Andreas from Athens

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 ...

Giorgio Hatter Athens

For the hat lovers

"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."

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.

Koukouvaya

The destination for dessert

A nice dessert is a perfect conclusion to a satisfying meal or an accompaniment to a delicious coffee. But in Koukouvaya, a cafe in the center of Athens, enjoying an excellent dessert becomes an end goal in itself.

Kimolia

Art cafe in Plaka

"Kimolia" in Athens is a family-owned, all-day cafe hidden in the central narrow streets of Plaka. I love their orange-flavored chocolate...
