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!

taghazout - essaouira

Taghazout - 16 november 2025

After the explosion of color in Aghroud, we spent a super snug Sunday afternoon in Taghazout. Lunch by the ocean, strolling around the village and a long beachwalk along the ocean. Drinks and dinner in the evening by the fire in our hotel Munga Guesthouse.

Taghazout - Essaouira - 17 november 2025

Last luxurious Munga-style breakfast on the roof terrace overlooking the village and the ocean. We'll miss this!
And then back on the road to Essaouira. Along the way, we'll see herds of dromedaries, the banana valley of Tamri, and have a coffee stop at the Pause Cafe, yet another fantastic café, with truly excellent coffee.

In Smimou we visit the local market and buy some fresh fruit. Naturally these are our favorite stops.
