Exis Hotel in Athens

This is our hotel in Athens. Beautiful old hotel. Not a great neighborhood, but we managed. Even negotiated our way in and out of the middle of town on the trolley and the Metro without incident!
Well...we did have to ask the very nice policemen who spoke mostly English which of the 7 streets that come into the square was the one we needed to be on to catch the right trolley back to our hotel. :)
We walked around in circles for about an hour trying to figure it out on our own....AND, we were convinced that we knew the right way. It was not correct. We were 180 degrees off from our best guess. Thank you, Mr. Policeman, who had to call the hotel to make sure we were registered there, because we didn't know the address. HAH! Stupid American tourists.
