Subway and taxi is the best way to move around Athens!
Casa Verde is located 1 min walk from the train station that brings you in 7 min to Omonoia square (center of Athens!) or anywhere else you want to go in Athens.
Taxis are very cheap in Athens (and especially from Casa Verde to the city center it's between 3.2-5 euro cost per ride.
Only use UBER! Don't flag down a taxi. Don't tell me that I didn't warn you ;-) Personally I'm only using train and taxi in Athens and walk in the city center!
Šta poneti
It's getting hot in here!
Athens can be very hot (especially for me that I spend most of my year in Amsterddam). Hence make sure you have sunglasses, hat, light clothes and comfy shoes for your adventures. ALWAYS have water with you.

What to book!
In my list of restaurants there are a few that need to be booked in advance. Also I would suggest to book in advance any ferry tickets during the summer months as they're going fast and you want to get to this bloody island! ;-)
Pireus port is super easily accessible by the train (1 min walk from the apartment to the train station).
