A breath away from the main square of the country, the central metro station and a 5-minute walk from the Parliament, you cannot get more central in Athens than we are. If you enjoy shopping you have just hit the jackpot as we are less than 1 minute away from the country’s most famous commercial pedestrian street and 5 minutes away from some of the most famous catwalks on earth.
Easily accessible by metro, both from the Athens International Airport and from the port of Piraeus, it allows you to sense the true vibe of a city that has rightfully won the title of the most up-and-coming city break destination in the world.
The Parthenon, the Erechtheion and the other monuments of this world-famous archaeological site have been the first stop of every visitor in Athens for centuries. A once in a lifetime experience that also includes a visit to the stunning Acropolis Museum, an exploration of the streets of ancient Plaka, a walk along beautiful Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, consecutive stops at the Ancient and the Roman Agora and, finally, food and drink at Thiseio, Psyri, Monastiraki or the hip Agia Irini Square. A marvellous choice where you can enjoy the utmost of comfort if you pick the Astikon House as your base.
Athens in known not only for its museums and archaeological sites, but also because it can offer a unique shopping experience to its visitors. Our guests at Astikon House can enjoy this experience from their first step outside the doors of the accommodation, since it is just ten meters away from the most well-known commercial street. That is where centuries-old stores, like "Aleksandrakis", share their living space with the boutiques of the biggest designer brands in the world, as well as small, hipster shops that hide original and unique surprises.
This cultural center is a masterpiece from the hands of famous Italian starchitect Renzo Piano, and it is the perfect prelude for the Athens Riviera lying at your feet. It houses, among others, the Greek National Opera that always plays a show that will intrigue you, the impressive building of the National Library of Greece, a canal with seawater, a Mediterranean garden and dozens of every-day activities that you can join.
In the very same small square where the flower sellers of Greece used to gather some decades ago, a new and interesting approach to gastronomy and entertainment is “blooming” these last few years. On the square and the streets that surround it, the visitor will discover the most interesting culinary proposals (from the Greek, Mediterranean and ethnic cuisines), as well as the most hip third wave cafes, impeccable street food and elegant bars, awarded multiple times as some of the best ones in the world. Another key point that is easily and comfortably accessible to the guests of Astikon House, thanks to its favourable location.
