Kalypso Acropolis View Rooftop | 6 min to Metro

Wake up to the Acropolis from the balcony, and climb one flight to a rooftop with a full view of the Parthenon, Lycabettus, and the Athens skyline. A design-forward top-floor apartment in quiet Neos Kosmos — deep-blue bedroom, red-accent living ceiling, sunlit balcony with loungers. Six minutes from Acropolis metro, fourteen from the site itself. A calm, character-filled base for couples who want Athens without the crush.

Living:

-Compact, designed living area with AC, smart TV, Netflix, and a red-accent ceiling that makes the space feel larger than its footprint
-Blue lacquered dining table seats two — works as a laptop station during the day
-Large windows; street noise barely registers with them closed

Kitchen:

-Full kitchen: stove, oven, dishwasher
-Nespresso machine with a starter pod supply
-Basics stocked for cooking in — olive oil, salt, coffee

Sleeping:

-Separate bedroom with queen bed (160×200cm)
-Faces the back of the building — genuinely silent at night
-Bedroom AC, blackout coverage, second TV

Bathroom:

-Walk-in shower with overhead rain head
-Washer available for guest use
-Hairdryer, fresh towels, toiletries provided
-Fully renovated with marble-effect porcelain walls, floating wood vanity, vessel sink, and a heated towel rail

Work:

-100 Mbps Wi-Fi throughout
-Dining table seats two comfortably for laptop work
-Fine for a working day or two, not a dedicated home-office setup

Outdoor:

-Oversized balcony with 2 sunbeds and a bistro table
-Acropolis view from the right side of the balcony — clear, photographable, lit after dark
-Shared rooftop terrace one flight up: unobstructed 360° Acropolis, Lycabettus, and city skyline

Comfort & extras:

-Top (5th) floor — elevator opens directly into the apartment (no shared landing)
-AC in both rooms, heating for cooler months
-Free street parking in the area (spots can take patience to find)
-Self check-in 24/7 via lockbox
-Designed, not decorated — this isn`t a beige rental. Parquet floors, botanical wallpaper, a deep-blue bedroom, and curated art throughout

Good to know: the elevator is on the small side — fine for two with standard luggage, tight for oversized suitcases. You`ll hear some traffic hum from Kallirrois avenue when standing on the balcony; it drops off entirely once you step inside, and the bedroom faces the back.

Self check-in is available anytime from 15:00 on arrival day — you`ll receive the building address, lockbox location, and code the day before you arrive. The elevator is inside the building lobby; press 5 for the top floor, and it opens directly into the apartment (no shared hallway).

Check-out is by 11:00 — just leave the keys in the lockbox and pull the door closed behind you. I`m reachable by message throughout your stay for anything you need, and I respond quickly. Please note the elevator is compact: comfortable for two people with normal luggage, tight with oversized suitcases.

Self check-in is available 24/7, and we can usually offer early check-in when the prior stay allows — just ask. During the day (9am–9pm), you`ll reach a member of our team directly by message or phone. Outside those hours, our AI assistant handles most questions instantly — and flags anything urgent to us right away.

See you soon.

LOCATION:

-Acropolis Metro (Red Line) — 6 min walk — direct line to the airport and Piraeus port; no taxi needed for arrivals or island ferries

-Acropolis & Parthenon — 14 min walk — close enough to go at sunrise before the crowds, return for a nap, and go back at golden hour

-Acropolis Museum — 7 min walk — one of the best museums in Europe, and the café terrace has its own Parthenon view

-Panathenaic Stadium — 15 min walk — the marble stadium from the 1896 Olympics, a scenic morning walk through the National Garden

Syntagma Square — 17 min walk — central Athens, Parliament, the changing of the guard, and the start of the shopping streets

Neighborhood honest take: Neos Kosmos is residential and Greek-feeling — bakeries, tavernas, and neighbors who actually live here. You`re a 4-minute walk from solid local food and one metro stop (or a 10-min walk) from Koukaki`s busier café strip. You`re staying near the tourist Athens, not in it. That`s the trade.

Metro station `Acropolis` and the Tram line are in walking distance.

Greek short-term rental registration:

Greek law requires us to register the main guest before check-in. Before arrival, we`ll ask you for:

Full name
Passport or national ID number
Home address
VAT number (Greek residents only)

It takes two minutes, we send a secure link, and your data is handled per GDPR. Every registered rental in Greece does this — if you`ve booked in Athens before, you know the drill.

Airport and port transfers:

We can arrange a licensed driver at fixed rates — no surge pricing, no meter surprises. Just message us with your flight or ferry details and we`ll confirm.

Booking this property means you agree to these rules. They exist to protect the home, our neighbors, and the experience of future guests. Please read them carefully before your stay.

1. Registered guests only. Only guests named on the reservation may sleep in the property. Unregistered overnight guests are not permitted. Day visitors are permitted only with prior written approval via the Airbnb message thread, and the maximum occupancy of the apartment may not be exceeded at any time. Violations authorize us to end the reservation without refund and to submit a claim through the Airbnb Resolution Center for the additional guests at our standard extra-guest rate.

2. Accurate guest count, including children. Guests are responsible for providing an accurate count of all persons staying, including children aged 3 and above. Additional bed linens may be provided on request for a fee. Misrepresentation of guest count is a violation of our rules and of Airbnb`s Terms of Service.

3. No parties or events. Parties, gatherings, and events of any kind are strictly prohibited, in line with Airbnb`s Global Party Ban. This includes daytime gatherings with non-registered guests, pre-parties, after-parties, photo/video shoots, and any assembly that exceeds the registered guest count or creates noise beyond a residential level. If we have reasonable grounds to believe a booking is intended for a party — including but not limited to last-minute local bookings, suspicious messaging, or suspicious group composition — we may cancel the reservation in line with Airbnb`s party prevention policy.

4. Quiet hours and neighbor respect. The property is located in a residential building governed by Greek law on shared residence quiet hours (κοινή ησυχία). Quiet hours are:

– 15:00 to 17:30 (afternoon rest, required by Greek law)
– 23:00 to 07:30 (night hours)

During these hours, guests must keep noise to a minimum: no loud music, no loud conversations on balconies, no use of the washing machine, no moving of furniture. Noise complaints from neighbors or the building manager may result in immediate termination of the reservation and a claim for associated costs.

5. Balcony and common area conduct. Balconies and terraces are for the quiet enjoyment of guests. The following are not permitted at any time: hanging laundry, towels, flags or any items visible from outside the balcony; placing items on balcony railings; throwing, dropping, or flicking any item (including cigarette butts) from balconies; loud conversation or music on balconies during quiet hours; propping open building entrance doors; obstructing stairwells, elevators, or common areas. Waste must be disposed of using the correct bins (recycling is separated; instructions are in the guest manual).

6. No smoking, vaping, or cannabis use indoors. Smoking of any substance, including tobacco, cannabis, vapes, e-cigarettes, and shisha/hookah, is strictly prohibited inside the property. Smoking on balconies is permitted only if cigarette butts are disposed of in the provided ashtray and never flicked or dropped from the balcony. Evidence of indoor smoking (including smell, ash, burns, or butts) results in a €250 cleaning and remediation penalty, plus any additional documented costs if professional treatment, textile replacement, or lost booking revenue are required.

7. No pets. Pets are not permitted in any of our properties. This includes overnight, day visits, and pets belonging to visitors. Exception: service animals are welcomed in line with Airbnb`s Accessibility Policy and applicable law; please inform us in advance so we can prepare the property appropriately.

8. Keys and access. Guests are responsible for keys, fobs, and access devices provided at check-in. Keys must not be copied, lent to non-registered persons, or left in the lock from the outside. Lost keys or access devices must be reported immediately. The full cost of locksmith call-out and lock/key replacement (typically €80–€200 depending on the lock type) will be charged to the guest.

9. Damages, stains and reporting obligation. Guests agree to use the property with reasonable care. Guests must report any damage or incident during their stay via the Airbnb message thread, so it can be addressed promptly. Concealed or unreported damage discovered after checkout will be claimed in full through the Airbnb Resolution Center.
Reasonable wear and tear is expected.
