We stayed at Stella and Nikon’s place our very first night in Greece. We had just traveled over 20 hours from the US, and were so exhausted. Stella very kindly arranged a taxi for us at the airport, who brought us right to the door of the apartment, and gave us some great tips for our night in Athens.
We are a family of 6 adults traveling, and the apartment was completely comfortable for us, and the air conditioning kept us nice and cool in the near 100 degree heat! There was coffee for the morning, and some delicious homemade treats waiting for us. The balcony views made us all smile…so fun getting to people watch, and to watch the swifts flying in the sky above.
The Plaka neighborhood that the apartment is in also has everything you could need within a 2 blocks walk, though we highly recommend exploring much farther. Again we were there just one night, and we were able to explore the tiny cobblestone backstreets, see the Acropolis and Parthenon high above, have some delicious souvlaki for dinner and freddo in the morning.
Thank you, Stella and Nikos, for helping to start our trip off perfectly!
