The Space:
A prime blend of place and space, this sleek and stylish two-bedroom apartment in Kallithea, combines top tier facilities and convenient location - close to the city center but not far from the beach.

And when you’re not out and about discovering the emblems and the hidden gems, you’ll find plenty to keep you happily occupied in your building. Blow off some steam with a brisk workout at the shared, state-of-the-art gym and then enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool or jacuzzi at the roof top – it comes with panoramic vistas, you’ll surely appreciate. And if you opt to retreat to your private quarters, you’ll find all the relaxation and comfort you need there too. Have an alfresco drink at your sizeable balcony high on the 5th floor; make yourselves comfortable at the couch; watch a movie on the big smart TV in the living room – there are also sets in each one of the two bright and airy bedrooms; or use your sleek fully equipped kitchen to concoct a homestyle meal which you’ll share with friends and family over the dining table. Hit the shower – both bathrooms sport powerful rain heads, and there is even a guest WC for extra convenience – before bedtime or before going out again. The historical neighborhood of Koukaki is just around the corner and it’s buzzing with life, authenticity and prime options for wining, dining and dancing. And if you’re interested in culture, the National Museum of Contemporary Art, the Onassis Cultural Center and the stunning Stavros Niarchos Foundation are in close proximity and bound to be featuring something cool no matter the season.

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.
