Like many parts of the downtown, this too, seems kind of disorganized and chaotic, with a haphazard mix of different architectural styles and lots of graffiti. But then again this is where its allure lays – in true Athenian style. Amid the whole scruffy setting there are alternative-chic joints – from traditional taverns with a twist, to experimental places featuring theater and gigs, Thai and French restaurants and trend-setting bars. Launched by a swarm of young creatives who’ve recently relocated in the area, these eye-catching spots are responsible for the area’s renaissance - Petralona is often dubbed the “New Gazi”. It still retains though a distinctly local character and feel, without being over-commercialized or pretentious like its fabled neighbor. Petralona is also conveniently positioned for exploring the city on foot. The flat is no more than a 30 mins walk away from the Acropolis and Plaka and about 20 from the leafy hill of Filopappou and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. The Ancient Agora is at 2.2 km, and the Roman Agora at 2.4 km. The quaint shopping/ sightseeing district of Monastiraki is 2.7km away, and Syntagma, the heart of the city at 3.6 km. Plus, the “Petralona” station with metro, bus and tram connections is some 500 meters away, so you can easily venture everywhere in Athens.
