About me
About me
I was born in Koln, grew up in northern Greece, studied in Crete and finally landed in Athens for work reasons in 2006.
For up to 6 years now I've worked in the music industry and I have attended over 500 concerts throughout the Attica. My friends consider me as a very sociable person, although I am not sure about it... What I am sure of is that I am a restless spirit that loves to go around a lot and discover new places all the time. I'm curious to explore every door… and most of the time I find something very interesting behind it ;-).
Why Athens?
Athens has great weather and so many different types of people. Everyday something new happens in some neighborhood. You can always find something new to explore.
At the same time Athens has an ugly face that you hate, but you can't ever leave this town. History, culture, sun, sea, food, nightlife and many more are the inspiration to keep loving and exploring Athens.
My spots (33)
Stoa tou Vivliou
Culture in the heart of Athens
At "Stoa tou Vivliou" in Athens you can find and visit many publishing houses - it's the 'book arcade'. I like it because it's intellectual & alternative.

Fouar
An oasis in the heart of Athens
"Fouar" is an oasis located in the heart of Athens. This restaurant is where the aesthetic of the '60s meets Asian cuisine and contemporary art. Love it!

Laterna of Mr. Spyros
Sounds like old Athens
The "Laterna of Mr. Spyros" can be found at the beginning of Ermou street. Its tunes always remind me of my childhood. Thank you, Mr. Spyros!

Noel
You better watch out!
At "Noel" in Athens it feels like Christmas all year round - this bar is just so very happily and elegantly decorated. Tip: try their exquisite cocktails.

Avli
A backyard full of taste
"Avli" in Athens ('backyard') is kind of a secret restaurant. The scenery reminds me a bit of the '60s, what the city must have looked like back then...

Damigos Toys
The oldest toy store of Athens
"Damigos Toys" in central Athens is still at the same spot where it first opened in 1925. Going in there makes me feel like I'm in my childhood room again.
