Acropolis Sky Villa: Make some family memories - 7bd/6ba views W/D Walk to sites
Finding space for a big family or group in Athens can be tricky — until now. Welcome to the Acropolis SkyVilla, a one-of-a-kind 7-bedroom, 6-bath duplex penthouse designed for gathering, celebrating, and relaxing in style.
From sunrise coffee to sunset cocktails, your private terrace offers 360° views of the Acropolis, Mount Lycabettus, and the Athenian skyline. Inside, the open-plan living area combines the warmth of a true home with the comfort of a boutique hotel — perfect for family reunions, wedding groups, or friends traveling together.
You’ll stay steps from neighborhood cafés, bakeries, and metro access, yet above it all in your own light-filled urban retreat.
The space
Spread across two levels, the SkyVilla offers generous living and dining areas, a fully equipped kitchen, and plenty of natural light. French doors open to wraparound balconies, while upstairs a landscaped rooftop terrace invites long dinners under the stars and unforgettable photos with the Parthenon in view.

Everything was ready for us upon arrival and the hosts were super communicative through out the booking, arrival and check out process. They gave us plenty of ideas for things to do and places to go and was were wonderfully accurate. We had plenty of room and no issues with the property which was set in a great neighborhood would love to stay again
We really loved the property. We had party of 10 and it fit all our needs. Carole, Basil and Danai were so helpful and made our stay so much more enjoyable. We would definitely stay again
The apartments were spacious and comfortable for our group of 15. The host and staff couldn’t have been more organized, friendly, and helpful. Great neighborhood with easy access to the Acropolis.
This is an amazing place to stay. Carol and Basel will help with everything you need. Good location.
Above what we expected.

great stay!
Loved this place - it's perfect for a multi-generation family.
Carole and Basil were amazing to work with - we had a large group and the accommodations were ideal - as were the pace of our mostly food focused activities (though our Acropolis guide was terrific.
Thanks Carole and Basil - we hope some of us will be back to explore more places in Greece - and we'll be working with Real Greece Travel again.
We thoroughly enjoyed the property; Carole and Danai were very responsive and helpful!!

Thanks for your review! I enjoyed having the chance to welcome you in person and Danai had a great time with your family during the traditional Greek cooking class we organized in the apartment. Hope you all made some great Greek memories!
Wonderful modern apartment in a great neighborhood. I would recommend using transfer service to and from airport and guides suggested by owners as well as restaurant recommendations. Carole and Nadia were wonderful and easy to deal with.

Great in Greece!
We had a wonderful experience on this Athens apartment. The space was as described with great amenities (supplies, ability to stock the kitchen, make reservations, arrange drivers, etc!)
Carole and Nadea and Nick were great! We highly recommend the space and would enthusiastically stay again
We were a family of 16 ranging in age from 10 to 77. The layout of 7 BR’s allowed everyone to spread out while enjoying a central area.
The Location was great and all the major sites were accessible by foot.
Danai was incredibly helpful and cooked us a Greek meal which was great fun.
If you’re a large group and want to be in the middle of Athens highlights, this property is an excellent choice.
The apartment is really nice. We took the option of alpha plus beta, and lived in it very comfortably as a group of 13 people. Everything in the place is very nice and well maintained - great kitchen supplies, nice beds, lots of books to browse through etc. Carol and her associates were really nice and gave us many great suggestions about where to go, where to eat, et. Despite the fact that it was an Easter holiday weekend. In short - highly recommended!
The property was very accurately described, we were a party of 19 and we all fit in the 2 apartments nicely. The apartments were very well stocked, we lacked nothing. The location was great, walking distance to shopping, restaurants and some historical sites too. Communication was the hosts was superb, the best experience ever! Shout out to Danai, Carole and Basil as their knowledge of Athens was so helpful in planning activities, and they arranged everything for us as well. I highly recommend!

Great place.
The place has all the comforts of home. Carole has thought of everything. It is not too far from the city center, it is less of a "touristy" area and the restaurants are very good and inexpensive. The bakery was wonderful and every morning we had a delicious breakfast. Carole set up some fabulous tours for us and she takes care of everything. I would highly recommend using her expertise. Loved the food tour of Athens, and the tour to Poseidon's Temple. Carole also found us a guide for the Acropolis, she was outstanding! I will continue to use her homes, I want to go to Chicago just to use her vacation rental!!

Amazing Place to Stay and Even Better People
The apartment was perfect for our group of 11. We spent 8 days in Athens and never got tired of such a nice place. The people we worked closely with were Carole, Basil and Nadia. What exceptional and caring people! If you have ANY question or concern, they are right on top of it. In additional to an extremely well maintained and stocked apartment, they provide excellent vacation planning. Their recommendations for tours, day trips, restaurants and activities were perfect. Never a problem! The people they work with match their compassion. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to visit Athens. The trip planning by Carole was such a hidden gem in this great vactation! Looking forward to another visit to Athens and the Acropolis Sky Villa!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Tom. I really enjoyed helping plan your family's itinerary - it is so much fun to work with a group that wants to experience everything that Greece has to offer (expecially all of the foodie aspects!)
We cannot wait to welcome you back to Athens (and to see you in Chicago!)
Very well-kept apartment (s) in the heart of the city and within walking distance to many sites.
With 19 family members we made use of both apartments, connected by a short hallway.
Lovely “welcome basket”, spacious balconies with great city views. Plenty of bathrooms.
Having transports, activities and restaurants booked for us was wonderful - doing that in a new place and for 19 people would have been beyond challenging.
The guides and drivers were excellent, warm and friendly.
One highlight in particular was our Greek meal cooking lesson for all 19 of us, with two chefs coming to the apartment. Everyone very much enjoyed themselves.
Very friendly and helpful apartment owners/travel planners.
Highly recommended.

Wonderful week in Athens
Our family is scattered all across the US. We were looking forward to spending time together and catching up. My brother booked a Festiva sailing vacation (awesome!)in the Cyclades and we topped it off with a week in Athens. The Athens First apartment was perfect for our needs. It offered a fill-sized refrigerator, well -appointed kitchen, two bathrooms (one with a tub!) and a lovely outdoor area where we gathered both before and after long sightseeing days. We highly recommend the foodie tour! The apartment was nicely decorated, spotlessly clean and had a much needed washer and dryer. We were welcomed with a food basket and wine, saving us from having to go to the grocery the day of check in. All in all, it was perfect for our needs. Carole, Basil, Nadia (conducted the Foodie Tour) and Nick (wealth of knowledge) were all so informative and helpful. Highly recommend a stay here!

Thanks so much sharing your experience. We're so happy that we were able to help your family plan an amazing Greek holiday. We hope we will be able to welcome you back again, either in Greece or in our Chicago Magic Factory Lofts vacation rental homes.
Great local location close enough to tourist sites with the warm feel of a local neighborhood
Hosts were great to work with and were very responsive and communicated early, often and quick. Great view from the top, AC in every room kept the place cool.
This was our second time to bring a large group of us to stay in this home. They have made some changes that made it even better than before--codes to get into the building and apartment (wonderful to not have to keep up with keys!), some new beds, and other renovations. Carole was incredible to work with and we sure hope to be back again next year! Highly recommend this place and any place that Carole and Basil host. :)
Our apartment made this trip wonderful.
It was hard to leave it in the morning .
Neighborhood restaurants and shops were really good .
All recommendations from Carole and her staff were exactly what we wanted.
From the supermarket to restaurants to the tours Carole set up for us .

Hello Ronald,
Thank you for your review.
We are glad you had a wonderful time and look forward to hosting you again, either in Greece or in Chicago at the Magic Factory Lofts.
Carole and the Team
C'est un appartement 5 étoiles, Tout était parfait. L'accueil avec instructions complètes de Nadia, les communications claires et précises de Carole, le transport rapide et a l'heure vers l'aéroport de Nikos. À distance de marche de tous les points à visiter. Nous avons bien apprécié notre séjour à Athènes.
Carole runs a great business. The condo is well appointed, clean and beds are comfortable. She really goes out of her way to make sure you have a great vacation. We leveraged her contacts and set up several tours - and they were all well worth it. Highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Carole Heiman-Kezios
Basil and I are full time travel professionals, we offer our Athens properties here but we also run a custom travel planning agency, RealGreece Travel, so we know what quite a bit about hospitality (as mixed culture couple (Basil, born and bred in Athens, Carole, born & bred in Chicago) we understand that quirks in Greece and know how to help our guests get the most out of their Greece experience. For those who choose our Greek Vacation Rentals, you are staying in an intentional holiday home. You won't find anyone's clothes in the drawers but you will find lots of things provided with travelers in mind (some of which are secrets we choose not to share here since that's what makes us special :-)
Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique
We know from our years in the vacation rental business in Greece, finding one property that sleeps a large group is a challenge - most of what you will find advertised as "6 bedroom" or more bedrooms, is often a building with several 2 bedroom apartments. This is fine if you're all not planning on hanging out together inside the vacation rental property. But if you want space to gather together, in ONE APARTMENT, the Acropolis Sky villa is your place.
We are always there for you!! Communication prior to arrival and trhough check-out will be via a private WhApp chat group that we setup for your group. For larger non-family groups, we request everyone be added to it - this avoids issues with arrival, check-in and offers you immediate responses from our team during your stay. This ensures a great stay!
