Tyto Alba Habitat draws its inspiration from the owl of the goddess Athena, the symbol of wisdom, learning and timeless observation. In ancient Greece, the owl held a central place in the myth and tradition of the city of Athens, as it was protected and lived on the Acropolis, watching over Athenian commerce, arts and everyday life. With its large, bright eyes, the owl could discern the truth and see what remained hidden from many, while it was accompanied by the “inner light” that gave it night vision.
This sense of calm awareness and deep connection to the city’s rhythm is what inspires us.

This wisdom and the power of observation inspire Tyto Alba Habitat, located 5 minutes from the Acropolis and offering its visitors a home away from home to experience the rich history and the vibrancy of the present. Our presence here is more than hospitality—it’s a tribute to the intellectual heritage, thoughtful spirit, and cultural depth that Athena’s owl represents.
