We traveled to Greece from the US to attend a destination wedding along with another couple. We had a fantastic time in Athens touring the Acropolis and the city center. Rachel's apartment was in an excellent location - easy walking to so many great locations of interest (touring, shopping, dining). Rachel even arranged for us to be picked up at the airport. Having her family friend George, a taxi driver, there with our names on a sign, made the start of our trip easy and fun. He was like a tour guide as we entered the city. We even called him back up four days later when we needed to head back to the airport. You wont need a car at this location to enjoy your stay. Travelers arriving directly from the US in the early morning will need to have a plan for their luggage if their check-in time is late in the day.
