Lefteris' family offered a warm welcome and kindly offered to meet and drive us to the house from the very nearby metro station, Petralona. It's just a few stops to the centre of town.

The home is architecturally unique, having been built by Lefteris himself and offers a light, bright, spacious and comfortable base from which to explore the city and is perfect for two or more.

We were shown around and everything about the house was clearly explained to us after we arrived.

Because of the stormy weather on our first evening, we lost power in the living room but Lefteris' mother who lives a few streets away came over immediately with two big lamps and extension leads to ensure the space was still beautifully lit! Great service!

The quiet neighbourhood, Petralona, has dozens of lovely tavernas and the square, just a 1 minute walk away, is a lovely place for dinner or a drink outside and a great way to experience a more local Greek atmosphere, away from the busier touristy parts.

Overall our experience was a smooth and enjoyable one and we would definitely recommend a stay at Lefteris' home.
