About this apartment rental
Welcome to Phos, our exquisite suite in the heart of Plaka, the most picturesque area in Athens' centre, offering an unparalleled view of the majestic Acropolis. Located in a prime location, our suite combines luxury, comfort, and the enchanting beauty of ancient Greece.
The Name: To the Ancient Greeks, Phos (Φῶς) was “a pure, brilliant quality of light, signifying a break in the darkness, a triumph of truth and knowledge over ignorance”. The luminosity and unique beauty of Greek light have captured the imagination of poets, Lord Byron, Odysseus Elytis, and Constantine Cavafy to name a few. Phos is the epitome of creation and beauty, in Plaka, the centre of light in our city, Athens.
Our spacious suite features modern design with traditional touches, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The highlight of the suite is the private patio, where you can relax and admire the breathtaking panorama of the Parthenon. Whether you’re sprawled out on the sofa in the living room or lying down in the bedroom, the Acropolis is never out of sight. Imagine sipping your morning coffee or enjoying a glass of wine while soaking in the historic sights!
The suite includes a plush queen-sized bed, a well-equipped kitchenette, a cosy sitting area, and a private bathroom with all necessary amenities. The decor showcases a blend of contemporary elegance and nods to Athens' rich history, creating a unique and memorable experience.
Location: Our suite is nestled in Plaka, in the heart of Athens, just a short walk away from major attractions such as the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum, and the historic Monastiraki Square. You'll find an array of charming cafes, vibrant restaurants, and local shops nearby, allowing you to immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of the city.
Despite being just a breath away from the bustling centre, the suite remains peacefully quiet, so you can escape the lively city pulse to find solace in this peaceful sanctuary any time you choose to!
Kindly note that the suite is located on the 4th floor, accessible by an elevator.

The apartment is truly amazing! And the view was magical. If we could give this property more than 5 stars I certainly would. Eva was the most gracious host and every detail was taken care of.
Being in the Plaka area made our trip so enjoyable and easy to walk to almost anywhere.

located on the fourth floor, this suite is great for time in Athens. The view of Acropolis was amazing - and excellent way to complete our 1st trip to Greece.

Great location. Everything walkable. Clean. Well appointed. Perfect size and amenities for a couple. Good shower. Very comfy bed. That balcony and view are to die for. Would definitely rebook for next visit. Host is also great.

The apartment itself wasn't large however it was the right amount of space for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teen daughters). The communication with the host was easy, the location was amazing for exploring the city without a car and the view was INCREDIBLE!

Lovely apartment in a perfect location. A little bit noisy but that is to be expected in the middle of a city.

Unfortunately, we were only able to stay two nights at Eva‘s flat. It was seamless, from pre-arrival communication until the minute we left. The interior was chic and semi-modern and incredibly clean. The bed, pillows and linens were fabulous. Tall ceilings and plenty of space for the two of us, with wonderful balconies for viewing the Acropolis day or night. The location was fantastic for shopping, dining, and strolling through Plaka and the various surrounding neighborhoods. We hope to return some time and recommend booking in advance, as I know it is popular. We have stayed in many VRBO homes and apartments and this was top-notch. Thank you Eva and Kris (the lovely woman who cleans and sets up between guests- could not have been nicer).

What a beautiful gem! The location of the apartment was perfect, the view from the balcony was breathtaking, both day and night, I couldn’t stop taking photos. The inside of the apartment was immaculate and a modern. It was such a perfect place to stay for me and my daughter, so close to all the major historical sites! Thank you such much Eva, we will be back Rachel and Gracie xx

Phos house provides its guest with a modern apartment with incredible views and a most convenient location close to major activities and numerous restaurants. The furnishings were near new and kitchen was well stocked with high quality items. This will be my first choice of a place to book when returning to Athens.

Perfect location and gorgeous, sunny apartment with everything we needed.
My husband and I spent 5 nights here and hated to leave. The apartment is within a very short walk to many major sights and a huge array of restaurants, cafes, shops and bars. We walked all around central Athens and feel this location, within the heart of Plaka, was the best in the city.
And amazingly, it was very peaceful and quiet!
The host was wonderful. She met us at the apartment and showed us around and offered to let us leave our luggage in the apartment after checkout so we could tour around until time to leave for our flight. She also suggested a taxi driver, Leonidas, who picked us up from the airport and then took our s back to the airport on our last day. He was wonderful as well.
The apartment was first-rate. Wonderful comfy large bed with a view of the Acropolis! Seriously! The shower was a fun experience with lots of spray options. Apartment was stylish and had many live plants. We had coffee on our balcony every morning. The balcony’s and large windows overlook the center of the block, with lots of greenery and birds, and so there is no traffic noise.
It was really hard to leave this beautiful, peaceful, comfortable apartment!
Be sure to walk to Anafiotika and up to the top of Lycabettus Hill for sunset. We also recommend the Athens One Day Cruise to Hydra, Poros and Aegina, which we booked online through Hop In Tours.

The Acropolis is even closer than the picture appears. We spent a lot of time on the balcony enjoying that view. Apartment is close to other sites as well. Apartment was very comfortable. Thanks for the visit.

We couldn’t have stayed at a nicer place. The location is fantastic, Eva, the host took care of our every need, which included helping us with airport transfer and luggage storage. However, what was the biggest treat was the design of the apartment itself. Every attention was taken to detail, storage and aesthetic efficiency. We felt as if we had our own private 5 star suite. I could go on and on about what was provided to enhance our comforts - coffee (including milk frother for cappuccino), luxury soaps, shampoo, lotion, candles, guide books, quality linens, complimentary aperitif…
Lastly, the experience of sitting on your private balcony and gazing at the Acropolis is beyond magical. Suffice it to say, we will be back!

Beautifully and centrally located near the old city. Everything we wanted to go to was in walking distance. The condo is beautifully designed and well stocked. The living quarters are immaculate, the space well thought out, with everything we needed provided for us. The crown jewel of the place is its outstanding view, from our deck, of the Acropolis both day and night. Can’t wait to revisit.

In the heart of Plaka with views of the Acropolis sits this lovely apartment. Comfortable bed with full black out shades made for a restful visit. We walked to all restaurants and ancient sites. Our host shared restaurant ideas and arranged for our taxi to and from the airport and cruise terminal. Recommend 100%. Love the city of Athens. Thank you for making our stay perfect!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great apartment, fabulous view of the Acropolis, and a central location in Plaka that is walkable to almost anywhere. And it was quiet at night so we could sleep. Well decorated with all the essentials. Highly recommend!

Apartment was perfect for 2 people. Gorgeous view of Acropolis. Very close to Acropolis museum, and most major attractions are walkable within 15-20 minutes. Lots of restaurants and vibe catering to tourists. The unit was impeccable and the host was very thoughtful in providing a great experience. Flawlessly clean, fluffy towels, coffee, toiletries, laundry soap. Small but functional kitchen. Very clean bathroom. Lots of storage, extra pillows, voltage adapters. Could use a comfy chair in TV area to complement couch. AC was very cool. Quiet neighbourhood. Open concept studio but pictures do reflect the accommodations. Appreciated the elevator. We only had one question and host answered in under 10 minutes. We used the taxi recommendation and this was also a great experience. One of our best rentals.

We loved the layout of this place! The view of the Acropolis was unbelievable ! We’d pinch ourselves at how stunning it is. Very close to all the sites like the museum , Acropolis itself, great restaurants a block away but on a quiet street. Eva & Cris very easy to work with. Thank you so much! If in Athens again we will definitely book!

This was like a rich, artistic friend lent us their pied à terre in Athens. Everything was thought through for a luxurious few days. High end appliances, bed and bedding and decorating. The view was mesmerizing. It was in the heart of the Plaka but quiet with a comfortable balcony. The welcome, communication and support were perfect. We hated to leave.
