Why this neighbourhood, and why lockers here
Makrygianni became the hotel and Airbnb quarter of Athens because it is one of the few residential areas that touch the Acropolis. The price of that is a check-out problem: most apartments want you out by 11:00 and most flights leave in the evening. Our lockers exist for that gap. Drop the bags, keep the day.
Koukaki, just beyond Veikou Street, is the neighbourhood the guides call the local one: tavernas on Drakou and Olympiou, Filopappou Hill at the top. From its northern streets we are two to four minutes; from the southern end, six or seven.
Where people stay: hotels and hostels within five minutes
If your booking confirmation shows one of these, you are between one and five minutes from the lockers.
