About this apartment rental
Summary:
Just over 1 km from Acropolis and within easy reach of Kerameikos, this one bedroom apartment places you in one of Athens' most convenient locations for exploring the city's historic centre on foot. After a day of sightseeing, return to a comfortable space with a fully equipped kitchen, WiFi, a/c, and a washing machine that makes longer stays easy. Restaurants, cafés, local shops, museums, and public transport are all close by, making it simple to experience Athens at your own pace.
The Space:
Olympus Apartment offers a comfortable setting for couples, families, or friends looking to experience Athens from a central location. The living area provides space to relax after a day exploring the city, with air conditioning for year round comfort and a sofa bed that accommodates additional guests when needed.
The fully equipped kitchen makes preparing meals easy, featuring both a filter coffee machine and a Nespresso machine, together with a microwave, toaster, kettle, oven, and everything else you might need during your stay. A separate dining area creates a comfortable space for breakfast before heading out or dinner after a day of sightseeing.
The bedroom includes a queen size bed designed for a restful night's sleep, while the bathroom features a bathtub that offers the option of a relaxing soak after walking through the city's historic neighbourhoods.
A washing machine means you can pack light and stay longer, making the apartment equally suitable for weekend visits or extended stays. WiFi is available throughout the apartment, air conditioning serves the main living spaces, and a travel cot is available upon request for guests travelling with young children.
The private balcony provides an outdoor space where you can enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening while taking in the atmosphere of the surrounding neighbourhood.
An ideal destination for year-round vacations, perfect for families, friends, and couples.

The Neighborhood:
Kerameikos and Metaxourgeio sit on the western edge of the historic centre, where nineteenth century houses, restored workshops and art galleries share the streets with wine bars and studios. The area suits guests who want the city on their own terms, with a well stocked supermarket, bakeries and everyday shops a couple of streets away and the Varvakios central market about 600 m off for fish, cheese, olives and spices.
The coast is close enough for an afternoon swim. Edem in Palaio Faliro lies about 7 km south, sandy and shallow with a seafront promenade behind it. Alimos, around 8 km away, is a long organised sand beach with sunbeds, water sports and a marina beside it. Glyfada, about 14 km down the coast, brings together sand, beach bars and the liveliest shopping on the riviera, while Vouliagmeni at roughly 20 km rewards the trip with clear deep water framed by pines.
Filopappou Hill, about 1.5 km away, offers pine shaded paths and the finest view of the Acropolis, and Mount Ymittos, some 9 km east, opens up walking trails, Byzantine monasteries and wide views over Attica.
Ancient Kerameikos, the burial ground of classical Athens, is about 300 m away. The Ancient Agora sits around 600 m off, the industrial halls of Technopolis about 800 m, the Acropolis about 1.2 km and the Acropolis Museum about 1.5 km. The National Archaeological Museum, roughly 1.5 km north, holds the greatest collection of Greek antiquities anywhere.
The Municipal Gallery of Athens occupies the old silk mill that gave Metaxourgeio its name, about 500 m from the door.
Evenings here belong to plates of meze and ouzo, natural wine poured in restored townhouses and street art that leads you toward Psyrri about 500 m away. Sunday mornings call for the flea market at Monastiraki, and the ferries from Piraeus put Aegina and Hydra within a day trip.
An ideal destination for nature lovers and those seeking authentic local experiences all year round.
Getting Around:
Athens International Airport lies around 35 km east, and the blue metro line runs there directly from the nearest station, which also carries you the other way to the port of Piraeus, about 10 km southwest, where ferries leave for Aegina, Hydra, the Cyclades and Crete. A second station on the red line stands a similar distance away and takes you to Syntagma, the Acropolis and the coast at Elliniko. Bus and trolley stops stand on the main avenue nearby, and the intercity coach terminal for the rest of mainland Greece is about 3 km away. A car lets you make the most of Attica, from the temple at Sounio to the wine country around Nemea and the coast road south.
Other Things to Note:
You are staying in the part of Athens where the ancient city and the working city have always met, and it still feels that way at street level.
Interaction with Guests:
We are always available to assist our guests and make sure they have a pleasant and comfortable stay. Feel free to reach out anytime if you need help, local tips, or recommendations.
