Helen and her family added a magical touch to our stay in Athens. Helen's sister coordinated, and their mother met us right on time. Seeing the Acropolis from the breakfast table surreally welcomed us every morning. And Helen's place showcased her artistry: a homemade chair here, an amazing picture there, and some intriguing spices for air freshness. My traveling companion told me she was even learning decorative tips! If I come back to Athens, I will check here first.
