AROUND

The apartment is in the very center of Athens in the Thission district between Plaka and Monastiraki, just steps from the Acropolis. Full of little pedestrian streets, it's a mix of Mediterranean, Neoclassical and modern architecture near to the ancient Agora, museums, galleries and lots of cafes and tavernas to sit and watch the street scene and nightlife.

Shrouded in ancient myth and mystery, Athens is the cradle of democracy and responsible for the birth of theater and philosophy. Situated in Parthenon’s shadow, its temples and Byzantine churches, Ottoman era mosques, bars, restaurants, cafes, monuments, and ancient archaeological treasures are all within easy reach to be able to enjoy this densely vibrant city.

For day trips out of the city, the historic seaside settlement of Chamolia along the east coast lies under an hour from the capital. Stretching as far south as Sounion, it is considered modern day Greece’s cosmopolitan Riviera, with water side promenades, resorts, excellent dining and nightlife and gorgeous Blue Flag beaches as well as the nearby archaeological site of Vravrona and the Sanctuary of Artemis.
