Without Evaggelia, our first visit to Athens would have been very different. She picked us up on a street corner late at night after our arrival and drove us to her apartment (Athens addresses can be confusing!) with our luggage. She made sure we were all set up for our stay. Her incredibly warm welcome was a lovely introduction to Greece for us. The apartment was tidy and cozy–and most importantly for us–close to College Year in Athens, where our son was enrolled. The studio has everything you need to live, even a washing machine. No frills and not many luxuries, though great for anyone on a budget; the price was right! The neighborhood, Pangrati, was buzzing with cafés and tavernas, and about 20 minutes walking to the Acropolis, old Athens, the Agora, and many museums. A great base of operations for touring Greece!
