LOCATION

18 Micon Str is housed in a corner building located in a pedestrian street in the heart of Psirri, one of the most picturesque districts in the centre of Athens. A short walk will bring you to Monastiraki square, where you can haggle for treasures at the city’s colorful flea market, at the pedestrian Ermou, the main shopping street, and Syntagma square where you can admire the changing of guards in front of the Parliament. At the same time, you are a few minutes away from Plaka, the charming neighborhood beneath the Acropolis Hill. TIP: The hotel is located within five minutes walk from both the Monastriraki & Thissio metro stations.
