Cecropia

This stunning home in the heart of Athens puts you right in the path of some of the most storied sights in this ancient Greek city. Visit the ruins, reach the Temple of Olympian Zeus on foot in minutes, or see the Zappeio Roman Baths. A walk through the city where every corner unveils another beautiful building or a historical landmark, will have you reaching for your camera as you try to capture the awe-inspiring sights whilst tracking down lunch for the day. When you’re not out exploring the city, its secrets and myths, or looking for a cafe, you can enjoy coffee on the balcony, or curl up on the sofa with Homeric Hymns as the light streams in through the many windows. Cook together in the generous kitchen or put together a meze platter and enjoy it in the dining space as you recount the day’s adventures. Wind down with a glass of wine at sunset and after you take to the living space to play a game of charades or watch a movie together. Home truths: *At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area *Parking in Athens can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot *This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected *Your host asks that you please respect quiet hours between 11pm and 7am, and 3pm and 5pm *Hen and stag parties are not allowed at this home *Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *The balcony is shared with other guests
