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.

A perfect place in a vibrant neighborhood, the apartment is just steps away from the acropolis, agora, and many great cafes and restaurants. The nightlife is so much fun, and nighttime on the rooftop with a panoramic view of the acropolis and Athens skyline is unforgettable. This is an ideal place to experience beautiful Athens.

I cannot say enough good things about our stay at Irene’s Apartment! Communication was great! Check in was super easy. Irene has lots of good information about the neighborhood! The best part is that it is only a few blocks from the Parthenon on the Acropolis, Ancient Agora, Mars Hill (Areopagus), and the local food spots where right outside the door. I take that back… the best part was the views… the view from the front balcony was great, especially if you like to people watch and the rooftop view… oh my word! The rooftop view, especially at night, was a true sight to behold! The Parthenon is lit up so beautifully!! We had a fantastic stay! I don’t know if we’ll make it back to Athens, but if we do and Irene’s Apartment is not available for the days we want to visit, we will change our vacation dates to the days when it IS available. Thanks, Irene!!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Irene Karpouzi

Host profile image

My name is Irene and i am a photographer. My spare time I really like to read a good book and in summer i love to make long walks. A walk on Philopappou Hill is my favorite route. My favorite time of the day ... is late in the evening. When everyone in the house has been asleep and the city has plummeted. It's time to enjoy my drink on the terrace and plan the next day or not !
My decision to host people from other countries in my home came effortlessly. It seemed very interesting to me to meet people with other cultures, other interests than usual.

Why they chose this property

My apartment is located at the foot of Acropolis Hill, walking distance to all ancient sights, parks, art and culture, great views, restaurants and dining spots. The center of the city, (Syntagma square, Ermou street, National Garden, etc) are easily accessible either by foot or by metro.
