Wow! What an amazing trip! We had a hiccup at the beginning of our honeymoon. We arrived at the airport to leave for Greece and found out my husband's passport had to have three months pass the expected return date...his expired a month after our expected return. Yikes! So, obviously we were pretty distraught and we contacted George to update him on our delayed arrival and he was amazingly patient and asked if we needed any advice on what to do while we were stuck in NY waiting on a same day passport!
When we finally arrived to the apartment to say we were wowed by the location in an understatement. It is literally 'Right under the Acropolis" as advertised! You are within a 5-10 minute walk to the Acropolis entrance, Trip Advisor recommended restaurants, Acropolis museum (which was expansive and filled with fascinating artifacts), shops to purchase souvenirs, remains of Zeus' Temple and the Metro. The metro was down while we were there, but Taxis were of plenty and we were shocked to know that Uber was available, so we used Uber to get to and from the airport.
George sent us an email upon arrival describing some of his favorite things to do/see and we used it as checklist while we were there. The man definitely has good taste!
The apartment itself was cozy and clean. It has a fully equipped kitchen, no microwave, but we were able to warm left over food up using the oven.
Even though are trip was cut short due to an passport oversight, the perfectly located apartment allowed for us to be able to maximize our time in Greece. We both felt like we were able to hit all the must-sees in Athens!
