If you are looking for a beautiful apartment in Athens, look no further!! The weather in May is incredible!! The apartment itself is in a very cute building in a quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to all main attractions (Acropolis, Parthenon, shopping, restaurants, cafes and bars) there is a street market on the next street over on fridays with fresh fruits and vegetables as well as fresh flowers that you can smell as soon as you turn the corner. We enjoyed eating at Bite Box and Neratzia Cafe Bistro a couple different times, the food is great, inexpensive, the people are very welcoming and both have a great vibe!! We never rented a car or took a taxi except to and from the airport and ferry port because everything was so accessible. This is hands down one of the best experiences we’ve had and we are big travelers. Alexander is an incredible host, quick to respond, informative, friendly and provided a map of the area with markets and recommendations.
The unit doesn’t have a washer but there are great laundromats everywhere (5 min walk) and cafes to eat or drink while you wait for your clothes to finish.
Without a microwave to reheat food, we used it as an excuse to go to more places to eat which were all fantastic!!
The patio is a wonderful place to relax for coffee in the morning or enjoy the breeze in the afternoon or evening. You can hear the birds singing in the neighborhood which made it even more picturesque. We will definitely return to Athens after our experience and will stay at Alexander’s place!!
