The apartment was a little on the small side, but that's just fine because we spent all of our waking time seeing the sights. It's a half mile to three quarters of a mile downhill to the Plaka. A bit over a mile (2.4 km) walk to the Acropolis. The apartment is up on a hill, below Mount Lycabettus, so it can be trudge to walk back to the apartment at the end of the day's sightseeing. For Americans, there are three Starbucks within 22 minutes walk.
