Beautiful new apartment within 30 minutes walk to main attractions of Athens and our host provided heaps of great recommendations including amazing gyros just around the corner. Electric blinds were also a bonus.
However, beware of the tear gas from the riot police on the way, unfortunately on our walk home we experienced the burning sensation in our eyes first hand.
Facebook search ‘Exarchia tourism’ if you’d like a welcoming visit from the locals.
In saying this we always felt safe in the area but we think it’s important to be informed as we were caught a little off guard.
