“Sun sto Spiti” is a '60s house with a yard, recently renovated as to maintain the style and architecture of that time, by the architect & product designer, Mariza Tsiligkiridi. The apartment can host a total of up to 5 individuals in 2 different rooms. It is located at Filopappou area (a historical district near the Acropolis) in one of the quietest neighbourhoods at downtown Athens.
Just walking around Filopappou Hill can be an experience on its own; while when crossing the Hill you can reach the area of Acropolis in just 15 minutes. Also, the train station of Petralona is a mere 8-minute walk from the house, giving you the chance to get directly to Thission and Monastiraki, as well as to Piraeus in case you want to catch a ferry to the islands. Alternatively, if you prefer to use a car, you can easily find off street parking in the area.

All guests can have access to the common yard equipped with solar lightning and seating with tables.
The house is a corner, 3-facet building with southern orientation which makes it exceptionally bright, thus sunny and airy;-)
Its great brightness, thanks to its orientation, along with the familiar sensation that this house conveys once you walk in, inspired us to name it “Sun sto Spiti” which has a double meaning: 1/ “Sun at home” (literally) and 2/ “Feel like home” (metaphorically) as in our place you will feel like home!
