1001 Geyseis Athens

Nuts about it

"I just love the chocolate-covered nuts in 1001 Geyseis! I recently tried the cocoa-covered pecan nuts and hopefully one day I will try all the variety the store has to offer!"

Shops selling nuts and dried fruits are very popular in Greece. You can find one or more such places in every neighborhood, and several of them are tightly packed in the Central Market of Athens (check the Varvakeios Market article). These stores do not usually sell prepackaged bags of goods but you can choose the quantity you wish to buy, get it weighed, and packed and you are ready to go!

One of my favorites stores of this kind is 1001 Geyseis (1001 Flavors), because not only do they carry a wide range of nuts, spices, and dried fruits but they also keep up with the times and offer many choices for healthy snacks and delicacies, such as rice crackers and vegetable chips, at reasonable prices. I just love the chocolate-covered nuts in 1001 Geyseis! I recently tried the cocoa-covered pecan nuts and hopefully one day I will try all the variety the store has to offer! I discovered that they also carry many kinds of nut butter and paste (I didn’t know that pumpkin seed butter existed, but it is allegedly tasty and nutritious).

Take your time looking and nibbling around the shop as I am convinced that they offer more than 1000 flavors.

House with Caryatids

An urban legend

The house is known for the two wonderful Caryatid sculptures located on the balcony of its facade. The house was built in the late 19th century and is a typical example of Athenian neoclassicism.

Mouries in Kolonos

Authentic Athenian

It does not matter what you order when you visit Mouries because everything is made with the same care (however, my favorite dish here is the meatballs).

Zaharias Records

A music lovers' paradise

My favorite morning walk in the Monastiraki Flea Market always ends with a visit to Zaharias Records. Here I can browse a huge and ever-changing collection of second-hand vinyl records and CDs and always discover something to buy.

Agios Ioannis of the Column

A hidden gem

Agios Ioannis of the Column is one of the most interesting hidden attractions in the center of Athens. The church was built in the 6th century AD, and its sanctuary was formed around an ancient Corinthian column.

Louka Nika Street

A street art gallery

Street art has developed mainly in large urban centres, and Athens is no exception. The Psirri neighbourhood in the city centre is inextricably linked to the history of street art in Athens.

Oliver Nuts and Flavors

Going nuts for taste

Aside from the freshly ground coffee, which is either made on the spot or purchased in bulk to take home, you will find exceptional and always fresh nuts in sufficient variety.

Mets

Athens most charming neighbourhood

Many artists, musicians, actors, and painters have relocated to Mets, giving it a more bohemian feel. There are only a handful of shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants in the area, a fact that creates a more intimate and cosy atmosphere.

Talking Breads

Talking about street food

My favourite burger is the Bacon Mushroom Melt, and my favourite sandwich is the Tika, which is slightly spicy and causes a chain of flavour explosions!

Buho Bruncherie

The ideal place for brunch

The unique pancakes at Buho (sweet and savory) are in my opinion, the best I have tried in the city and the menu has enough options to satisfy all tastes.
