"The Herodion scores most points for its common areas: the café-restaurant with conservatory seating shaded by wild pistachios... and the roof garden with two Jacuzzi tubs and eyefuls of the Acropolis."

"The Herodion has lovely common areas: the café-restaurant with patio seating shaded by wild pistachios, and the roof garden with two Jacuzzi tubs and the Acropolis a stone’s throw away."

Don't miss the rooftop bar for cocktails made with Mastic--a better alternative than the Ouzo stuff that has pine-y and creamy with a faint bite of licorice.
