Altough the studio might be a bit high up in Upper Town, still its location was even better than expected. Across the street is the Eptapyrgion Castle and by walking10min downhill you come across the emblematic Trigonion Castle - both with breathtaking views of the city. Then, you can take the old stairs all the way down to the center and feel the athmosphere of the old picturesque city. The stairs will lead you almost straight to the Rotunda and the Arch. To return back home, you can always take a bus or taxi;-) It's quite a climb, yet, worth doing it at least once to admire the ancient walls throughout the Upper Town.

Elina was an excellent host from the very first moment. Very quick at responding to any question or request and very friendly. Her studio is modern, clean and very hospitable. Big pluses were the breakfast and very nice bath amenities.

In a few words, this is a very good choice if you want to avoid the buslting city center (although it's still close) and experience a more original face of Thessaloniki.
