athens in april - day two

Athens - 16th of April 2026

Delicious breakfast in our enormous loft 3 at 10AM Lofts.

We took the metro to Syntagma and did walk no. 3 from the Time to Momo guidebook. Naturally, with our own twist. We did a great job in the Pangrati, Koukaki, and Exarcheia neighborhoods, taking many extra little streets off the beaten path. Orange trees everywhere (and the delightful scent of orange blossoms) and graffiti everywhere.

Stops at as many terraces as possible and had a late lunch at Ouzeri Lesvos.

After chilling in the loft for a few hours, off to cafe restaurant Bachanezos around the corner, for a light dinner & drinks. We ordered a few mezze dishes and they were absolutely delicious. Relaxed atmosphere, buzz, and among the locals; for us, the perfect place for a beautiful end to a beautiful day. Eviva Athena!

athens in april - day one

Athens - 15th of April 2026

The first photo on the Acropolis is taken in 1989 when we were puppies.

So it really is high time for a return to Athens, this time for longer, because in the past we only passed through when we went island hopping.

We stay in the amazing and spacious loft 3 at 10AM Lofts, modern design in the city's industrial heritage. 1970s Brutalist concrete structure, which we are both absolutely crazy about. Our base for 5 days is set in the heart of Gazi, one of Athens' most dynamic districts.

During the day, we took a walk through the historic heart, in the Monastiraki and Anafiotika districts.

In the evening, we dined outside on the terrace at ΣΕΡΑΜΙΚΟ, only a few blocks from our loft, in the Kerameikos neighborhood.
