Prigkiponisia – Traditional tsoureki bread
By Sofia Skioti
About me
I was born and raised in Paleo Faliro, one of the southern suburbs of Athens. I love Paleo Faliro because it lies on the seaside and the sea is one of my big loves in this life. I spent my early school years in the very center of Athens, Plaka and I think that is when I started to love Athens.
After graduating from the university, during which I travelled a lot around Europe, I left for Lisbon where I stayed for two months and then returned to Athens. I still could not settle and I moved to the Netherlands for my postgraduate studies where I stayed almost 2 years.
I came back a year ago and moved to one of my favorite places in the center of Athens – Thiseio. Living in the center is a must for me because it just makes your life easier: everything is around your neighborhood or within walking distance. Some of the things I like to do other than exploring the city and enjoying the city life are sailing, free camping during the summer and traveling abroad.
Why do I love Athens?
