athens in april - day four

Athens - saturday 18th of April 2026

Breakfast at the downstairs neighbors' 10AM Apotheke.

We took the metro to the Athenian Riviera and Piraeus.

We walked route 5 from the Time to Momo guidebook. And who are we not to stray from the beaten path as well?

Lunch at Tsipouro Katastasi and back to Athens, where we took a closer look at the 'chic' Kolonaki district.

After chilling at home for a few hours, popping out for a drink and a bite at Bachanezos. A true delight to have such a nice hangout so close to home, wonderfully relaxed after so many steps.

athens in april - day three

Athens - friday 17th of April 2026

Greek breakfast MrCausio style at 10AM Lofts at 8:40AM.

We took the metro to Syntagma and did walk no. 3 from the Time to Momo guidebook. Pangrati, Koukaki, Thission and Gazi neighborhoods.

First stop at Panathenaic Stadium, the old Olympic stadium, which we also visited in 1989. Just like back then, I ran a lap around the athletics track.

After that, we visited the colorful market behind the Olympic stadium and walked the streets of Pangrati & Koukaki.

We had a lunch at the Opos Palia tavern and then we climbed the hill at the Acropolis.

In the evening we went to our 'regulars' pub' Bachanezos around the corner, for mezze, drinks, music and the nice atmosphere.

Athens, you are so cool!
