About the host

Hosted by LEKAKOU EVANGELIA

Host profile image
The Athenian Cypress House was never just a property—it was a dream lovingly brought to life. Originally restored as a personal retreat for its owners, two brothers from the UK and the US, it was designed to be a homecoming haven during their rare but cherished family holidays in Greece. Every corner of the house reflects their vision: a blend of neoclassical soul, contemporary comfort, and artistic flair. With backgrounds in both real estate and the arts, they poured heart, memory, and imagination into every detail. What began as a place to gather, rest, and reconnect has now opened its doors to guests from around the world, inviting them to share in its warmth, its stories, and its quiet magic.

Why they chose this property

Metaxourgeio – Athens’ Most Artistic Secret Tucked away in the heart of the city, Metaxourgeio is one of Athens’ most fascinating and fast-evolving neighborhoods—a place where neoclassical elegance meets edgy creativity, and where quiet local life coexists with an ever-growing arts and culture scene. Ermagora Street, where the house is located, lies just a few minutes from Metaxourgeio metro station (Line 2), offering direct access to the historic center, the airport, and the port. Yet, the area itself feels like a world of its own—calm, soulful, and effortlessly stylish. Once home to Athens’ silk industry (Metaxourgeio literally means “silk mill”), the neighborhood has transformed into a vibrant creative hub. Art studios, alternative theaters, vintage shops, and contemporary galleries breathe new life into the old industrial charm. Street art blooms across facades, and hidden courtyards reveal cozy cafés, roof bars with Acropolis views, and laid-back tavernas serving unforgettable Greek flavors. Around Ermagora 6, you’ll find everything you need within walking distance—groceries, bakeries, parks, and a growing number of excellent restaurants and wine bars. Whether you’re seeking a quiet walk through real Athenian streets, a taste of the city’s underground scene, or simply a beautiful corner to sit with a book and a coffee, Metaxourgeio offers it all—with zero pretense and plenty of charm. Metaxourgeio is not just a neighborhood—it’s a feeling. A place to live, create, explore, and truly experience the poetic, imperfect beauty of Athens.

What makes this property unique

Tucked away in the historic neighborhood of Metaxourgeio, Athenian Cypress House is a lovingly restored neoclassical home built in 1890. What makes it truly unique is its soul — a rare blend of old Athenian charm and contemporary simplicity.

Original architectural elements like tall ceilings, vintage shutters, and mosaic floors have been preserved, while thoughtful touches bring comfort and creativity into every space. The private courtyard, with its lush greenery, soft lights, and quiet elegance, offers a serene escape from the vibrant city just beyond the door.

Whether you're an artist, a traveler, or a seeker of stillness, this space invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect — with Athens, with others, or simply with yourself.
