Detached house for sale in Athena, Thisseio, Greece

Athena, a 19th century neoclassical listed building, in one of the most sought after neighbourhoods in Athens, Thissio.

Thissio is perhaps the best area in Athens to appreciate the magnificence of the Parthenon, a glorious awe-inspiring sight, more amazing by night, illuminated like a golden crown, looking down over the city. The views are quite remarkable.

Athena is a lovely, spacious and comfortable home with high ceilings decorated with frescoes and adding to the feeling of space. During the renovations, in 2012, which were carried out in strict compliance with archeological rules and regulations, a wall dating back to the 4th century bc and Roman mosaic were found. The owners were granted permission to keep them both and they are now a feature of the home, and proudly displayed.
