Marina Gaze

Just an eighteen-minute drive away from the centre of Athens, this spot in the heart of Pireas grants the best of both worlds – as you'll have the city at your fingertips and views of Marina Zeas from the balcony and the local beaches within walking distance. Waking up here each day couldn't be more blissful, as the from the balcony, you'll have a calming oasis from which to lap up spectacular views over the harbour. Gaze at the sailing boats and luxury yachts amidst the salty seaside atmosphere. Or not head down to Votsalakia beach (only a five-minute stroll away) to stroll along the lively promenade or have an alfresco meal in the sunshine. Inside the apartment, chic and stylish bohemian style designs create a truly relaxing space to chill after a day of discovering the sights of Athens. Turn on the Bluetooth speakers and let the sound of your favourite soundtrack soothe your soul as you sip a homemade espresso each morning. With neutral hues throughout, returning here after an action-packed day feels like melting into a warm hug – both calming and comforting.
