Although we didn't get the chance to meet with Rania, she organised our pick up from the airport and we were settled into our wonderful apartment by the driver. Nestled below the Acropolis, minutes from the Plaka's restaurants and nightlife, we ambled through the village down to the square. Perfect location, spotlessly clean apartment. Lovely roof terrace, air con which was very welcome in the hot Athens days. Fridge with extras and TV and stereo. All the comforts and quietly located above the Plaka's hustle and bustle. Again not far to the Temple of Zeus. My sister and I enjoyed cocktails on the roof terrace whilst looking across Athen's rooftops. Highly recommend staying at Rania's apartment, and yes it's definitely in the shadow of the Acropolis.
