“In Athens' diplomatic quarter, what was once the Canadian Embassy now houses a property that stands out for its modern design and dedication to service. The rooftop terrace offers unrivaled views, especially at sunset with a cocktail. While a short distance from the city center, I found the area ideal for those seeking a quieter, more refined experience.”
