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.
