Sun ripened tomatos from the Farmer's Market... make a Greek salad at home!
Location: Athens, Attica, Central Greece, Greece, Europe (1.3 Km (0.8 Mile) To Historical Center (Acropolis, Syndagma)) View Map
Accommodations: Apartment, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
I am sure you will thoroughly enjoy your stay here in the area of central Athens known as Panormou-Abelokipoi. Although the Metro (subway) can get you to Syndagma Square in the Historical Center in less than 7 minutes (just 4 stops away) why not walk? ... Syndagma Square is only 1300 meters away (that's a little less than a mile .. actually it's 0.8 of a mile!)
As I mentioned, the Metro (subway... which is only a few blocks from the apartment) will get you anywhere you need to go in ease... however, we know what it's like to be weary, tired and jet-lagged after a trip so as a complimentary amenity, we'll send over our friend Spiro, the taxi driver, to pick you up from Athens International Airport or the Port of Pireus to pick you up and drive you straight to the apartment.
Now you are probably wondering... where and what exactly IS this Panormou area? The Panormou residential district in Ambelokipi actually holds the charm of a typical Athenian neighbourhood, where you can experience the real Athenian culture. In older times it used to have vine gardens, that's why the name Ambelokipi (ambeli in Greek means vine). On sight are traditional outdoor cafes and restaurants, night clubs and pubs, Greek style tavernas featuring delicious Greek cuisine and the famous Greek souvlaki, churches, bus stops, metro station (airport line), the famous Athens Music Hall, the American Embassy, open air street flea and fruit market (every Saturday morning)- and other stores and shops typical of the Athens center environment. Big and handy supermarkets are also nearby within walking distance, as well as traditional bakeries, butcher shops, pastry shops etc. Popular home delivery services are also available.
This 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom brand new apartment is located on the first floor of a single family owned apartment building. This way.. you are assured that curious neighbours won't be asking you any strange questions and that your privacy is strictly ensured. Complete with WiFi, Washer, Dryer, sheets, towels and even fresh coffee, you are sure to feel more than at home in this spacious home, as well as relaxed! The Metro Station (a quick 3 minutes walk away) is available to get you down town into the heart of the Historical Center within minutes... unless you choose to walk.
Your sleep won't be interrupted by the usual noise of Athens City as we are located on a small side street with little traffic. This way you'll be refreshed while exploring Athens as well as the variety of restaurants, shops, and scenic venues Panormou Square offers.
Our apartment also features an alarm system, CCTV front door buzzer, central heating with autonomy, electric shutters, new furniture throughout, top security entrance door, fully air-conditioned.
A mobile phone available upon request.... and of course, you'll have free wi-fi internet access available 24 hours a day.
***LEARN GREEK IN GREECE***
Since you probably know and adhere to the old saying "IT'S ALL GREEK TO ME!" ... well, we can fix that! Along with your reservation with our apartment we offer FREE GREEK LESSONS from Hellena, a professor of the English Language at the University of Athens (as well as the owner of this apartment) !!! This way you'll learn the basics of this beautiful and ancient language and will coherently know how to ask for your glass of Ouzo at a tavern, for the bill at a restaurant and one of the most important questions... "Where's the bathroom?" ... you'll leave Greece almost a native! (The free Greek lessons which Hellena offers to her guests are arranged upon your arrival and subject to her availabilty)

Why the Owner Chose Athens
The area of Panormou let's you truly experience the real Athenian daily life... as well as explore the antiquities this wonderful city hosts in ease.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
My favourite "activity" aside the antiquities, is the Farmer's Market on Saturdays. Each weekend, along the square, the local produce people set up tables and offer a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables for sale. It really makes for a great photo opportunity as well as a chance to sample the famed rich flavors of Greek produce. Other sellers join the market selling a myriad of wares... everything from designer "knock-off" underwear to exotic gauze dresses and silver jewellery. It's really a neat experience… as well as a great fun.. especially if you like a bargain... and to bargain!
Also... FREE GREEK LESSONS !!! Come to Athens, Greece, stay here and learn some Greek in Hellena's free Greek classes, offered to her guests. LEARN GREEK IN GREECE(or brush up your English if you are not a native speaker....)*lessons arranged upon arrival depending on teacher's availability
If you choose not to eat out at one of the many restaurants in our neighborhood, you and your family can shop for all the groceries you need at our local super market.
The Panormou Metro Station on Panormou Square gets us down to the Historical Center in just a few minutes if we decide we're too lazy to walk!

“Thank you so much for making our stay in Athens a pleasant experience. Everything in the apartment was perfect. One would think that as your first guest there would have been “glitches”. Instead EVERYTHING could not have been more perfect. Needless to say, the warmth and friendliness you both displayed added greatly to our delight.”

Thank you Eleni, You should be very proud of your Loudia apartment. The accommodations were spotless and equipped with absolutely everything. The location was close to the Akropolis, yet we still felt part of the local Greek neighbourhood – the farmers market was a lot of fun. Eleni is the most considerate and kind host! Thank you

Thank you for sharing your lovely apartment with an excellent location. Although our stay was short we were provided with everything we needed. With the Metro station nearby we were able to early visit the ancient sites. Although it was November we were lucky enough to have nice weather. We will definitely recommend your apartment to friends or family visiting Athens. If we return to Athens (and we hope we do) we will be contacting you
