Make sure to bring your camera to the beautiful neighbourhood of Anafiotika. Filled with colour, history, & locals, be transported to a place where the pace of life is much slower and people enjoy simply living. Take a step back and appreciate life as the Greek’s do, basking in the warm sun and walking among the whitewashed alleys, fragrant with jasmine and strung with laundry.
The Plaka district is full of taverns, cafes and small shops. Take the afternoon to wander around, browse the designs and pause often for a refreshment. It’s the best way to capture the authentic vibe of Athens.
To get a glimpse into Greek culture, the Onassis Cultural Centre showcases local and global talents throughout the year with theatre and orchestra performances that are not to be missed, especially during the spring and summer months, when all you want to do is be outdoors, soaking up every possible essence.
Rosebud Café Bar is the perfect spot for a coffee among the city’s many artists, writers, and musicians. Rosebud features very alternative artistic décor, that is at once distinctly Mediterranean with the bohemian spirit of Paris. The vegan and vegetarian dishes are prepared fresh every single day, and are a great option for light lunches.
