Athens a country full of amazing history, but stay in Iason home and you will get to see both side of Athens the past and the present.
The apartment is a 3 minute walk to the National Archaeological Museum of Athens and the university. The area like others is covered in wall art and graffiti, some beautiful images some political messages. I found it fascinating to see this side of Athens,. The people I met were so friendly, I eat in some student cafes, food was good and amazing value.
Most of the time I walked but from the museum you can hop on one of the many sight seeing tours, I found useful as it helped me get my baring.
Most morning I walked to Syntagma Square which is around 15 minutes, there are lots of place you can have a coffee and a rest along the way and you will see lots of famous landmarks too.
I am a mature female who travelled alone and didn't know anyone is Athens, I felt completely safe, I got lost and found some amazing sights. I went to local places to eat and never had a bad meal.
Iason was overseas when I was in Athens but he still took the time to get in touch to make sure I was enjoying my stay.
Thomas (Guest Manager) & Mara (House Keeper) where also brilliant, made suggestions of where to eat, recommended places to visit, really friendly and interested in what I have been doing during my stay.
