The Space:
Experience indulgent living in this sleek and stylish, one bedroom apartment in Kallithea. Situated in the off-center, it’s just a short stroll away from the city’s emblems – like the legendary Acropolis and Plaka. It’s also close, though, to the Athens Riviera with its golden beaches and shiny happy people – which means you can enjoy the best of both worlds. And it doesn’t even stop there. The flat is located in a stunningly revamped building with top-class facilities exclusively for residence use, including amazing vistas – Kallithea after all means beautiful view! Ergo, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to indulge in luxury both in and out of your private accommodations. These come with the latest creature comforts and are characterized by premium contemporary aesthetics. Wake up refreshed and primed for adventure after an optimum night’s sleep; enjoy an invigorating shower in your designer bathroom – there is even a WC, so you won’t have to queue if you’re sharing the apartment with another person; have coffee in your private balcony – there is an espresso maker in the open plan kitchen; and get ready to concoct your plans for the day. If you need to work, there is fast and free WIFI throughout the premises and a big smart TV in all rooms to catch up with the news – or the latest episode in your favorite series.
Head to the vibrant area of Koukaki, that’s literally steps away, to explore a bustling eating and drinking scene; or walk to the verdant hill of Filopapou for panoramic views and a spot of exercise. If you have visited the icons, you can seek culture at the neighboring National Museum of Contemporary Art or the Onassis Cultural Center. The eye-catching Stavros Niarchos Foundation is also some 4 km away from your base – but totally worth the effort. If you’re yearning to combine luxury living with an immersive Athens stay, packed with authentic, local experiences, then make sure to book this gorgeous flat in Kallithea!
Included in this apartment, you will find:
- Free high speed wi-fi

Area Description:
You’ll be situated next to a central avenue with bus connections to all points of interest – including the fabled Athenian Riviera and some of the world’s most important landmarks like the Acropolis. Kallithea – whose name translates to beautiful view – offers proximity to the city center and its manifold attractions, but it’s also quite close to the beach. The surrounding area offers lots of dining and entertainment options, while for those interested in culture the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Onassis Cultural Center and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation are all within easy grasp and there is always something cool going on there. The hip and happening pedestrianized streets of Koukaki are at a stone’s throw too. Take a stroll and discover traditional meze restaurants (tapas), sophisticated Greek dining places, wine and cocktail bars, or grab a cab (or the metro) and head to the downtown to experience everything that it has to offer – great shopping, countless cafes, bars and restaurants and a happy-go-lucky vibe.
Getting around:
The building is located at a stone’s throw from one of Athens’s most central avenues where you can catch a taxi.

About the area
Plaka, nestled at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, is a charming neighborhood that offers a delightful blend of history, culture, and scenic beauty. Known as the "Neighborhood of the Gods," Plaka's labyrinthine streets and neoclassical architecture transport visitors back to a bygone era, making it a must-visit for anyone traveling to Athens.
The area is steeped in history, with landmarks such as the Tower of the Winds, an ancient octagonal clocktower, and the Roman Agora, a reminder of the city's Roman past. The district's proximity to the Acropolis means that visitors can easily combine a visit to this iconic site with a leisurely stroll through Plaka's alleys, where every turn reveals a new piece of history or a stunning view of the city.
Plaka's vibrant atmosphere is complemented by its array of shops, where travelers can find everything from handmade jewelry and traditional Greek crafts to fine art and antiques. The neighborhood is also home to numerous tavernas and cafes, offering the perfect opportunity to sample Greek cuisine or enjoy a cup of coffee while people-watching in a picturesque square.
For those interested in cultural experiences, the Museum of Greek Folk Art and the Jewish Museum of Greece provide insights into the country's rich cultural tapestry. Meanwhile, the restored neoclassical homes, some of which have been converted into small museums or galleries, add to the area's cultural allure.
Despite its popularity, Plaka has managed to retain a sense of tranquility, especially in the evenings when the day-trippers have departed. The neighborhood's winding streets and hidden courtyards become even more enchanting as the sun sets, and the Acropolis is illuminated above, creating a magical backdrop for an evening out.
In addition to its historical and cultural offerings, Plaka is also known for its lush green spaces. The National Garden of Athens is just a short walk away, providing a peaceful escape from the urban environment with its shaded pathways and quiet ponds.
In essence, Plaka is a destination that offers an immersive experience, where the past and present coexist harmoniously. Its combination of historical significance, cultural richness, and enchanting ambiance makes it an unforgettable part of any visit to Athens.
