The Neighborhood:
The area:
This charming apartment sits at the base of historic Lycabettus Hill, the highest point in Athens. We highly recommend a visit to the summit, either via a steep climb or on the cable car (funicular), to enjoy the unforgettable views of Athens! You'll find a restaurant/cafe and a church at the summit.
East of the apartment, on the other side of the Mount, is Kolonaki. This upscale district is highly sought-after by Athenians and tourists. Most cultural sites are within an easy 20 - 30 minute walk of the apartment.
A great way to see Athens is on foot with leisurely strolls. Be sure to enjoy Kolonaki's scenic streets and broad sidewalks. Kolonaki has many upscale residences, boutiques, cafes, and world-class restaurants. There are also upscale businesses tucked discreetly into the classically-styled buildings.
