Description God of the Sun: Athina

This sunny duplex apartment is a short walk from the Acropolis – you can even catch a glimpse of it from the fabulous rooftop terrace. Up here, you’ve got views out over the rooftops, best taken in from the warmth of the bubbling hot tub with a glass of something cold. There’s plenty of room for the group to spread out on bean-bag chairs too.

Inside, a soothing medley of crisp white and slate grey keeps things feeling modern and sunny. We love the tropical feature wall in the living room which adds a pop of colour and vibrance. The compact kitchen with pretty emerald tiles has all the essentials for self-catering and there’s a second outdoor space for dinners on the balcony. That’s if you’re not too busy exploring the meze restaurants of the Plaka, a five-minute walk away. But the real highlight of this apartment is how close it is to the Acropolis, just four minutes on foot to the entrance.
