Ederlezi Living incorporates the best of bohemian traditions in the vibrant Psyrri
Ederlezi Living boutique hotel lives up to its name as it refers to a Roma festival celebrating springtime. Do not be misled by the modern facade of the building, the interior is pure rustic elegance. Wherever you are in Ederlezi Living, you will only see natural materials – wood, sculptured marble, woven straw. And everywhere you go, you will experience thoughtful service and attention to detail. From the bottle of wine as a welcoming gift to the bikes that you can borrow to explore the city, and even the complimentary earplugs that are there just in case weekend nights are too lively for your taste.
And that rooftop garden! You can just stretch out and relax among swinging hammocks and olive trees. Certainly, your time in Athens should include a place to relax and unwind, and here it is!

Rooms Overview
Named after the gypsy daughters of spring, the eight rooms of the Ederlezi are a delightful invitation to relax and reconnect with nature. The rooms are rich in bohemian design details: a polished branch to hang your clothes upon, crochetwork, rugs made of natural fibres… Every piece of furniture is hand-crafted from chestnut wood with a non-conformist spirit, such as the ladder holding the towels, or the suitcase holder supported by stones of white Greek marble.
Flora
Flora, the most spacious suite of the Ederlezi Boutique hotel, can welcome up to four guests. Enter a striking hallway of exposed stonework to find the large light-filled living room with a sofa bed, dining table and the masterpiece – a stunningly designed bench handmade from a single piece of chestnut wood. The bedroom has minimal yet cosy furnishings, with a queen-sized bed and trunk-design side tables. The suite has a small lobby with a kitchenette.
Smagrada
The crowning glory of this spacious room is its stunning panoramic balcony, overlooking Psyrri. The light entering from the large windows adds to the aura of calmness created by the sleek decor and natural materials.
Maira
Maira is designed for two guests, who can truly relax in style in the living room with its cosy sofa, exposed stone wall and hidden lighting. The bedroom has minimal yet cosy furnishings with a queen-sized bed and trunk-design side tables.
Olivia
This room certainly lives up to its name, Olivia, the anti-conformist sister. It is the only room with two double bunk beds and a large chestnut table that can accommodate up to four guests.
Carmen & Allegra
Carmen and Allegra can accommodate up to two people into a truly bohemian design, painted in earthy colours and minimally decorated with wooden furniture. You can unwind overlooking the distinctive Psyrri neighbourhood while enjoying the cooling flow of air from the ceiling fan.
Luna & Jasmina
Walk up to the second floor to access these cosy rooms that welcome a maximum of two guests to the comfortable hand-crafted queen-sized beds with Ederlezi signature design. These tastefully furnished rooms are named after the youngest sister Luna and the fighter Jasmine. Both have an en-suite shower booth and a separate WC.

Breakfast & More
At the time we visited Ederlesi, the hotel’s restaurant was under construction on the ground floor of the building, and will soon provide a truly Greek culinary experience with organic local products. The hotel’s cellar was also under construction, and aims to offer a variety of Greek wines and spirits to accompany the fantastic range of food options!
