Giorgio Hatter is one of the few remaining authentic hat shops in the city centre. Its rich history goes back to 1930, when grandfather Georgios Polychronopoulos opened the first hat shop in Kalamata, with the main activity being the manufacture of school hats. A few decades later, in 1978, his son Elias arrived in the city introducing the quality and style of Giorgio Hatter.
Today the company is run by the third generation, George and Vicky, who continue the family tradition. Quality and unique materials, special and simple colors, fashion, and personal style are combined in a large collection of men's and women's hats. At a time when the hat, apart from its practical value, has become an essential element of style, especially for men's heads (Peaky Blinders shows a clear preference for trayaskas!), Giorgio Hatter offers many options: trayaskas, hats, jockeys, berets and caps come to warm and beautify.
The owners are always happy to help with combinations to suit everyone's personal style. You can choose a straw hat if you visit Athens in summer or one of the warmer hats if you come in winter. You can also choose a special hat box that can be used not only to store our favorite hats but also as part of the decoration of the home or office.

Votsalakia beach is one of my favourite spots to relax near Athens. Enjoy the view, its sports courts, a café, an open pool, and even a summer cinema.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

A well-cooked pita, a juicy burger, tomato, and onion are a unique and tasty combination. It is the epitome of delicious simplicity.

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!
