I arrived at Maria's around 7p.m. after landing in Athens that day. Maria showed me the flat and then asked if I wanted to go to a beach party she was going to later. I said yes. Before the party we drove around Athens and saw various places, stopping for coffee and for a drink with one of Maria's friends. I got back to the flat late in the morning. The flat is great, and is on the top floor so there are good views over Athens. It is also conveniently located for getting into the centre, being only about 5 minutes on the metro to Syntagma square. It is well furnised and the bedroom has AC which is a relief after being out in the sun all day. The area around the apartment felt safe.
