Description Blushing Myth: Athina

Centrally located in Athens’ upscale Kolonaki neighbourhood, this modern apartment puts you in a prime position to explore the city’s sights with the Benaki Museum (160 metres away), Syntagma Square (600 metres) and the Acropolis (2 kilometres) within easy reach. The apartment is a little dark for our liking with no external windows in the open-plan living area and the decor is more corporate than characterful which may not be to everyone’s liking. That said, a small balcony is a nice touch, as is the sleek bathroom with its rainfall shower. And with your host able to organise a plethora of concierge services, including tours, spa treatments and yacht charters, you’ve got plenty to keep you occupied during your stay.

Home truths:
*There's lift access to the apartment on the third floor *A cot is available on request *There's a desk space in the bedroom – the breakfast bar can also double up as a laptop-friendly workspace *Given the home's central location, some street noise is to be expected *The main living area doesn't have any windows and is quite dark without natural light *The kitchenette is compact and better suited to light bites *There's a small balcony here *The building's entrance is shared with the other residents *We recommend skipping the car here and exploring Athens on foot or by public transport instead
