Elena is the consummate host. From her quick responses to our inquiries prior to traveling to meeting our taxi when we couldn't clearly communicate with the driver, and providing recommendations on where to go, what to see, and where to eat, Elena went over and above! The location of her beautiful home was primo - walking distance to any and everything in Athens including the Acropolis, Temple of Zeus, Parliament, even the starting point of our tour to Delphi - and of course her home is in The Plaka so that we could help stimulate Greece's economy easily and comfortably by sitting on rooftops enjoying a cocktail and the view(s) or by walking and sampling both the local cuisine and merchandise (many made in Greece)! Elena has an open invitation to visit us when in the U.S.A. and we cannot wait to come back to her country and experience more of what Athens (and Greece) have to offer!
