Athens
The historic centre of Athens sits in a bowl between Lykavittos, Filopappou and the Acropolis rock. Monastiraki, Plaka, Psyrri and Thiseio ring the ancient city, tight streets of neoclassical and post-war blocks where the Parthenon is visible from roof level almost everywhere.
Life here
- Monastiraki, the flea market and the oldest metro station in the city
- Plaka and Anafiotika under the north slope of the Acropolis
- The pedestrian archaeological promenade from Thiseio to the Acropolis Museum
- A capital that works all year, not a season
Ownership rationale
The historic centre has been the most actively traded part of Greece over the last decade, driven by short-term letting and residence-by-investment buyers. Supply in the protected blocks around the Acropolis is fixed, height and facade rules are strict, and short-term letting in the centre is subject to changing regulation — check the current rules for the specific block before assuming a yield.
Getting here
Athens international airport (ATH) is 40 minutes from Monastiraki by metro line 3 direct, or roughly 45 minutes by road. Piraeus port is 25 minutes on line 1 for the island ferries.
