Maraboo Athens
What an ice cream shop!
Marilena from Athens
Maraboo is one of the most famous poems by Nikos Kavvadias, who travelled around the world as a sailorman and wrote about his love for the sea. But it was also the inspiration for our dearest friend Vicky, who opened her own ice cream shop in the super hype neighborhood of Pangrati!
Vicky has had this dream since she was a child—to have a small, cozy ice cream shop where people would come and taste her handmade ice cream. So, one day, she decided to travel to Rome—the heart of ice cream love—and take classes on how to make ice cream. And after that, Maraboo was born!
Dimitris and I visited her and tasted lots of flavors that night: mango, tahini, peanut butter, yogurt, black chocolate, fiori di latte – and believe me, it took us a lot of time to decide which flavor to choose! Apart from ice cream, Vicky also makes sorbet that is really fresh and colorful (like the mango one, which I really really liked!)
Vicky makes different flavors using seasonal ingredients every day. If she asks you if you want to add a biscuit to your ice cream, please say YES! Also note that at Maraboo, they do not use plastic—even the spoons are biodegradable! They also serve ice creams for your dog!
We all scream for Maraboo's ice cream!

La Bella Napoli
Italian pizza like no other
At La Bella Napoli, they make pizza the original Neapolitan way. The dough is thin and tasty, and the tomato sauce has a refined taste. Don't forget the tiramisu!

Babouras
Feel the buzz of Petralona
"Babouras" Athens is a cafe/bar in Petralona that combines the old with the new. My tip would be to bring your camera with you - the light's very pretty.

Au Revoir
Classic and unique
"Au Revoir" is, simply put, the oldest bar in Athens. It opened in 1958 and has been serving classic drinks since then. Even Frank Sinatra paid a visit.

Rema Pikrodafnis
Athenian wilderness
"Rema Pikrodafnis" is one of the few relatively untouched streams in Athens. I love this seemingly abandoned part of it, a symbol of what Greece really is.
