    A very nice apartment, located in the center. You can reach all the places to visit on foot, only if you visit Piraeus or the beach you need means of transport. A generous living room, a very well equipped kitchen, all rooms had their own...

    The apartment is beautifully renovated, very comfortable' and in a great location in Kolonaki. The showers needed to be a bit cleaner, no place to hang towels in main bathroom.

Beneath the outdoor cinema sits Hadrian’s reservoir, one of the most overlooked Athenian landmarks. Even though visitors are not allowed to enter the building, the 2nd-century AD reservoir which was providing water supplies to the area is of great historical significance and is an integral part of the neighborhood’s history.
