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!

Have to admit it's ten times more fun to crochet in a sunny backyard, however I'm not complaining about my lazy rainy friday at home.

B is for brightening and lady-with-cherries-print is by Larissa Bertonasco and makes me cheerful anyway. The soft pastel colored harlequins are for an equally joyful pillow-fan.

Enjoy the weekend, whatever it may bring...
