Acropolis is probably the most famous neighborhood in Athens owing to the presence of the magnificent ancient monument, crowned by the Parthenon and more recently the presence of the Acropolis Museum (here is our apartment). Quiet and well preserved, the neighborhood welcomes thousands of visitors every year and its features include poise and old world charm.
Attractions abound in this neighborhood with the Acropolis itself in the first place. The Acropolis Museum is a must see when visiting Athens and visitors are always pleasantly surprised and awed by the beauty and harmony of the exhibits. Walking through Makrigianni street -where the apartment is-you will reach the main pedestrian street, Dionysiou Areopagitou, the ancient theatre of Dionysus is on your right and further on the Herodus Atticus theatre, where every summer concerts are held. The Ilias Lalaounis Jewelry Museum, with its precious collections is also very interesting to visit.
Restaurants and cafes are to be found in all types, from gourmet Italian trattoria Aglio, Olio and Peperoncino, to regional Greek cuisine Mani-Mani famous for their menu based on local farms produce, to high class Dionyos, with the breathtaking view of the Acropolis, favored location for visiting celebrities and politicians, to celebrated Daphne, another favorite of the jet set.
Nightlife is centered on pedestrian Makrygianni street, with cafes and bars rubbing shoulders. The tendency is all day locales which operate as bars in the evenings. Regal and Elaia are two of the most popular in this category. For something different try Winepoint -we can make you a reservation And also we can arrange you a wine tasting if you wish to- on parallel Porinou street with a surprising selection of Greek local wines and Duende on Tziraion street with its eclectic old fashioned atmosphere.
