Our take
Okupa is ideal for travelers who appreciate a lively social atmosphere and want to experience Athens from above. Its rooftop pool, bar, and restaurant with live music cater to those seeking an energetic evening with panoramic city views. However, guests looking for a quiet, secluded retreat might find the vibrant ambiance a bit too bustling, especially during peak hours.
- ✓Head to the rooftop bar just before sunset to secure a prime spot by the pool and watch the city light up.
- ✓Consider dining at the rooftop restaurant for dinner to enjoy Greek cuisine accompanied by live music and night views.
- ✓If you prefer a quieter experience, visit the pool area earlier in the day before the evening crowds arrive.

Why guests love itLive music on the roof was what drew a group of friends to Okupa, and the rooftop pool, bar and restaurant became the centre of their trip. Afternoons were spent swimming with the city spread out around them, evenings over Greek and Mediterranean plates as the band started and the skyline lit up. Their balcony offered a quieter view in the morning. Guests wanting silence should know the roof can get busy and loud at peak hours.
