This is a wonderful part of downtown Athens that offers proximity to some of the most important landmarks of the world, as well as great options for dining or meeting with business partners and friends. The area is best explored on foot – everything you need, from bustling cafes and bars to quaint tavernas, modern eateries and chic shopping, is just around the corner. Plus, bus and metro connections are excellent, when you want to venture beyond the limits of the city center – every corner of which, is literally accessible by foot.
