Romantic Luxury in a Historical Home in the Heart of Ancient Athena.

The Athens Heritage House was designed to offer guests a true home away from home, familiar and comfortable with the same amenities they have at home.

Located on the first floor of a Neo-classical three story building that has undergone a complete gut renovation and partial rebuild. It is absolutely beautiful.

There are a total of three bedrooms and two full baths and one half bath. This historical home has 2 bedrooms off the living room, both with custom made iron beds - one bedroom has a Queen and the other two twins. The bedrooms look out onto the side street lined with orange trees. A third bedroom with en suite full bath is located in the garden studio off of the courtyard.

The street connects into the pedestrian zone that meanders its way into Plaka, Monasteraki, around the Acropolis and up Phillopapou Hill. It is an amazing location! One block over is another pedestrian zone, lined with cafes and restaurants, and around the corner a set of stairs leads you to yet another path. Whether you are a jogger, hiker or just love to walk, this is the place to be for exploring the sites and sounds of the Plaka, Monasteraki and Thisseo.

The kitchen and living room are designed with an open floor plan, which is terrific because it opens on to the house's courtyard, which is secluded from the street and surrounded on all sides by the building. It is full of plants and is a lovely place to enjoy a cup of coffee as you plan your day's activities.

The kitchen has a cooktop, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator, along with plenty of dishes and cookware. There is also a full-size washer and dryer (yes, a clothes dryer - why spend your holiday waiting for your clothes to dry!).

The kitchen and living room open up onto the private courtyard garden, where the cozy garden studio is located. This third bedroom with en suite bath and kitchenette is the perfect escape for harried parents of teens at the end of the day!

The apartment also has high speed internet and free unlimited international long distance phone service to the US, Canada, Australia, China and several EU countries!

  • The apartment was a great central location to walking to some wonderful restaurants and grocery stores. The tiropita were fantastic in the area and the sweet shop has a deadly deserts including the galatobouriko, almost taste it as I write it. Our relatives and taxis had no trouble finding us as well. I can really recommend the fast boats to the islands as you can do even day trips on them. The apt itself had all the luxuries of being home especially with cable and internet. The only downfall I can make about this place was the building noise across the street, which at times was quite loud in the beginning. Other than that, stay here and find everything at your fingertips. Beds, washer/dryer, kitchen and bathrooms were excellent . Thank you Carole for a wonderful vacation and next time I would love to try another place. Vicki and George Constan

  • What an amazing apartment. We traveled in August and stayed for 2 weeks with a 3 year-old and an 80 year-old -- we needed all the comforts and we got them! It was spotless, the a/c worked when and how we needed it to, everything was supplied that we could ever need in the kitchen (and everywhere else), the bedrooms were comfortable and easy to sleep in. It was an all around fantastic place to stay. They represented their home EXACTLY as it was. The veranda was a highlight. We ate meals and practiced music while we were out there...and drank a lot of coffee! We've recommended it to everyone we know. Thank you Carole and Basil.

  • The Lykavitos View apartment was just what we needed as a home base for our travels in Greece! My youngest daughter was on her foreign study in Athens since August 2008 and my wife and I came to visit her with my oldest daughter, her fiance, and my youngest daughter's boyfriend. The six of us spent two weeks in the Athens apartment while we took short side trips to the Peloponnese, Central Greece and Crete. It was great to be able to "come home" to the apartment after a busy day or busy side trip and relax. We always had breakfast at the apartment and we went to the farmers market and grocery stores to get food for the nights we decided to eat at home. There was something for everyone, as my wife and I had quiet places to read and with the internet access, stereo, cable television, international telephone calls and ipod dock the kids were able to keep "connected" for the entire trip! Pangrati was a great neighborhood with many restaurants, bakeries and places to shop. We were only a short walk, trolley, bus or metro ride from any of the sites in Athens. It was an adventure and a terrific vacation. Steve

  • We had a great stay in May 2008, with 3 generations of the family. Grandma especially liked the rooftop deck. We all liked the location and the apartment was perfect. Thanks to Carole and Basil for a wonderful stay and lovely basket of goodies, as well as recommendations for the area.

  • We can only add to the many positive comments about our stay in Athens First. The apartment was absolutely as good as we anticipated, and the ability to have the services of Yannis was a really great extra! Our family has only the best memories of a wonderful experience in Athens. This was our base for several side trips to the islands, and we felt it was "our home away from home." Definitely. a great choice from every aspect. Thanks Carole and Basil!

  • Carole, Basil, and Yannis, you were all outstanding! I'm sorry for not commenting sooner from our (Nov 08) stay. We were very impressed with everything! You all were extremely helpful for all our needs. We traveled with our sons, ages 4 & 2, and the location was perfect for the parks for them and the Athens Marathon for me. Very spacious, clean, and equipped in the "Alpha" apartment. Very helpful having the 2nd room for the boys. We highly recommend staying here, you won't regret it! Wonderful, and an unforgettable accomplishment, of memories were taken with us..me! I can't wait to come back for more wonderful memories! Thanks for everything!

  • Carole was very helpful in rental of their apartment in Athens. After a Cruise, three couples stayed three nights there. (Twin Room not as comfy) A wonderful Giro place was less than a block away, and wish we'd eaten there more than once. (Good Prices!) Shampoo, soap, etc. were included...didn't know that prior. Take a bus tour of the city, it's easy to get turned around, but Carole has LOTS of maps, hints, and brochures for use. The patios were a huge hit. Thanks again...Denise Adams
