Monastik.
Eleven glass-walled suites in Mets, each looking toward the Acropolis.
Monastik Living sits on a hillside street in Mets, one of Athens’s quietest residential neighbourhoods. Designed by Athens-based architects George Gavalas and Giannis Mourikis, the eleven suites feature glass walls, natural materials — stone, clay, marble, black sheet metal — and a curated collection of Greek art and objects. Many rooms look directly at the Acropolis. A rooftop terrace with plunge pool is shared by all guests.
"Eleven suites, each facing the Acropolis. Materials chosen to echo the Sacred Rock they look toward."
Monastik Living occupies a hillside building on Karea Street in Mets — a quiet, residential neighbourhood tucked between the Panathenaic Stadium and Pangrati. From the street it’s unassuming. Inside, architects George Gavalas and Giannis Mourikis have created something precise: eleven glass-walled suites bathed in natural light, with materials chosen for their relationship to the city around them.
Stone, clay, wood, black sheet metal, marble, glass. The palette and textures were selected to echo the Sacred Rock of the Acropolis — a design conversation between the building and the hill it faces. Throughout the rooms, a curated collection of Greek artwork and objects grounds the interiors in place. Many suites look directly at the Parthenon; a few have private patios.
A shared rooftop terrace with a plunge pool opens to the sky — and to one of the better views of the illuminated Acropolis after dark. Rooms come with Marshall speakers, kitchenettes, Nespresso, and welcome baskets of local produce. The neighbourhood is walkable: the Panathenaic Stadium five minutes on foot, the cafés of Pangrati a few blocks further.
