Ranina's downtown Athens apartment was great - what a great location and a great space! Our family stayed only three days, but we were able to see many of the sights of Athens easily (even walking with an 8 and 10 year-old). There are grocery stores, taverns and bakeries nearby. What an awesome deck! Ranina was a great hostess - even meeting us at the bus stop to walk us to the apartment so we wouldn't get lost and arranging a taxi to the airport at the end of our stay. We would highly recommend this apartment for your stay in Athens - it was great to be so close to the action, but in a quiet, residential area!
