Dinner for Two

Situated in the Thissio area, you're just a short stroll from the Acropolis of Athens, with many of the city's countless historical sights within easy walking distance. The apartment is full of charm and homey touches, but the real showstopper here is the prime location – and no wonder, with so many cultural landmarks to see, you'll barely have time to pour yourself a glass of wine before heading back out.

But, when you do get a chance to enjoy those quiet in between moments, you'll have access to a divine private balcony to sit and relax. We can think of nothing better than balmy late afternoons spent out here, tucking into a bowls of olives, pitta and dips, as you debrief the day.

Feeling rested and raring to go back out, you're a short trip from the old neighbourhood of Plaka, filled with quaint shops, boutiques and eateries for wholesome evening out, soaking up the city's local culture.

Home truths:
*As this is a studio apartment, the bedroom is part of the living space *The kitchen is on the smaller side and so best suited for preparing light meals *The main dining table is out on the balcony – fortunately you can rely on the weather here *The entire apartment is air-conditioned – all doors and windows will need to be closed in order for it to work *As you're in a wonderfully central location, you may hear some street noise *The building's entrance is shared with the other residents *We recommend skipping the car and using Athens' public transport instead *Your host may be able to accommodate flexible check-in and check-out times
