Art & Muse

Art & Muse: Attica

Sitting at the foot of the Acropolis, the neighbourhood of Plaka is brimming with the cultural depth and warmth of Athens.

Wander along the cobblestone streets and you’ll find this apartment located in a Neoclassical building dating back to the 1930s. And while the exterior sings with tradition, the interior provides all the comfort of a contemporary sanctuary.

From the minimalist furnishings and open plan design to the snug bedrooms and little balcony, there’s everything you could need for a restorative stay in the city. Watch the sunrise with a coffee on the shared terrace, take a long soak in the bath and gather for delicious Greek meals around the table. Wherever you are in this home, it’s the kind of space that brings ease and comfort to city living.

Days can be spent strolling the central streets, admiring the architecture as you wind your way towards the Acropolis (just seven minutes away). Soak up the atmosphere from a nearby taverna, browse tiny shops filled with handcrafted ceramics and savour the magic of live music as the sun sets across this special neighbourhood.
