Manolis had arranged pick up from the airport and was waiting for us at the apartment.
The surrounding areas looked bit shady with lot of graffiti, but Manolis reassured us that it is very safe to move around. We later realised that graffitis are very common in Greece..
There are good eateries at walking distance .The Acropolis /Plaka is just 5 minutes walk from the apartment . There is a supermarket near by to get groceries.
The thesio station is nearby and you can take train to various destinations including the port for ferries.
The Monastreaki and flea market is 10-12 minute walk from the apartment. Again, lots of eateries and shopping choices.
Manolis was always contactable to give guidance.
The apartment was immaculate , but it is on the second floor and there is no lifts, so may not be convenient for the elderly.
