My husband and I had a great stay in Athens at Irene’s Place. We initially were a little concerned about the location, but once we got our bearings and walked around we found we could easily walk to all the sites. We only had three days and we took in the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum. We walked throughout Syntagma Square, and Monastiraki Square. The old Olympic stadium.....the parks, Plaka.....It was truly amazing. We even managed to take in a concert of a Greek superstar...George Dalaras.....we had no idea who he was but he played with a full orchestra in the ancient Odean Herodes Theatre, below the Acropolis. We did not understand a word of it, but there was a sold out crowd and the atmosphere was amazing. We throughly enjoyed it.
So many cafes and restaurants. We had a great stay and Irene was excellent to deal with and very helpful. Her driver was truly amazing as well. He collected each of us at the airport, and brought us to the port when we left. He was a wealth of knowledge. Gave us lots of tips and pointers, very helpful and accommodating. I would definitely recommend have him to pick you up and bring you to the apartment.
