Elias has created an amazing home- an oasis of tranquility amidst bustling Athens. The house and garden are beautiful and very relaxing, and Elias was such a warm and welcoming host. He provided directions and restaurant recommendations when asked, and was very thoughtful and left fresh flowers for us on the deck. The neighborhood in central Athens was great- right on the metro line, but not touristy. There are great restaurants and an amazing bakery just down the street. It's a perfect place for exploring Athens and the surrounding area, or for just enjoying a leisurely vacation. My only regrets were that we couldn't stay longer and didn't have a chance to get to know Elias better. We would stay here again in a heartbeat- and hope that we're able to sometime.
