Listing Description
Epitomizing contemporary style, this two-bedroom apartment is close to the city center but not far from the beach. Facilities include a private balcony, a fully equipped kitchen and living area. With all modern comforts, WIFI, Smart TVs & A/C in all rooms and much more, this is an ideal choice if you are looking to experience Athens at the fullest.
The Space:
Exemplifying contemporary chic, this stylish minimal two-bedroom apartment raises the bar when it comes to indulgent stays in the Greek capital. With plenty of space, it comes with the latest mod cons and a host of tricks up its sleeve. You’ll have a gorgeous private balcony to take advantage of – we bet you’ll love having the espresso you just made in your swanky kitchen there, and later on a couple of drinks alfresco. You’ll certainly also love waking up after a great night’s sleep in top-quality mattresses in your bright and airy bedroom – there are two of them, all beautifully appointed with matching numbers of elegant bathrooms and a guest WC for extra convenience. And what a view! Kallithea – the area’s name – translates to beautiful view and it once housed the holiday residences of wealthy Athenians. The mansions are nowadays gone, giving their place to high rise buildings. But the enviable location has not changed. You’ll be a stone’s throw away from the historic, vibrant area of Koukaki – its eateries, cafes and bars are where locals rendezvous to socialize and play. You’ll also be quite close to the emblems like the Acropolis and Ancient Agora – the city center is some 30 mins on foot or just a short cab, bus or metro ride away. The beaches and the sun kissed lifestyle of the Athenian Riviera are within easy reach too – and so is culture, with the National Museum of Contemporary Art and the Onassis Cultural Center, some minutes away from your base and the stunning Stavros Niarchos Foundation at just 4 km and totally worth your visit.
Whether you are travelling for business or pleasure or a bit of both, this sterling apartment is your go-to choice for an immersive Athens experience, packed with memorable moments.
Included in this apartment, you will find:
- Free high speed wi-fi
- Air-condition in all rooms
- Smart flat TVs Netflix ready in all rooms
- Fully equipped kitchen
- Nespresso coffee maker

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. The location is perfect if you wish to use public transport, the nearest bus stops (Gefyra & Paidiki Hara) are about 5 minutes’ walk away and the nearest metro station (Fix) is at 850 meters.

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.
