PLACES TO LOVE in Athens

Protesting against the self announcement culture of selfies, the boredom of endless outfit posts (boredom as it now turned to be taking into account the twisted repetition of many, and not as once used to be, when blog was mostly an unknown word and we were innovating) i decided to talk about places. Places that make your day, your night. Places that transform the city and fulfill Athenians' dreamers' dreams. These places are just a few of my fav Athenian spots and i strongly recommend the visit. (Note: All photos are taken by my mob, so please bare with my spontaneity).

TO ARXONTIKO
A traditional, yet contemporary, restaurant in Maroussi. Homemade quality food is its trademark, while magically combines the charm and uniqueness of the Greek cuisine and the Newyorker's demanding design environment. A stylish transformation from lunch spot to dinner destination is its wow factor. And if the night finds you there, don't leave without the taste of its signature cocktails.







SPECIAL CAKES
The sweetest place to be in Glyfada. Try the carrot cake, the strawberry cheesecake and the red velvet (and everything). Photos speak for themselves, no need to point out the happy retrospective spirit or the childish colorful innocence of the past.





BY THE GLASS
So chic in Souri street, a downtown jazz place for wine addicts. Feels like blues lyrics is the new tone to lighten the city.



SAFKA
Scandinavian simplicity of tastes in a joyful clean cut space in Keramikos. Extra points for the amazingly kind service.


SPITI MOU, GLYKAKI MOU (in Greek. Meaning: Home sweet home)
Find this cute little treasure in Vari. It's a family thing, that's why is so honest and delicious.





PAUL
in Glyfada. Old time classic value. A weird thing though is that when the sun is out, coffee tastes better. Figure it out!


AMANDINE
French beauty again. This little coffee and bagel place is made with Lillian love and reminds us of the student life that passed and covered us in optimism.
 



DIVANI APOLLON PALACE AND THALASSO
When therapy finds joy and the sun is still up underwater, you meet the fascination of Apollon's thalassotherapy. Entering the seawater and the magic of special treatments, you feel the warm sea and the nature's movements in your hands.








VOULIAGMENI LAKE
One of the most exotic places in Athens.



HETEROCLITO
Frenchies again. For wine lovers.

THE HARVEST
Best soups in the city. Finally the hashtag #nomnom takes form.
