It is a great location being situated in a residential area, which is very close to the city centre and directly adjacent to what we considered its greatest museum (we spent a full day there, coming back to the flat for a lunch break).

There are lots of really good local restaurants near by and a number of supermarkets, which is great if you like cooking local cuisine. Also, check out the Saturday market which is only a few streets away for a plentiful supply of the most amazing local fruit and veg produce together with artisan foods.

Christos was a great host and was very helpful. He is great company too, if you have the opportunity to spend some time with him as we did.

Christos' flat is the perfect location for an extended or short stay (we stayed for a week). The kitchen is well equipped for cooking, and the broadband is as fast as you'd like.

I'd really recommend a one day trip to the nearby Greek islands by cruise boat, the best deals for this we found are from Astoria Travel, which is a 10 minute walk from the flat. It costs around €65 depending on time of year and is very good value.
