Athens Capital
Home to the Mappemonde Rooftop Pool Bar, the rooftop of Capital Hotel Athens offers panoramic views across Athens from morning to night, combining a central Syntagma address with a calm, contemporary atmosphere. The space is marked by a strong artistic identity, featuring elements of George Lappas’ Mappemonde installation, seamlessly integrated into the rooftop setting. With its pool, uninterrupted city views and relaxed all-day rhythm, the rooftop feels more like an elevated urban retreat than a traditional hotel terrace.Electra Metropolis
Set on a spacious rooftop in the heart of the city, Electra Metropolis Athens offers a true 360° perspective over Athens, with views stretching from the Acropolis and Lycabettus Hill to the picturesque rooftops of Plaka. Home to the Metropolis Roof Garden and M Bar, the rooftop can be enjoyed throughout the day, from brunch and lunch to sunset cocktails. A versatile rooftop experience that combines central location, uninterrupted views and an unmistakably urban rhythm.Athinaiki Taratsa at Regal Hotel Athens
Located atop Regal Hotel Athens, Athinaiki Taratsa offers an all-day rooftop experience with direct Acropolis views above the city’s busy centre.

Athens Flair
Mira Me Athens
An intimate rooftop restaurant perched above a neoclassical building, Mira Me Athens offers one of the most immediate Acropolis perspectives in the historic centre. The scale is deliberately small, creating a calm, almost residential atmosphere where the view feels personal rather than performative. Ideal for slow dinners and quiet moments that place the monument directly in front of you.The Foundry Athens
The rooftop of The Foundry Athens reinterprets the traditional Greek courtyard as an elevated, garden-like retreat above the city. Surrounded by olive and pomegranate trees, fragrant plants and pergola-shaded walkways, the rooftop opens up to layered views of the Acropolis, Philopappou Hill, the Observatory and the Gazi district. Guests can relax or enjoy a rooftop picnic, experiencing Athens through greenery, light and carefully framed sightlines rather than spectacle.
New Hotel
The Anthology of Athens
The rooftop of The Anthology of Athens overlooks one of the city’s most evocative landmarks, with direct views towards the Columns of Olympian Zeus framed by the surrounding historic landscape. Discreet and composed, the terrace offers a rare perspective that feels archaeological rather than panoramic, appealing to travellers who appreciate quiet luxury and a strong sense of place rooted in Athens’ ancient layers.
