Farouk’s place is nice❤️ Away from the hustle, but close enough to quaint refreshment bars, small stores selling ceramics and silver jewelry. Theres a travel agency a street and a half away, where you can get your trip organized, in case you just came to Athens on a limb and unprepared. The streets are small, lovely, and safe. Its a 15 minute walk to Sultanahmet area which hosts Hahia Sofia, Top Kapi Palace and the Blue Mosque❤️
