Mersini

Holiday Rental Description

Located on the edge of Athens’ hip Petralona neighbourhood, this bright apartment offers an ideal base for those looking for a comfortable stay away from the tourist crowds, yet still within easy reach of the city’s most famous sights.

Inside, a light, neutral palette instantly sets a soothing scene in the open-plan living area where a plump window-facing sofa invites you to kick back and relax. Open the glass doors here to step out onto a private balcony – the perfect spot to begin mornings over coffee and end evenings with a celebratory glass of Ouzo.

The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are stylish havens of rest you’ll relish retreating to at the end of the night, boasting beautifully dressed beds with high-quality linens and a desk in one should you need to catch up on work. Factor in the sleek bathroom with its luxurious rainfall shower and you’ve got everything you need for a carefree city stay.

When it comes to sightseeing, discover the many old-school tavernas and cool bars in your neighbourhood, or go for a stroll through Philopappos Hill, a fourteen-minute walk away. You’re also a twenty-three-minute walk from Nymphs Hill, a nine-minute stroll from the Athens Heart Mall, while the iconic Acropolis is just under thirty minutes away on foot.
