From Makri Street to the lockers
Makri starts near Athanasiou Diakou, close to the metro exit, and runs south-west towards Koukaki. Its northern end, around the supermarket and the hostels, is a one-minute walk from us: cross to Lempesi and you are there. From the southern end, count four minutes.
Makri is where a lot of first-time visitors stay, in the hostels and budget hotels that opened here because of the museum next door. Check-out is usually at 10:00 or 11:00; the lockers open at 9:00, so the morning works.
The pedestrian Makrygianni Street, with its tavernas, is one block up. The museum is three minutes away, the metro two.
