Stop reading and book this beautiful apartment.
Konstantinos is a super host and he deserves 10 plus stars for his hospitality .
He and his brother George were excellent in checking us in and then responding to our messages in a timely manner.
Konstantinos booked the taxi for us for the airport arrival and departure and the taxi driver Panos was so reliable as our departure time was 5 am.
The apartment is very centrally placed that we walked everywhere.
You walk out of the front door of the apartment building and there is the Acropoli metro station, Hamam ( bath and massage place ) and Souvlaki/Gyros eatery, convenience store, Italian restaurant.
We would people watch from balcony with our morning cuppa tea and then look at the well lit archeological objects of the Acropolis museum with the evening drinks!
The street is lined with restaurants , ice-cream and gelato shops , local shopping stores - ate authentic greek food, shopped for hats and everything else we needed during our 5 day stay in Athens.
The restaurants were open till 1 am.
Even though it is a busy street that adds to the charm, it is not noisy as no vehicles except scooters are allowed.
Many Car Rental companies and 3 Indian food restaurants are less than 500 metres away.
One street down is a hair saloon.
Dionysiou Areopagitou is the promenade for strolling at the base of Acropolis and is 50 metres from the apartment- it was nice walking there every evening /night with the locals. There are street vendors and buskers( magician/musicians ) that created the perfect ambience to chill after a long day of sightseeing/shopping.
Arios Pagos is a big rock right beneath Acropolis is great palace to watch the sunset. You will see the locals relaxing on this rock and watching the sunset. Make sure that your shoes have good treads as the rocks are very slippery. You can walk up to this place and there is no entry fee.
Plaka is less than 100 metres away and there are more places to eat and shop.
Anafiotika is another place to visit and its along the periphery of the acropolis.
Hadrian's arch, Zeus temple, Olympic stadium, Monistaraki square , Flea market, Syntagma square are all walking distance.
Crème de la crème was the view of the Parthenon from the balcony and the living, dining and bed rooms. So utterly beautiful and romantic, especially when the lights come on. You don't have to book an expensive dinner at the Hotel Grande Bretagne, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Athens to enjoy the Parthenon views.
Loved Athens - spend more time in this city and stay at this apartment and make memories.
PS - Konstantinos has other apartments too.
