Art of Acropolis

Art of Acropolis: Attica

Among the narrow streets of Athens, located near the back entrance of the Acropolis Museum, this Art Deco-inspired apartment offers the chance to fully immerse yourself in the culture of the Greek capital.

Inside you’ll find a treasure trove of vintage pieces, from the rich herringbone flooring to the piano that’s perfect for keeping any dinner guests entertained. There’s plenty of history to discover away from the apartment, too, with the majestic Acropolis just a stone’s throw away. Spend a day looking at mysterious artefacts that once lived inside the ancient ruins of the citadel.

Be sure to grab a bottle of wine on your way home, which is best enjoyed from the shared roof terrace, which offers views over the Parthenon temple and beyond. When it comes to admiring the scenery, you have multiple spots to choose from – the balcony is the perfect place to enjoy a coffee and gaze upon the typical Athenian houses.

Home truths:

*The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents
*The single beds in bedroom two can be pushed together to form a double
*The roof garden is open from 6pm to 8pm and is shared with the building's other residents – speak to your host to request access
