Further, there is the Powsin Park – a great city forest to walk, jog, bike or have fun with friends (fireplaces with wooden huts, tennis and volleyball courts, bars & cafes, and many other). There are also local shops in 500 meters (grocery, beauty center, dry cleaner, wine shopes, eco food, post, banks), and big shopping mall (Sadyba Best Mall).

The major transportation hub is a 5 minutes walk, where you can catch a bus to get to any other part of Warsaw. The nearest metro station is at Słuzew but that's too far to walk (you'd need to catch a bus from there or have a bike to get there). The whole place has got security codes – to the block and to the corridor of flats. It is safe and friendly place altogether. Parking a car should not be a problem and you can be sure it is safe.

Description:Apartment 50a Pine Hills Resort & Spa offers luxury apartments at the heart of the premier Bulgarian top ski resort of Pamporovo. The complex Pine Hills is situated at 1700 metres above sea level for convenient ski-in, ski-out directly to the slopes. Enjoy the breathtaking views during winter and summer time. Explore the century-old surrounding pine forests and the nearby mountain lakes. We (my wife Fiona and I) have 2 TOP 5th-floor units available for rent on a short or long term basis. This one is a studio unit with 2 beds (can be configured to 1 double or 2 singles). The development is BRAND NEW and this is its first fully open ski season! The spa side of the resort has not been completed yet so there is an arrangement with the 4* hotel almost next door to use their spa/jacuzzi/pool for a nominal charge. There is a building manager who will greet you upon arrival and give you the key plus show you around. He will also be your point of contact at Pine Hills and we will provide contact details after the reservation is confirmed. TRANSFERS can be pre-booked. Cost is 0.25 Euro/km which works out at 40 euros from Plovdiv airport, or 120 euros from Sofia airport. What extras you will get when renting this place: * A ski room to store your gear after a big day on the slopes * WiFi internet in the lobby (coming to the room soon!) * Parking for your car in the development or very close * Cable TV * Fully usable kitchen stocked with cooking gear and cutlery * All new beds and bedding * 24 hour security at entrance * Balcony to enjoy the tree filled view! Our other place is down the hall and is a 1 bedroom that sleeps 5. Please see my other AirBnB listing for availability to this one! Here is some resort inf Pamporovo is located at approximately 5413 ft or 1650 m above sea level in the Perelik range of the Western Rhodopi mountain at the foothills of the peak Snejanka (1926m). Sofia is 260 kilometers to the northwest, Plovdiv is 85 km to the north, the Aegean Coast is some 65 km to the south. The nearest airport (Plovdiv) is 1.5 hours away and Sofia airport is 3 hours away. Geography: 90 percent of the territory of Rhodopi mountain is covered by coniferous forests. There is a wide variety of animals, birds and plants. Unique nature reserves have been long established in order to protect the flora and fauna. Pamporovo is the most southern and may be the sunniest high mountain resort in Europe. It enjoys more than 240 sunny days a year and from December to April the snow cover averages approximately 150 cm. The climate has mediterranean influence which ensures low variations in daily temperatures. The region has negative air ionization which is considered to be extremely healthy. Skiing and Snowboarding (see ski map in pictures) Pamporovo has rich traditions in welcoming visitors from all over Europe and providing for an unforgettable holiday. The combination of location, nature and weather makes it a sought after ski area for starters and advanced skiers alike. All the main runs start from the TV Tower at the peak Snejanka. The resort has 17.5 kilometers of Alpine ski runs with different degrees of difficulty, 34 ski runs for long Nordic skiing, equipped with 6 different seat chair lifts and 13 ski drags with a total capacity of 9,500 people per hour. For the experts, a great off-piste skiing and snowboarding is an inviting challenge. Modern ski equipment and experienced English-speaking instructors are available should you need them. Summer Activities In the summer months one would associate Pamporovo with mountain quiet and calm, multi-coloured and lush meadows and evergreen coniferous forests. If you are into walking or mountain biking, there are plenty of very well marked trails leading to famous historical sites, lakes and nature reserves. A Balneological Centre operates from within the resort as well as the many Spas dotted around. The Aegean Coast in Northern Greece is under two hours away through the new border crossing point of Zlatograd. You can also go angling around Pamporovo, on fishing trips in Chepelare's surroundings. In the river which cuts through the town, it is possible to fish for trout, but you have to go a little further away if you will find the best fishing opportunities. Food and Drink Pamporovo is well supplied with restaurants serving a wide variety of cuisine, but most visitors favour the local folk taverns like the Chevermeto, where whole lambs are roasted over open fires and dancers in traditional costume provide colourful entertainment. Another favorite eatery is The White Hart, which offers home-made pub grub, mouth watering steaks, a selection of pizza and pasta and also caters well for vegetarians. More exquisite dining, along with fine Bulgarian wines, is offered in style at The White House restaurant. Après ski in Pamporovo is lively with plenty to choose from, whether you prefer sipping wine in a cosy piano bar, or partying the night away in a club. Most popular choices are BJ's at the lobby of the Hotel Perelik, Daks Bar at Hotel Snejanka, or Night Flight, the resort's largest disco, at Hotel Rojen. Bowling and ice skating is also available at some at some at hotels. History The Mountain had been inhabited by Thracian tribes since ancient times. According to the legend the mythical bard Orpheus (6th century BC) lived in the nearby village of Gela and created his musical compositions inspired by the beauty of the nature. Visitors are also attracted by the historical monuments and natural landmarks. In the region there are preserved hundreds of Thracian, ancient Greek and Roman fortresses, roads and bridges. Monasteries, churches and architectural sites dating from the Middle Ages, a symbol of the Bulgarian culture through the centuries, could be also seen in the Rhodopi Mountain. The ski resort Pamporovo was first established in 1933. It was fully developed during the sixties of the last century when the main infrastructure and ski facilities were put in place. The resort has since been renovated several times with newer luxury hotels, shopping centers, restaurants and facilities.... more info >>

This one is a 1 bed unit with 3 beds in the bedroom (can be configured to 1 double and 1 single or pushed apart for 3 singles). There is also a pull out sofa bed in the main room that can sleep 2 more. The development is BRAND NEW and this is its first fully open ski season! The spa side of the resort has not been completed yet so there is an arrangement with the 4* hotel almost next door to use their spa/jacuzzi/pool for a nominal charge.

He will also be your point of contact at Pine Hills and we will provide contact details after the reservation is confirmed. TRANSFERS can be pre-booked.

Our other place is down the hall and is a studio that sleeps 2. Please see my other AirBnB listing for availability to this one! Here is some resort inf Pamporovo is located at approximately 5413 ft or 1650 m above sea level in the Perelik range of the Western Rhodopi mountain at the foothills of the peak Snejanka (1926m). Sofia is 260 kilometers to the northwest, Plovdiv is 85 km to the north, the Aegean Coast is some 65 km to the south. The nearest airport (Plovdiv) is 1.5 hours away and Sofia airport is 3 hours away. Geography: 90 percent of the territory of Rhodopi mountain is covered by coniferous forests. There is a wide variety of animals, birds and plants. Unique nature reserves have been long established in order to protect the flora and fauna. Pamporovo is the most southern and may be the sunniest high mountain resort in Europe. It enjoys more than 240 sunny days a year and from December to April the snow cover averages approximately 150 cm. The climate has mediterranean influence which ensures low variations in daily temperatures. The region has negative air ionization which is considered to be extremely healthy. Skiing and Snowboarding (see ski map in pictures) Pamporovo has rich traditions in welcoming visitors from all over Europe and providing for an unforgettable holiday. The combination of location, nature and weather makes it a sought after ski area for starters and advanced skiers alike. All the main runs start from the TV Tower at the peak Snejanka. The resort has 17.5 kilometers of Alpine ski runs with different degrees of difficulty, 34 ski runs for long Nordic skiing, equipped with 6 different seat chair lifts and 13 ski drags with a total capacity of 9,500 people per hour. For the experts, a great off-piste skiing and snowboarding is an inviting challenge. Modern ski equipment and experienced English-speaking instructors are available should you need them. Summer Activities In the summer months one would associate Pamporovo with mountain quiet and calm, multi-coloured and lush meadows and evergreen coniferous forests. If you are into walking or mountain biking, there are plenty of very well marked trails leading to famous historical sites, lakes and nature reserves. A Balneological Centre operates from within the resort as well as the many Spas dotted around. The Aegean Coast in Northern Greece is under two hours away through the new border crossing point of Zlatograd. You can also go angling around Pamporovo, on fishing trips in Chepelare's surroundings. In the river which cuts through the town, it is possible to fish for trout, but you have to go a little further away if you will find the best fishing opportunities. Food and Drink Pamporovo is well supplied with restaurants serving a wide variety of cuisine, but most visitors favour the local folk taverns like the Chevermeto, where whole lambs are roasted over open fires and dancers in traditional costume provide colourful entertainment. Another favorite eatery is The White Hart, which offers home-made pub grub, mouth watering steaks, a selection of pizza and pasta and also caters well for vegetarians. More exquisite dining, along with fine Bulgarian wines, is offered in style at The White House restaurant. Après ski in Pamporovo is lively with plenty to choose from, whether you prefer sipping wine in a cosy piano bar, or partying the night away in a club. Most popular choices are BJ's at the lobby of the Hotel Perelik, Daks Bar at Hotel Snejanka, or Night Flight, the resort's largest disco, at Hotel Rojen. Bowling and ice skating is also available at some at some at hotels. History The Mountain had been inhabited by Thracian tribes since ancient times. According to the legend the mythical bard Orpheus (6th century BC) lived in the nearby village of Gela and created his musical compositions inspired by the beauty of the nature. Visitors are also attracted by the historical monuments and natural landmarks. In the region there are preserved hundreds of Thracian, ancient Greek and Roman fortresses, roads and bridges. Monasteries, churches and architectural sites dating from the Middle Ages, a symbol of the Bulgarian culture through the centuries, could be also seen in the Rhodopi Mountain. The ski resort Pamporovo was first established in 1933. It was fully developed during the sixties of the last century when the main infrastructure and ski facilities were put in place. The resort has since been renovated several times with newer luxury hotels, shopping centers, restaurants and facilities.... more info >>

Description:Toshali Royal View is one of the best hotels in Shimla. The people of Shimla are informally called Shimlaites. With largely cosmopolitan crowds, a variety of festivals are celebrated here. The Shimla Summer Festival, held every year during peak tourist season, and lasting 3–4 days, is celebrated on the ridge. The highlights of this event include performances by popular singers from all over the country. Shimla has a number of places to visit. Local hangouts like the mall road and ridge are in the heart of the city. Most of the heritage buildings in the city are preserved in their original tudorbethan architecture. The Viceregal lodge which houses the Indian Institute of Advanced Study, and Wildflower hall that is now a luxury hotel are some of the famous ones. A collection of paintings, jewellery and textiles of the region can be found at the State Museum (built in 1974). Further out from the city is the Naldehra nine-hole golf course, the oldest of its kind in India. Kufri is a ski resort (winter only) located 19 kilometres (11.8 mi) from the main city. Lakkar Bazaar, a market extending off the ridge, is famous for souvenirs and crafts made of wood. Tatta Pani, 55 kilometres from the main city, is the name of hot sulphur springs that are believed to have medicinal value located on the banks of river Satluj. Shimla is also home to South Asia's only natural ice skating rink. State and national level competitions are often held at this venue. The Shimla Ice Skating Club, which manages the rink, hosts a carnival every year in January, which includes a fancy dress competition and figure skating events. Due to effects of global warming and increasing urban development in and around Shimla, the number of sessions on ice every winter have been decreasing in the past few years.... more info >>

Description:A full equipped apt just in the heart of Athens, kipseli, very close to the main points of Athens: -Parthenon, -Odeon of Herod Atticus -Dionysos -Pedion of Areos -Lykavittos Hill, -Kolonaki -Ermou Street -Exarchea -Sintagma -major universities (AUEB,NTUA) 1-5 minutes walk from public transportation metro line (viktoria square-green line), bus and trolley. The apt, as I already mentioned, is fully equipped and by saying this I mean a washing machine, electric kitchen, bedroom with air condition and free Wi-Fi. And some information about my neighborhood: Kypseli is bordered by Pedion Areos, the largest park in Athens and formerly the military parade grounds when the Greek army did stuff like that. Up until recently it was a haven for drug addicts but they have moved on to the Polytechnion to take advantage of the government amnesty in that area. Now you can walk the park and not fear for your life and even see old men who hang out on sunny days playing backgammon and talking about the good old days. The park is currently going through an extreme makeover and if it ends up looking anything like the architects drawings, it should be one of the best in Athens with ponds and streams and more walking trails than it has now. The park has two enormous statues, one of Athina and the other of King Constantine, a dubious character whose inept leadership cost Greece the city of Smyrna and brought about what is known as the Asia Minor Disaster. It was followed by the exchange of populations that turned Athens into the refugee-filled city it still is to this day and was the end of the Christian presence in Asia Minor. After the catastrophe the king was forced to abdicate and forced into exile while many of the officers and politicians who supported him were found guilty of treason and executed. Why there is a statue of him is beyond me but I suppose someone wanted to appease the anti-Venize lists royalists who still exist in some parallel universe. The northeast corner of Pedion Areos contain the law courts in a wooded hilly area that has been mercifully spared the scourge of concrete. The northwest corner is the home of the Panellinios Sports Club, the oldest in Greece and one of the oldest in Europe. Their basketball team was a European power from 1929 and into the fifties and is once again challenging the big money teams like Olympiakos and Panathiniakos with talented import players like Anthony Grundy from North Carolina State, Shakir Mustapha from Arizona, Australian Brad Newly and several excellent Greek, Serbian, Croatian and Montenegrin players. They play some of their home games in the intimate gym which holds only 1200 spectators. The grounds also have a track and field, two mini-soccer courts, an Olympic swimming pool and an ice-skating rink with a cafe-bar that overlooks it all of which are open to the public. At the bottom of Pedion Areos in the area known as Green Park for the popular old cafe that was in the process of being restored until for some reason they gave up, is the important transportation hub of the orange KTEL Attika buses which leave every half hour or so to places like Rafina, Marathon, Sounion, Lavrion and other towns on the Attiki pennisula. Most trolleys going down Panepistimiou Street pass within a block of here and the 2, 4 and 9 to Platia Kypseli stop here as well. The west side of Mavromation Street where most of the buses are, also has a number of beautiful old buildings, some restored and some falling down. Among these buildings is the rear of the University of Economics. At the southwest corner of the park is tiny Egypt Square (Platia Egypto) a pretty non-descript place though it hides one of Athens' largest underground parking garages, usually about 80% empty. It used to be a nice little tree-shaded square not so long ago but like other squares, some Athens mayor's love of cement won over common sense and now it looks like a bus stop with a few little bushes. Nearby is Andrea's favorite roast chestnut and corn seller where we usually stop to get something to eat if we are waiting for the bus. Across Alexandras Avenue is the bus station for Thessaloniki, and a block or so up Alexandras are two notable places, the elegant Park Hotel, and Ennea Ogdoa at #40 where the ageless bouzouki great Christos Nikolopoulos plays every Friday and Saturday during the winter. This is considered the borderline of Exarchia, center of youth unrest. If you walk down Heydin Street from Mavromataion Street which is the western border of the park you will come right to Platia Victoria and the ISAP Electric Railway station, part of the Athens Metro System. The square is one of the more popular locations for African and Eastern venders who set up shop on the pavement, selling handbags, CDs, DVDs, and many other items until the police patrols pass by and they all run to the sidestreet with their goods wrapped in a big sheet, looking like Santa's helpers after affirmative action. When the police leave they return and set up shop again. Platia Victoria has several nice cafes and restaurants, the best probably being To Ouzeri Tou Laki, a tiny fish restaurant at the end of Elpidos, a small pedestrian street that is off the square. Also in the neighborhood are a couple of the best live rock clubs in Athens, Kitaro on Archanon and Iperiou streets, and Rodeo at 34 Heydon. You will know you are near Victoria by the yellow balls on the side of the streets leading to the square which actually work well in keeping cars from parking there. Why they don't put them on every street in Athens I don't know. You probably don't want to walk up Archanon too far. Though there is a spectacular church called Agios Pendelimon a few blocks up, the area is considered one of the few dangerous places in Athens. Not that you will be murdered or robbed while walking up the street or anything. Its just an area where immigrant gangs fight each other over turf, girlfriends, ethnic differences and whatever, and like Exarchia, it is one of the places that foreigners are told to avoid. But unlike Exarchia which has some great restaurants, ouzeries, cafes and the best CD and used record shops in Athens, there is no good reason for any tourist to go to Agios Pandelimon. The western border of Kypseli is Patission Street which is also known as 28th of October Street, which was the day the Greeks refused to let the Italians occupy the country, also known as Ochi Day. This important road which begins on Panapistimiou street and is actually an extension of Aeolou Street is notable for a few things. First you have a view of the Acropolis pretty much as far as you go. It also passes the Athens Polytechnic University the location of the 1973 student rebellions which ended on Nov 17th with a Greek army tank crashing through the gates, which have been locked ever since. It was the home-base in December of 2008 for the 'anarchists' who took advantage of a law passed after November 17th that made it illegal for police to enter the campus. They used it to launch attacks against small shops, banks, police, McDonalds, Starbucks, firetrucks, traffic lights, Christmas trees, and any poor guy who happened to be driving through the area at the wrong time whose car was needed in the barricades. They would then retreat back to the campus, secure in the knowledge that they were protected by law. Meanwhile they trashed the campus, wrote graffiti all over the buildings, held the work of art students hostage, ransacked files and threatened to burn the whole thing down if anyone dared mess with them. Not the most glorious period of Greek democracy and one not even worth mentioning except the Polytechnic is right next to the National Archaeological Museum(photo), perhaps the best in Europe. Though demonstrations often originate in this area for the most part they are peaceful and are easily avoided since with any demonstration there will be a noticeable absence of buses and traffic going down Patission street. Check out the Rockwood Bar and restaurant right next to the museum which is as close as you will find to an American Saloon in Athens. They have live music on Wednesdays. Across the street is the Museum Internet Cafe. In the back of the Museum is the world's largest collection of ancient autographs and inscriptions in the Epigraphical Museum. Past the museum, and the very nice cafe there in the park, Patission continues as a commercial street with a large variety of shops of all kinds, fast food restaurants, a few small department stores like Zara, Kotsobolos Electronics, Marks and Spencer, the Hondos Center and a Starbucks in an impressive old neo-classical mansion. Its just past the Marks and Spencer that you turn diagonaly right to get to Fokionos Negri. If you continue down Patission you will come to Platia Amerikis on the left and the former location of the Athens Bowling Alley, awaiting new ownership someday hopefully. On the right side of the street is another park which the Athens Municipality ripped out all the trees so they could build a parking garage (photo), sparking more demonstrations and battles with the police. Once again, just as with the Demotiki Agora members of the community occupied the park, planted trees where they had been ripped up, and began a series of concerts, demonstrations and petitions while hanging posters all over the city to make all of Kypseli aware of the mayor's attempt to destroy what little green space remains in the neighborhood. While the mayor has used the press to rant and rave that his plans for a parking garage were misunderstood and that the opposition is being led by outside agitators, you would have a hard time finding anyone in Kypseli who is for the parking garage. In fact the mayor's popularity in Kypseli is somewhere around George Bush's at the height of the Iraq war. In the meantime a small cafe has sprung up in the park and much of the city has now taken the side of the protesters. It will be interesting to see whether the Mayor accepts the will of the people or uses the police to protect the bulldozers. Beyond the park you eventually come to Galatsi, an area similar to Kypseli though from here you start getting into areas like Nea Philadelphia and Ano Patissia which are further from the center and less congested.

Description:A full equipped apt just in the heart of Athens, kipseli, very close to the main points of Athens: -Parthenon, -Odeon of Herod Atticus -Dionysos -Pedion of Areos -Lykavittos Hill, -Kolonaki -Ermou Street -Exarchea -Sintagma -major universities (AUEB,NTUA) 1-5 minutes walk from public transportation metro line (viktoria square-green line), bus and trolley. The apt, as I already mentioned, is fully equipped and by saying this I mean a washing machine, electric kitchen, bedroom with air condition and free Wi-Fi. And some information about my neighborhood: Kypseli is bordered by Pedion Areos, the largest park in Athens and formerly the military parade grounds when the Greek army did stuff like that. Up until recently it was a haven for drug addicts but they have moved on to the Polytechnion to take advantage of the government amnesty in that area. Now you can walk the park and not fear for your life and even see old men who hang out on sunny days playing backgammon and talking about the good old days. The park is currently going through an extreme makeover and if it ends up looking anything like the architects drawings, it should be one of the best in Athens with ponds and streams and more walking trails than it has now. The park has two enormous statues, one of Athina and the other of King Constantine, a dubious character whose inept leadership cost Greece the city of Smyrna and brought about what is known as the Asia Minor Disaster. It was followed by the exchange of populations that turned Athens into the refugee-filled city it still is to this day and was the end of the Christian presence in Asia Minor. After the catastrophe the king was forced to abdicate and forced into exile while many of the officers and politicians who supported him were found guilty of treason and executed. Why there is a statue of him is beyond me but I suppose someone wanted to appease the anti-Venize lists royalists who still exist in some parallel universe. The northeast corner of Pedion Areos contain the law courts in a wooded hilly area that has been mercifully spared the scourge of concrete. The northwest corner is the home of the Panellinios Sports Club, the oldest in Greece and one of the oldest in Europe. Their basketball team was a European power from 1929 and into the fifties and is once again challenging the big money teams like Olympiakos and Panathiniakos with talented import players like Anthony Grundy from North Carolina State, Shakir Mustapha from Arizona, Australian Brad Newly and several excellent Greek, Serbian, Croatian and Montenegrin players. They play some of their home games in the intimate gym which holds only 1200 spectators. The grounds also have a track and field, two mini-soccer courts, an Olympic swimming pool and an ice-skating rink with a cafe-bar that overlooks it all of which are open to the public. At the bottom of Pedion Areos in the area known as Green Park for the popular old cafe that was in the process of being restored until for some reason they gave up, is the important transportation hub of the orange KTEL Attika buses which leave every half hour or so to places like Rafina, Marathon, Sounion, Lavrion and other towns on the Attiki pennisula. Most trolleys going down Panepistimiou Street pass within a block of here and the 2, 4 and 9 to Platia Kypseli stop here as well. The west side of Mavromation Street where most of the buses are, also has a number of beautiful old buildings, some restored and some falling down. Among these buildings is the rear of the University of Economics. At the southwest corner of the park is tiny Egypt Square (Platia Egypto) a pretty non-descript place though it hides one of Athens' largest underground parking garages, usually about 80% empty. It used to be a nice little tree-shaded square not so long ago but like other squares, some Athens mayor's love of cement won over common sense and now it looks like a bus stop with a few little bushes. Nearby is Andrea's favorite roast chestnut and corn seller where we usually stop to get something to eat if we are waiting for the bus. Across Alexandras Avenue is the bus station for Thessaloniki, and a block or so up Alexandras are two notable places, the elegant Park Hotel, and Ennea Ogdoa at #40 where the ageless bouzouki great Christos Nikolopoulos plays every Friday and Saturday during the winter. This is considered the borderline of Exarchia, center of youth unrest. If you walk down Heydin Street from Mavromataion Street which is the western border of the park you will come right to Platia Victoria and the ISAP Electric Railway station, part of the Athens Metro System. The square is one of the more popular locations for African and Eastern venders who set up shop on the pavement, selling handbags, CDs, DVDs, and many other items until the police patrols pass by and they all run to the sidestreet with their goods wrapped in a big sheet, looking like Santa's helpers after affirmative action. When the police leave they return and set up shop again. Platia Victoria has several nice cafes and restaurants, the best probably being To Ouzeri Tou Laki, a tiny fish restaurant at the end of Elpidos, a small pedestrian street that is off the square. Also in the neighborhood are a couple of the best live rock clubs in Athens, Kitaro on Archanon and Iperiou streets, and Rodeo at 34 Heydon. You will know you are near Victoria by the yellow balls on the side of the streets leading to the square which actually work well in keeping cars from parking there. Why they don't put them on every street in Athens I don't know. You probably don't want to walk up Archanon too far. Though there is a spectacular church called Agios Pendelimon a few blocks up, the area is considered one of the few dangerous places in Athens. Not that you will be murdered or robbed while walking up the street or anything. Its just an area where immigrant gangs fight each other over turf, girlfriends, ethnic differences and whatever, and like Exarchia, it is one of the places that foreigners are told to avoid. But unlike Exarchia which has some great restaurants, ouzeries, cafes and the best CD and used record shops in Athens, there is no good reason for any tourist to go to Agios Pandelimon. The western border of Kypseli is Patission Street which is also known as 28th of October Street, which was the day the Greeks refused to let the Italians occupy the country, also known as Ochi Day. This important road which begins on Panapistimiou street and is actually an extension of Aeolou Street is notable for a few things. First you have a view of the Acropolis pretty much as far as you go. It also passes the Athens Polytechnic University the location of the 1973 student rebellions which ended on Nov 17th with a Greek army tank crashing through the gates, which have been locked ever since. It was the home-base in December of 2008 for the 'anarchists' who took advantage of a law passed after November 17th that made it illegal for police to enter the campus. They used it to launch attacks against small shops, banks, police, McDonalds, Starbucks, firetrucks, traffic lights, Christmas trees, and any poor guy who happened to be driving through the area at the wrong time whose car was needed in the barricades. They would then retreat back to the campus, secure in the knowledge that they were protected by law. Meanwhile they trashed the campus, wrote graffiti all over the buildings, held the work of art students hostage, ransacked files and threatened to burn the whole thing down if anyone dared mess with them. Not the most glorious period of Greek democracy and one not even worth mentioning except the Polytechnic is right next to the National Archaeological Museum(photo), perhaps the best in Europe. Though demonstrations often originate in this area for the most part they are peaceful and are easily avoided since with any demonstration there will be a noticeable absence of buses and traffic going down Patission street. Check out the Rockwood Bar and restaurant right next to the museum which is as close as you will find to an American Saloon in Athens. They have live music on Wednesdays. Across the street is the Museum Internet Cafe. In the back of the Museum is the world's largest collection of ancient autographs and inscriptions in the Epigraphical Museum. Past the museum, and the very nice cafe there in the park, Patission continues as a commercial street with a large variety of shops of all kinds, fast food restaurants, a few small department stores like Zara, Kotsobolos Electronics, Marks and Spencer, the Hondos Center and a Starbucks in an impressive old neo-classical mansion. Its just past the Marks and Spencer that you turn diagonaly right to get to Fokionos Negri. If you continue down Patission you will come to Platia Amerikis on the left and the former location of the Athens Bowling Alley, awaiting new ownership someday hopefully. On the right side of the street is another park which the Athens Municipality ripped out all the trees so they could build a parking garage (photo), sparking more demonstrations and battles with the police. Once again, just as with the Demotiki Agora members of the community occupied the park, planted trees where they had been ripped up, and began a series of concerts, demonstrations and petitions while hanging posters all over the city to make all of Kypseli aware of the mayor's attempt to destroy what little green space remains in the neighborhood. While the mayor has used the press to rant and rave that his plans for a parking garage were misunderstood and that the opposition is being led by outside agitators, you would have a hard time finding anyone in Kypseli who is for the parking garage. In fact the mayor's popularity in Kypseli is somewhere around George Bush's at the height of the Iraq war. In the meantime a small cafe has sprung up in the park and much of the city has now taken the side of the protesters. It will be interesting to see whether the Mayor accepts the will of the people or uses the police to protect the bulldozers. Beyond the park you eventually come to Galatsi, an area similar to Kypseli though from here you start getting into areas like Nea Philadelphia and Ano Patissia which are further from the center and less congested. A couple places worth mentioning in Galatsi are Spiros and Andonis, a small taverna on Gavrilidou street off Patission Street, and Kibubu, a lively rock and roll bar on Galatsiou Avenue.
