Mrs Dalloway's Athens
You can buy yourself flowers
Asimina from Athens
Before Miley Cyrus, Mrs. Dalloway (Virginia's Woolf character) bought flowers for herself! Imagine a quaint shop nestled on a bustling street corner of the charming neighborhood Exarchia. The storefront is eye-catching, painted in a warm, inviting shade of buttery yellow, with large windows.
Katerina, the owner, is a friendly florist with an expert eye for design, bustles about arranging bouquets, and offering advice to customers. The shop’s door is painted in pastel green and propped open, inviting passersby to explore the floral treasures inside. The air is cool and moist, a welcome respite from the warm sun outside, and the soft sounds of classical music float through the space, enhancing the tranquil, almost magical vibe. The floor is a charming mosaic of vintage tiles.
When you enter the shop, the scent of fresh flowers wafts through the air, a fragrant blend of roses, lilies, and hints of lavender. The flower bouquets are naturally dried and painted with water-soluble, non-toxic colors. The dried flowers can decorate a space for 1 to 2 years! In addition to dried flowers, you can find room fragrances, natural soaps, scented soy candles, vases, candlesticks, candles for candlesticks, tote bags, notebooks, and many other goodies!

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.
