With its handy position to the ancient sites, three queen sized bedrooms and air-conditioning, Emmanouil’s place provided a good base to explore Athens in August. It is in pretty easy walking distance from the Acropolis and its museum, the Ancient Agora and the Plaka area. During our three night stay, we enjoyed a meal at the nearby Strofi Restaurant with its Acropolis view and we also took public transport to the National Archeological Museum and a 70km taxi ride south along the coast to see the sun set at the Temple of Poseidon. The owner was quick to respond with recommendations and local advice and immediately helped us to solve a door lock issue at 10pm one evening.
