Casa Keramos

Settle into local life at this stylish ground-floor apartment, tucked away in Athens' latest culinary and creative hub, Keramikos. In keeping with the laid-back atmosphere of the area, the home is decorated in soothing green and blue hues, with stylish mid-century-inspired furniture and access to a delightful private courtyard garden where you can tuck into coffee and fresh pastries as you plan the day ahead.

Just a short walk from the city's historical centre, Keramikos seems to exist in a world of its own, offering visitors an enticing mix of age-old tradition and bubbling creativity. Nowhere is this more evident than in the innovative restaurants serving up delicious fusion fare right on your doorstep.

Beyond the mouthwatering menus, the apartment is perfectly placed to explore the best of this mythical city, with several of Athens' main sights and the Metaxourghio metro station within easy walking distance. Nearby highlights include the Ancient Agora museum, while the village-like atmosphere of Plaka and the iconic Acropolis are easily accessible by public transport.

*Your host doesn’t accept bookings from groups of young people at this home
