Sunny and spacious 4th floor apartment in the heart of Athens, just a few minutes from all basic ancient monuments! Situated in Thisio/Plaka area with a superb view to Gazi (the most upcoming neighbourhood)!
The apartment is spacious and beautifully decorated. It offers a comfortable big sofa which unfolds to a big double bed, a dinning table so you can enjoy having friends around and cooking and one bedroom with one double bed. One or two more person can easily sleep on the couch in the living room. There is a big balcony with a view to the area of Gkazi where the nightlife of Athens beats and a terrace with a view of Acropolis, Lycabettus, Mars Hill and Thissio.
Situated in the liveliest area of Athens, most favorite among tourists, spot of the city, just 3 minutes from the "Kerameikos" Metro station (line 3) that connects you directly with Athens International Airport and just 5 minutes from the ''Thissio'' Metro station (line 1) that connects you directly with the port of Piraeus. Its location is very close to the famous Thissio, Monastiraki square, and Psiri area with its beautiful restaurants. Plaka, is in front of your door. All nightlife bars and restaurants are nearby. All monuments are obviously under your feet. Acropolis museum is a pleasant 15 mins walk. Choosing my apartment for your exquisite and quality stay, you can visit on foot the most important historical sites of Athens. Furthermore, you are only 15 minutes walking distance from Kolonaki, the most chic shopping area of Greece. Equally, the hip and trendy Gkazi area with its boasting nightlife is only 2 mins walk. Nonetheless, Athens' best quality Restaurants, night clubs, and coffee places are all a short walk away from my apartment.

My telephone number and email will be given to you in order to contact me in case you need anything. A brochure of all the basic information about the house and the neighborhood will be given to you in order to accommodate your stay in Athens.
Apartment's location makes it unbeatable. It's located exactly in the city center, at the most famous area of Athens (Gazi and Thissio) where the heart of old Athens beats. The apartment is exactly at Iraklidon street where the famous cafe and restaurants are. Iraklidon street is one of the most famous and rich streets of Athens as the same street leads to Acropolis and Parthenon! This area is for sure the best place to stay when visiting the city.
You can easily reach the historical Philopappos hill, where Pnyx and Philopappos monument are, and wander around as there are nice paths all over the hill and also parts with panoramic views (also nice sun-sets). You can enjoy sun-bathing or reading a book lying under a tree and relaxing with the bird sounds.
After crossing the hill (15 min walk) you reach Acropolis hill, Acropolis museum and Ancient Agora, all three not to be missed sites. Other most interesting, nearby areas, which can also be reached easily on foot, are Plaka (ask the way to Anafiotika – you will be impressed), Kerameikos, Monastiraki and its Flea Market, Thisseion, Dionyssiou Areopagitou and Apostolou Pavlou pedestrian zones and Ermou Street (the main shopping street in Athens). They are all touristy places with cafes, restaurants and shops without traffic and the busy atmosphere of other places in Athens.
Transportation is a main reason. The area is very well serviced by many metro stations, bus and tram. There are at least 3 metro stations near the apartment including the central metro station of the city, where the airport train arrives and the bus from the airport as well. There is also the one and only tram line of the city departing close by, which it can transports you to the south suburbs of Athens, where the best beaches are.
The house is situated in a:
-5 min walking distance to M3 metro station (Kerameikos-connection to Monastiraki, Syntagma square and Airport)
-5 min walking distance to M1 metro station (Thissio-connection to Pireaus port)
What I like the most of this area is the fact that it is always alive, full of things to do, on a walking distance. Whatever you might need is on your feet. Acropolis is a 15 mins walk. Plaka, the small village under the Acropolis, is practically your neighborhood. Movies, theaters, Acropolis museum, the best restaurants of the city, all are around.
Lately this area became the place to be, for its nightlife as well. The hippiest bars and tavernas of the city are located here. This is the place, us Greeks, we go out the most, during the nights as well.
Another plus of staying here is security. Being so close to the Acropolis and the central square of the city means that Police is always around.
The truth is, that there are no new apartments in this area as it is the preserved old historical center. Nearby there are the great big luxury hotels of Athens, like Grande Bretagne Hotel and King George Hotel, but as you can imagine they offer this privilege, staying at this very central location, at a high price.
