I loved Athens and staying with Lilly and her housemates. The photos are a good representation of the house, which is lovely and slightly quirky. It is also in a perfect location for exploring the city, being just a 10 minute walk to the National Gardens, 15 minutes to the Acropolis, and even closer to Syntagma and Monastiraki Squares. There are lots of lovely bars, restaurants and cafes close by, plus jewellery, arts and craft shops.

Lilly, Mimi and Yannis were all very friendly and welcoming and I am already wondering when I might be able to go back and visit!
