Arch of Athena

Arch of Athena: Attica

Located in the heart of Athens, this bright penthouse is perfect for a romantic getaway with your significant other. Wake up in the sunlit bedroom with a gorgeous view of the surrounding area, and step onto the terrace to enjoy an energising cup of coffee to get you ready for a day of exploration. This home is situated in the perfect spot for history buffs, as some of the most famous Grecian historic sites are within walking distance. Make sure you've got your camera ready to snap photos of Acropolis – in fact, you've got a view of this citadel from your very own balcony back at home too, the perfect backdrop when enjoying a glass of red.

The central location gives you direct access to delicious local eateries as well as a great choice of shops to browse through. If you plan to stay here for a few days, we recommend visiting the amazing historic museums that are only a walk away from the penthouse. Soak in the culture and beauty of Athens while discovering the archived history of the city.

Return home to relax in front of the candlelit fireplace, or snuggle up on the comfy lounger while watching the sun set behind Acropolis. You'll be surrounded by the silhouettes of the distant mountains every night – pure bliss while you tuck into a homecooked meal on the terrace after an exciting day.
