This was my second stay in this gem of an apartment in Athens. Iason is an excellent host, offering great suggestions for itineraries through the city as well as restaurant and museum recommendations. His apartment handbook is what only a true native Athenian can offer: an insider's guide to the sights, sounds, and rich aromas of this ancient metropolis with an exciting modern feel. I especially enjoyed a walking tour of the neighborhood with an erudite guide, and evenings spent on the expansive terrace amidst various trees and flowering plants. You could opt for a generic hotel but for a truly rich experience I recommend this home as a perfect base for exploring Athens.
