to enjoy city living in style.

When you’re ready to venture out for some sightseeing, you’ll find plenty to see and do within easy reach. Visit the Acropolis Museum and the Acropolis of Athens, make a beeline for the Philopappos Monument and spend a few hours admiring the works on display at the National Museum of Contemporary Art. With Plaka a ten-minute walk away too, not to mention the Metro station just a couple of minutes on foot from your door, the Greek capital’s your oyster from this central base.


Home truths:
*There's a lift in the building to access the apartment on the first floor *A high chair is available on request *Given the home's central location, some street noise is to be expected *There's no desk here, but the dining table can double up as a laptop-friendly workspace if needed *The building's entrance is shared with the other residents *We recommend skipping the car here and exploring Athens on foot or by public transport instead *The home is a two-minute walk from the Syggrou Metro station *The communal areas of this building, like the hallway and lift, might appear a little worn and dated in parts
