Greece on a plate

This unique restaurant called Eleas Gi, with an old grocery shop and a corridor-cellar, stands on a hill and offers a beautiful view over Athens.

 

The name of the restaurant means 'the land of the olive tree' and everything here is Greek olive oil.

Favourite Dish: Here you can choose between a 14- and a 24-flavour option. It's too much, no matter which 1 you choose!

They prepare the eggplant salad right before your eyes.

Simply the best!

This is the best hotel I've ever stayed in!

There's a spacious lobby with comfortable armchairs and a bar.

All the rooms have a key card access. They are very clean, with TV and telephone. It's needless to say that the beds are comfortable. There are different amenities in the bathroom: a hair dryer, soap, shampoo, shower cap, slippers, sewing kit, etc.
