Eleni’s apartment is the perfect base for exploring Athens. We only used the metro to get to and from the airport (roughly 1hr15 from door to door) and for a day trip to Vougliameni. The apartment is in a quiet neighbourhood but only a 100m walk from the lively streets of Thissio, with restaurants, bars and street stalls. The large balcony has a view of the Acropolis. We walked to all of the attractions on the 5 day tourist pass, as well as Mount Lycabettus and Hill of the Muses to name a few. There is a decent supermarket about 300m away. We self catered for most of our meals and out of all of the AirBnB places we have stayed this was by far the best one, with a kitchen full of everything you could need to make meals and useful breakfast bits like toast, coffee, tea and marmalade. It was a lovely big comfy bed and ample living space. We were met by Eleni’s Aunty and Eleni replied promptly to any questions we had. Also thank you Eleni for the wine. I could write an esssy on all the reasons people should stay here 🙂
