Just a stones’ throw from this apartment is the House of Eleftherios Venizelos who was a great political influencer of the early 1900s. At the end of the 19th Century this small neighbourhood was actually a town and there were many wealthy people who lived there. Remnants of this great and colourful past can be seen through the buildings and great houses in this area.
