We have just returned from a memorable six-day stay with Giannis and his son in their beautiful home in Thissio, Athens. From the moment we were met at the local metro station by Giannis' cousin, Maximos, we were made to feel welcome and at home. Our room and bathroom were very comfortable and immaculate and we were made to feel equally at home in the living room, kitchen and garden. Giannis is an amazing and generous host, always ready to share information – everything from history, politics and tips about Athens to helping me with the names of local herbs and introducing me to Cretan mountain tea! Location-wise the house is perfect: a few minutes' walk to the historic sites, restaurants, bars and metro and you can get to the beaches by metro and tram in about one hour.
Thank you so much for making our time in Athens so great. We hope to see you again!
Avril and Chris.
