The space
The loft is situated in a former six storey industrial building in downtown Athens. It is a 25m2 bright, space on the fifth floor. It benefits from south facing windows and a private veranda, which offers extraordinary views to the Acropolis.

The architectural intervention focuses on the industrial feeling that the space evokes respecting the former use and story of the building. The use of light and texture are the main design tools.

The original, concrete structure and green terrazzo floor are preserved, while the 70s-style mood is refreshed with modern details.

The luminous space opens up to a large veranda. There is a constant dialogue between grey and green elements, light and darkness, raw and polished surfaces, views to both Acropolis and industrial Athens, which give the space a unique character.

Special attention was given, during the design, so that the space offers a private shelter inside the dense urban landscape of Athens

The apartment has one master bedroom with a double bed (1.60x2.00). Fully equiped bathroom with shower. Linen, towels, hairdryer are provided.

The apartment also offers high speed WiFi, Smart TV with Netflix for your viewing pleasure and air conditioning.

Other things to note
Sightseeing in Athens

Acropolis
The symbol of the city, the Acropolis is one of the most famous ancient sites in the world. Towering above the city, at the top of the Sacred Rock, the ancient Doric temple known as the Parthenon was dedicated to the goddess Athena, protector of the city. Constructed in the 5th century BC it is an architectural marvel, inspiring awe in thousands of visitors every day. Next to it stands the small Erechtheum, with its imposing Caryatids. The figures you see on the temple are replicas, five of the originals are in the Acropolis Museum, the sixth in the British Museum in London.

Herod Atticus Odeon
On the south-western side of the rock of the Acropolis you will come to the Herodion, the Roman Odeon, renowned for its architecture and acoustics, capacious enough to hold an audience of 5,000. Every summer it is used as a venue for musical and theatrical performances of international stature. Close by is the Theatre of Dionysus, the oldest theatre in the world, home to the ancient Greek drama and the cradle of dramatic art.

Ancient Agora
At the feet of the Acropolis, on the northern side, lies the ancient agora, the centre of city life in ancient Athens. Features to see include the road taken by the Panathenaic Procession, and the three gigantic statues which stand next to the remains of the Odeon of Agrippa. A little farther on is the Temple of Hephaestus, regarded – together with the Parthenon – as among the best preserved temples in Greece. The stoa of Attalus, built by Attalus King of Pergamon, dates from the 2nd century BC and is the only two-storey stoa in ancient Athens, now fully restored.

Roman Forum
The Roman forum is in the Plaka district, and dates from the 1st century BC. Look out for the remains of the Library of Hadrian (132 AD), and the elegant clock tower of Andronicus Cyrrestus, known as the Tower of the Winds.

Columns of Olympian Zeus
At the edge of the city’s historic centre you will come across the Olympieio archaeological site, and the beautiful temple dedicated to Zeus, as well as the imposing Hadrian’s Gate, a marble triumphal arch which marked the boundary between the old and new cities.

Panathenaic Stadium – Kallimarmaro
The Panathenaic Stadium, or Kallimarmaro, lies between the Agra and Ardittos Hills. It was built in 330 BC by the orator Lycurgus, as a venue for the Great Panathenaia festival. The remains were unearthed in 1870 and the stadium was rebuilt, preserving its impressive horseshoe design. It was here in 1896 that the Olympic Games were revived for the modern age.

New Acropolis Museum
The jewel of the city, showcasing the best of the ancient art of Athens, the New Acropolis Museum welcomes visitors on a journey of 5,200 years, featuring 4,000 exhibits – before you even pass through the doors! Because from the courtyard in front of the museum you can look down through the glass floor and see part of the ancient neighbourhood which came to light during construction work on the museum. The tour of the museum reaches its climax in the glass wing of the top floor, which houses copies and original pieces from the decoration of the Parthenon, prompting a fascinating architectural dialogue between the ancient monument and the modern building.

National Archaeological Museum
This is one of the most important museums of ancient art to be found anywhere in the world, with treasures from all the civilizations which flourished in the Greek world from the prehistoric era to the end of the Roman period.

Byzantine and Christian Museum
This beautiful complex of buildings, with its gardens, elegant wings and the ancient Lyceum of Aristotle, is home to one of the world’s most important collections of Byzantine art. Its 15,000 exhibits include icons, sculptures, miniatures, frescoes, ceramics, fabrics, early printed works and manuscripts.

Benaki Museum
The Benaki Museum collection includes 33,000 items, recording the history of the Greek world from ancient times to the Asia Minor Catastrophe. Of particular interest are the collections of games and toys, the childhood section, the exhibits illustrating Coptic and Chinese art, and the room featuring works by the great Greek painter Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghika.

Museum of Cycladic Art
Dedicated to the study and promotion of the ancient civilizations of the Aegean and Cyprus, with special emphasis on the art of the Cyclades in the 3rd millennium BC, this important museum is divided into three sections: Cycladic Civilization, Ancient Greek Art and Cypriot Civilization.

Plaka
Plaka is the oldest neighbourhood in Athens, nestling at the feet of the Acropolis, its picturesque narrow streets cheek by jowl with ancient monuments, Turkish bathhouses, Byzantine churches, lovely little tavernas and flower-filled courtyards outside houses that resemble those of the Cyclades. Since ancient times, this has been the heart of the city.

Philopappus Hill
One of the locals’ favourite spots, the hill takes its name from the monument erected there in the 2nd century AD to honour the ruler of Syria and public benefactor Gaius Julius Antiochus Philopappus. The hill stands directly opposite the Acropolis and is the ideal place to see the majestic Parthenon from a new perspective.

Lycavettos
The second most widely recognized landmark of the city, Lycavettos Hill offers a panoramic view of Athens extending from the mountains of Parnitha and Penteli to Piraeus and the Saronic Gulf. Its slopes are covered in beautiful pine woods, and at the summit you will find cafes and a restaurant. There are various paths leading up to the top, or you can take the cable car from the terminal on Ploutarchou Street in Kolonaki.
