The Athenian Wave

The Athenian Wave: Attica

Take in the views of the Kallithea neighbourhood and the Aegean Sea from this apartment's balcony. As you can see from the photos, it also overlooks a railway line, so you'll hear some noise here. You can also enjoy the vistas from the large floor-to-ceiling windows – this place is light and bright. The kitchenette is quite compact, but it has all you need for creating a Greek meze, or there are plenty of eateries nearby if you don't fancy eating in. The beach is within walking distance, as is Stavros Niarchos Park's cultural centre. Bear in mind, though, if you want to visit Athens and its landmarks, you'll need to hop on public transport or hire a car.

Home truths:
*The kitchen doesn't have much food preparation space, but it's well-equipped with an oven and hob.
*This home is near a railway, so expect to hear some noise from passing trains.
*There's free street parking available in the area.
