Frederica’s Stone houses (Petrina), is a “quite old village” full of blooming gardens in the centre of Athens, just a few minutes away from Acropolis Hill. The neighborhood is located next to the Filopapou Hill, a favorite destination for strolls among lemon trees and blooming gardens. Kallisthenous street is considered the main road of Petrina that connects Filopapou with Acropolis Hill (Thiseio) where through Dionysiou Aeropagitou str, visitors can head southern to Plaka and Acropolis museum or northern to Monastiraki and Psiri. Historically, the area was first inhabited after the Greco-Turkish War (1922), when the greek refugees from Asia Minor arrived. Until 1961, it was the most deprived districts of Athens. The fire of 1944 that destroyed some of the houses, initiated the Queen Frederica to use the stones from the area to build stone houses which were offered to the population in 1956. Since then, the stone houses turned into such landmarks and the neighborhood was slowly integrated into the today area known as “Petrina”. The popular cafés and taverns that have opened make the area one of the most beautiful districts just few steps from Thiseio and Acropolis Hill.
