The emblematic Acropolis and the iconic Odeon of Herodes Atticus that has been staging musical and theatrical performances for two full millennia, are at 1 km. Likewise Zappeion, a Neoclassical masterpiece that hosts all sorts of exhibitions and events is just 700 meters away and so are the National Garden of Athens – a great place to walk, run or just enjoy your coffee and drink amid luscious trees and flowers.
