About this property

Situated within the heart of Kolonaki, the most exclusive residential quarter of Athens, this comfortable 82 m2 apartment, is perfect for a long or short stay in Athens. The location is very convenient as it is close to the metro and also a short walking distance to many attractions. Although the apartment is in the centre of Athens, it is very quiet. It is decorated with the owner's exclusive artwork, and has everything you will need to feel at home. The kitchen is more that well equipped for preparing food, alternatively there are plenty of restaurants, bars and cafes around.

The apartment:
This renovated 50's apartment comprises of a cozy living room with hand made pillows, a vibrant fully equiped modern kitchen in red and black, a comfortable dining-room , a turquoise small-tile bathroom, two relaxing bedrooms: a dark pink vintage one with an antique double bed and a turquoise one with a modern fresh feel. An oasis of plants in the balcony offers a hug in the end of the day.

Kolonaki
It is the most chic neighbourhood of Athens, one of the liveliest and safest, sheltering wealthy Greeks and foreign Embassies. Glamorous socialites frequent the fashionable cafes, bars, trendy restaurants, ouzeries, tavernas, chic boutiques, art galleries and designer stores. Small parks, pedestrian streets and the pine-covered slopes of Lycabettus Hill also make Kolonaki a lovely area to experience on foot at any hour of the day or night.

In the neighbourhood:
Supermarkets, dry cleaning, bakeries, butcher shops, pharmacies, banks are just a stroll from the apartment. Every Friday, the Farmer's market down Xenokratous street is full of local produce.
Just across the Square, an Open air Cinema and a very nice café are well worth a visit.

It's entirely cozy
The stay was all good; it was in a good location, clean, described accurately, communication with Sophia was great, etc. She has quirky-but-good decor, including some of her mother's drawings, other people's ceramics, and her own paintings. Also, thanks so much for the sweet bread!

Ottimo appartamento nel centro bello di Atene
La casa è molto carina e curata, molto equipaggiata e rifinita nei particolari. L’accoglienza è stata molto piacevole e abbiamo potuto lasciare le valige per qualche ora il giorno della partenza. La collocazione è eccezionale, vicinissima alla metropolitana e a distanza a piedi da tutti o quasi i principali siti. La consiglio assolutamente
