Lovely Stay in Athens

We enjoyed our stay in this apartment, The location was very convenient for sightseeing and walking to restaurants. We loved the view from the rooftop and enjoyed looking at the Acropolis all lit up every night. The unit was spacious and perfect for a group of 5.

Excellent property

We were very happy with the property. We really enjoyed meeting Chris, who helped with the checkin and provided many other extra perks like finding us when our taxi driver did not get all the way to the apartment. He was a pleasure to work with

Athens Sight Seeing Trip

The apartment is great, located in ideal place to see the sights. Local restaurants are good and a short walk to Plaka and the centre but the best location for the Acropolis

Perfect Location

Such a perfect location. We were able to walk out the front door to go do touristy things, pop back to cool off and refresh for dinner, and then head back out and find terrific restaurants. Beautiful garden area and rooftop that I wish we would have had more time to enjoy. If you had littles to get to bed or take a nap, this would be a lovely area to enjoy a glass of wine. Huge advantage to not staying in a hotel. Arriving is a little tricky since it is located off a pedestrian street, but owners answered our phone call from taxi. Also it was quiet with no street traffic. Thanks for a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Paul Firos

After selling my software company in the USA my wife and I, both art collectors, founded the Herakleidon Museum situated not far from this rental. Our main house in Athens connects to the rental through the garden. We bought it and restored it to accommodate our many guests. We decided to rent it and all proceeds are donated to our museum.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. Look at the map and you will realize that it is located at the heart of the Unified Archeological Sites of Athens. From here you can walk everywhere and if what you want to see is further away, the metro station is a mere ten minutes walk.
It is a fully equipped contemporary apartment in a two story house. It occupies the top floor and below is our storage space. You will be the only tenants during your stay.

What makes this property unique

After spending a couple of hours on top of the Acropolis in the summer you will appreciate the option to return to the apartment, relax, take a shower and resume your visit. Please note that Google Maps shows the Acropolis being 2.6 miles away! This is an absurdity since you can walk to the top in less than 15 minutes.
