Paul: A Frenchman in Athens

Paul: A Frenchman in Athens

I first met Paul in Cannes 5 years ago…then we met again in Paris 4 years ago and 2 years he came in Athens and I’m pretty sure you have met him too, if you happen to pass by Panepistimiou street! Paul is a French bakery (or boulangerie if you prefer), which always makes me … Continue reading »

Athens Architecture Part 6

Athens Architecture Part 6

In this post I feature two buildings: the first one located on one of Plaka’s narrow streets and the second one located near the ancient cemetery of Kerameikos . What I like in those buildings are the wooden shutters. I admit that I like colorful wooden shustters like green, blue and turqoise as opposed to … Continue reading »

Il Postino

Il Postino

Il Postino (=the postman) is an Italian restaurant in Kolonaki. I’ve heard and read about it years ago, but after a friend of mine recommended it  last year I decided to take the plunge. And I’m glad I did! The food is delicious! Apart from the menu, every day there are some dishes of the … Continue reading »

Acropolis of Athens

Acropolis of Athens

The Acropolis of Athens or more commonly called Acropolis is without doubt Athens’ most famous landmark, as I’ve also written in my first post. A visit in Athens isn’t “complete” if you haven’t visited the Acropolis or at least walked around it (if you don’t have time for a proper visit, that is). Once you’re … Continue reading »

Moma Rest&Cafe

Moma Rest&Cafe

Adrianou street is a nice (pedestrian) road to walk in Athens, especially in the part below Monastiraki square, as it provides a nice (although a bit obstructed) view to the Ancient Agora. This part of the street is also lined with many cafes and restaurants. One of them is Moma. I’ve been there in the … Continue reading »

May Day in Kifisia

May Day in Kifisia

Yesterday it was May 1st…which equals to lots of flowers, making flower wreaths and such sort of stuff. So, I spent the morning in Kifisia where a flower fair takes place (another one takes place in Varkiza). Before embarking into flower “searching”, smelling and admiring, my friend and I went for a cupcake in Hamptons … Continue reading »

Athens Architecture Part 5

Athens Architecture Part 5

In this post I am featuring two buildings in the area of the Athens Cathedral. The first one is located in a street perpendicular to the Cathedral Square and has some very interesting decorative details! The second one is mustard/taupe colored and is located on Mitropoleos street. I like it’s arched doors and windows, as … Continue reading »

View From Pnyka

View From Pnyka

Now that the weather is getting warmer, walking around the city is highly recommended! If you do take the walk around the Acropolis, what a better way to end the walk than walking up to Pnyka (or Filopapou) hill where you’ll have a wonderful view of Athens, the Acropolis, Lycabettus Hill and even the towards … Continue reading »

pure {organic} Bliss

pure {organic} Bliss

First time I visited pure Bliss was 3 years ago and I was really impressed by the interior design of this place, it’s coziness and bright colors. Yes indeed, the interior and decoration of a place be it a restaurant, a bar or a cafe is really trivial to me. If it appeals to me, … Continue reading »
