What a great stay we had at Chysanthi and Marios's apartment in Exarchia, a vibrant neighborhood in Athens. I could hardly believe my eyes when the taxi driver pulled into a neighborhood in Athens filled with trees, wall murals, graffiti, cafes, restaurants and bookstores. I thought to myself, "This area is alive!"
Their apartment is the perfect place from which to explore both the neighborhood and the rest of Athens. It's a cozy, comfortable and personal "home away from home" equipped with every amenity, including beach equipment.
Marios brought some of his mother's home-made tomato sauce as well as the most delicious Greek honey produced by his friend and provided useful tips for day trips out of the city.
We miss Athens, miss the apartment and intend to return. A big thank you to Chrysanthis and Marios.
