athens in april - day five

Athens - sunday 19th of April 2026

Sunny Sunday in the sparkling city of Athens.

No route from a city guide today; we're going to discover and figure it all out ourselves...

Off we go into the Petralona neighborhood. On this Sunday morning, city life is slowly awakening. We enjoy the blissful scent of orange blossom once more, because in Athens you really do find orange trees all over the place.

Around noon, we walk back to the historic center and have a drink on the highest rooftop terrace with a view of the Acropolis.

And then one last lunch at Taverna Ermou, to end 5 divine days in style.

Okay then, we'll have one more drink at our regular pub Bachanezos, before we take the metro to the airport.

Efcharistó Athína!

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.
