It is rare privilege to be welcomed into Lefteris’ urban oasis. From the typical residential street, open the red gate and suddenly you are in an enchanted garden. A path lined with fragrant blossoms, bougainvillea and climbing roses leads you to an inner courtyard of calm- a gesture of peace that continues throughout the thoughtfully designed and artistically appointed house. Inside, all comforts and niceties are provided: fast wifi, a local cell phone with his number on speed dial, dreamy bath/shower, good beds, well-equipped kitchen, and fabulous sound system. Yes, we were greeted with fresh fruit, flowers and refreshments!
Lefteris is a warm, generous and engaging host with a gift for enhancing a traveler’s experience of his special space and his inviting neighbourhood. The morning after our arrival he guided us on a little walk introducing us to local restauranteurs, pointing out conveniences, and showing us the ‘short cut’ to the Acropolis through the footpaths of Filopappou Hill. What a treat! He was available for all inquiries from the moment we booked our stay. Eager to help, attentive to details, anticipating needs, and all with a gentle ease that inspires both gratitude and respect. The hospitality of the Greeks is legendary. If you are fortunate to be a guest of Lefteris, you will understand why.
