MOUSEIO-EXARCHEIA-NEAPOLI ATHENS CENTER

A densely populated district of the center of Athens, which also hosts great historic buildings, such as the National Technical University and the University of Athens, the Archaeological Museum, busy squares and reference points, such as Lycabettus.

In the course of history, this large neighborhood attracted intellectuals and students, which is due both to the emblematic buildings mentioned above and the operation of specific departments of the University, such as -now- the Law School and the Department of Education. This is an area with a particular style that combines intellect, art, spontaneity. It is a point of action for students, which inevitably affects its rhythms, atmosphere and aesthetics. There are many libraries, bookstores, printing houses, cafes with spaces specially designed for study and "hangout" shops for permanent residents or visitors. Many of the apartments, in apartment buildings mainly of old construction, are available for rent to students. The region is also associated with intense politicization.
