Positioned just a thirteen-minute stroll from the Athenian Acropolis and even closer to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, this home's location alone is enough reason for us to praise it to the skies. You'll find it in the laid-back Koukaki-Makrigianni neighbourhood, surrounded by bakeries, shops and family-owned tavernas, and within walking distance of the city's most famous sights. The interior is stylish and welcoming, cloaked in warm neutral tones. With an abundance of contemporary comforts, including a fully-equipped kitchen, plush seating and a high-definition TV, the open-plan living space beckons you to unwind. We especially love the furnished balcony. After a restful slumber, spend mornings perched here, sipping your coffee in the sunshine before slipping out to explore. Enjoy a morning stroll through the National Garden, thirteen minutes from your doorstep on foot, or take a seventeen-minute drive to the coast and spend a leisurely day on the white sands of Kalamaki Beach.
