About this property

The ideal house at the foot of Acropolis.

My apartment is a spacious and cozy place 63 square meters, perfectly located in the heart of the historic center of Athens, in the neighborhood of Thiseio, few meters away from Apostolou Pavlou pedestrian street. Acropolis Hill and Ancient Agora is only 10 minutes walking.
The location couldn’t be better.
The metro station is only 3 minutes away thats why it is an ideal getaway destination for someone who wants to explore the city of Athens.
The view from the shared rooftop (3 floors up by narrow, typical, back stairs) is spectacular. Guests can enjoy the privacy of the whole apartment which I always make sure to be clean and neat.
Whenever is in our hand, we will be glad to offer an early check-in or late check-out.

Key Reasons to Stay in Thissio:
Stunning Views: Enjoy breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the Acropolis, especially from Apostolou Pavlou Street and rooftop bars.
Walkability: It's a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood, making it easy to stroll to the Ancient Agora, Temple of Hephaestus, and surrounding historic areas.
Relaxed Vibe: Thissio offers a calmer, more authentic Athenian experience with a bohemian feel, fewer crowds, and fairer prices than more central spots.
Proximity: It's a short walk or one metro stop from bustling Monastiraki and Plaka, giving you access to their energy without being right in the middle of the chaos.
Local Charm: Find traditional tavernas, and street musicians.
Historic Sites & Culture: Home to parts of the Ancient Agora, the National Observatory, the Parthenon and museums, blending history with modern life.
Ideal For:
Travelers seeking a central, yet peaceful base.
History buffs and culture enthusiasts.
Foodies and coffee lovers.
Those who enjoy walking and exploring on foot.

Irene is the best. We arrived to this beautiful apartment from the cruise port by taxi. I don’t believe the location could have been any better and convenient. There is a walking distance to major attractions and we stayed there for 5 days. There are great restaurants just across the street, grocery stores, bakery. We absolutely loved our stay and Irene was helpful, available, caring , and such a blessing.

As a tourist in Athens this was the perfect apartment for us. It is a few minutes walk to the Parthenon for one, Secondly when you go up to the rooftop deck, the view is spectacular. The apartment is very clean and has everything we needed to cook for ourselves or simply walk across the street for excellent coffee and dining options. If you cook or want to make your own coffee, or you want a bottle of wine for the rooftop deck, there are two grocery stores just down the street. There is so much to see and do within a 10 minute walk. Irene is an amazing host, great communication, very friendly and informative. We spent two nights here and I will recommend this apartment to any friends who may travel to Athens.

This was a great experience from beginning to end! Unfortunately we did not meet the host in person, simply because we were so busy exploring that our schedules never lined up. Great base to do our exploring from. Easy to walk to everything or take the metro to the nearby station if our feet got tired. Thissio street market is wonderful and just steps away. The rooftop patio with the amazing view is a few flights up some narrow stairs but they are very secure and well worth the climb! Quiet area but with everything you might need closeby.
