My girlfriend and I had the great pleasure of staying at the Elissos for 8 days. The place itself is unique – a succesful theatre with performances on in wintertime - the walls are covered with interesting artistic posters and pictures, a piano in the main room and a little balcony where its possible to enjoy a quiet cigarette and a cup of coffee away from stress of the city. The kitchen area has fridge, cutlery, etc. which allows one to prepare salads, breakfasts, etc. The lack of a stove was not any problem at all, as Athens boasts a great variety of restaurants in all price ranges.
Last (but not least at all) we also had the great pleasure of acquainting Vassilis, the theatre's leader and host, who with a genuine interest made everything possible to secure that our stay in Athens went well. Vassilis, with a great knowledge and an profound ability to share with others, helped opening up the city's many places and stories. We will undoubtedly revisit.
