Choosing my apartment for your exquisite and quality stay, you can visit on foot the most important historical sites of Athens.
The apartment is in Kypseli neighbourhood , the heart of Athens.
A walk through Kypseli will bring you face to face with the collision of the old and new Athens. Pick any street and you will find beautiful old houses and Bauhaus and art-deco apartment buildings side by side with some of the most ghastly concrete buildings from the seventies and eighties.
In Kypseli you will find something interesting on every block, whether it is an old coffee shop that has been roasting and grinding beans since 1914, or a shop for magicians, Polish delis, art gallery frame shops, African, Hungarian, Russian and Middle East grocery stores, and tiny individual shops, the kind that high rents have driven out of central Athens. With lots of restaurants, many traditional and Greek, three massive laiki agoras(farmer's markets), rembetika clubs, cafes on Fokionos Negri, lots of artists, actors, actresses, poets, musicians, and an activist community that cares about the neighborhood, Kypseli is certainly one of the more interesting places to visit, or live, in Athens. There are also many international calling centers, small internet shops and (website hidden) shops for sending money home, African hair salons, Chinese clothing shops and frame shops that also serve as art galleries and just about everything but tourist shops in Kypseli.
Furthermore, you are only 15 minutes walking distance from Kolonaki, the most chic shopping area of Greece, and ten minutes from the National Archaeological Museum .
