This luxurious two bedroom, 1 bathroom condo is located in the exclusive area of Kolonaki,
a stone's throw from the American Embassy, at the foot of Lycabettus hill which is the highest
point in Athens. It is a 5-10 minute walk in any direction from the shopping and business center
of the city, as well as being close to all of Athens' major sites.
The apartment which faces a park is ideally located on a very quiet street and is at
a 2 minute walk to the American embassy and a 5 minute walk to the Megaron
Mousikis metro station, which is on a straight line to and from the airport. It is ideal
for a couple with 1-3 children - crib provided , as it also has a large living room
and kitchen, along with a spacious veranda where you can enjoy your morning coffee, or
dinner while enjoying a view of the park. It is also priviledged for those who love walking
or jogging as Lycabettus hill with its grove is the best place to enjoy it in Athens any
time of the day or year.
A small church of saint George crowns the summit of Lycabettus Hill and slightly lower is an
open-air theatre, where concerts and musicals take place. Further you will find a café and a
restaurant. There is a funicular at the bottom of the hill (on Ploutarchou street) that takes you
to the top, but you can also drive up to the theatre. One may also choose to walk up to the top
of the hill. Whichever method of transport you choose you are rewarded with a spectacular
360˚ view of the city below plus the sparkling sea, especially on a clear day.

Age and collections up to the Classical period.

the temple of Olympian Zeus, the Kerameikos (ancient Greek cemetry) the ancient theatre of Dionysos, the new
Acropolis museum, plus the Plaka with its narrow streets and an abundance of shops and restaurants (tavernas),
