The Setting

Where the city began. The Plaka House rests in the lattice of lanes beneath the Acropolis — in the oldest quarter of Athens, inhabited without pause since antiquity.

Neoclassical façades, marble underfoot, and the Cycladic white of neighbouring Anafiotika — the quarter the Athenians have long called the Neighbourhood of the Gods.

The Spaces

Light and uncluttered — a guest room, a study, a quiet retreat.

The Bathroom
