Neoclassical house with large garden in Thiseio

Named after Theseus, the mythical king of Athens, Thissio, just 1.5 kms from the city centre, is enviably one of the most charming neighbourhoods in Athens as it skirts the Acropolis and all the other ancient sites. Unique features: If ever there is a neighborhood where you’d feel the humbling sweep of history, it is Thissio. From the majestic views of the Acropolis to Pnyx Hill, where democracy was born, past the Stoa of Attalos and the National Observatory (which also hosts art installations), and the pedestrianized Apostolos Pavlou to admire it all from, Thissio is one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods in Athens. It is a peaceful Athenian middle-class neighbourhood with many cultural and edible treasures. Accessibility: Extremely well-connected by the metro (Thissio and Monastiraki stations), tram and bus services to the rest of Athens. The airport is 50 minutes to an hour away by express train and direct buses. Investment potential: This area is right in the centre of Athens, an area that has always enjoyed a lot of interest from buyers. Guaranteed returns on investment—
