The neighbourhood
Stories, seasonal tips and neighbourhood news from Kolonaki — written by your hosts, Sissi & Galinos, who live just a few streets from the apartments.
The hosts' first-hand guide to Kolonaki's café scene: how the Greek freddo culture works, when to go, and where we actually drink coffee within a ten-minute walk of our apartments.
A local host's honest guide to eating in Kolonaki, central Athens: modern Greek dinners, classic tavernas, wine bars and quick lunches, plus how we'd plan a full day of eating in the neighbourhood.
A resident host's honest guide to getting from Athens airport (ATH) into the centre: a pre-booked Welcome Pickups transfer, Metro Line 3, the X95 express bus, or a fixed-fare taxi, plus the ride-hailing apps and how to get around once you reach Kolonaki.
