Monsieur Didot

A bedroom at Monsieur Didot.

Sina 48, Athina 106 72, Greece

There are only six bedrooms in this elegant neoclassical townhouse at the far end of the Kolonaki neighborhood. It’s the sort of place you have to know about to find, but Yoko Ono and John Lennon spent a few days here when they visited the city in the 1970s. The interiors are very much no frills—a few plants here and there, bookcases, marble staircases, and sparse but comfortable bedrooms. There’s an adorable terrace where the owners and best friends, Natalia Georgopoulou and Margarita Papaioannou, serve breakfast. Greek yogurt, of course. —Elena Clavarino
