One of the Dreamiest Athens Stays with a Private Acropolis View

One of the Dreamiest Athens Stays with a Private Acropolis View

Waking up to a front-row view of the Acropolis? Yes, please.

During our recent trip to Athens, we had the pleasure of staying at GEMP Apartments Greece — and honestly, it was one of the highlights of our stay. Think modern design, a peaceful atmosphere, and the most breathtaking panoramic view of the city from a huge private terrace.

Apartment View

A Modern Athenian Gem in the Sky 💎

Perched on the 7th floor of a stylish building, this studio apartment feels like a secret retreat above the city. From the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed by a meticulously decorated space, full of thoughtful details — ambient lighting, soft textures, and a minimalist but cozy design that immediately felt like home.

Although technically a studio, it offers everything you’d want for a comfortable city stay:

  • A queen-size bed with fresh linens and soft pillows
  • A smart Android TV with Netflix, Disney+ and more (ideal for winding down after a day in the sun)
  • A fully equipped kitchen, including electric stoves, microwave, toaster, and a Nespresso machine (our go-to every morning)
  • A spacious bathroom stocked with towels, toiletries, and a great shower
  • Air conditioning, heating, fast WiFi, and even a washing machine — perfect for longer stays

That Terrace Though… 😍

But let’s be honest — the real star of the show is the 60m² terrace. From here, you can see the Acropolis, the Parthenon, Lycabettus Hill, and the city stretching endlessly below you. Whether you're enjoying a morning espresso or a sunset prosecco, this view is truly one of the best in Athens.

We even made a little aperitivo moment one evening and it genuinely felt like we had our own private rooftop bar in the heart of the city.


Location: 10/10 📍

GEMP Apartments is located in a prime, central area:

  • Just 2 minutes from the metro
  • 15 minutes walking distance to the Acropolis
  • Surrounded by 24/7 mini-markets, bakeries, and local shops
  • You’ll be close to all the main attractions, yet far enough to enjoy peace and quiet when you return.

More Than a Stay — A Family Story 💙

What makes GEMP even more special is the people behind it. The name GEMP comes from the initials of the founders: Georgios, Elena, Michail, and Panagiota, who treat their apartments like precious gems — and it shows.

Their goal is to offer more than just a place to sleep. They’ve created a sanctuary where you can truly unwind and feel the warmth of a family-run business that cares deeply about your experience.


Our Verdict? Don’t Think Twice.

If you’re heading to Athens and want something that feels modern, relaxing, and just a bit magical, this is the spot. For €90/night, you get one of the best panoramic views in the city, a beautiful space to recharge, and a truly memorable stay.

We’ll definitely be back. 🏛️🌇
