Mrs Dalloway's Athens

You can buy yourself flowers

Asimina from Athens

<strong>About me</strong> I am a designer based in Athens, Greece. I love traveling alone! I've spent time solo in Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, Poland, Spain, Greece and many domestic locations. Traveling alone is a way for individuals to explore new places, cultures, and experiences independently. And at the same time, meet locals and make new friends everywhere. ...
"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!"

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!

House with Caryatids

An urban legend

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.

Zaharias Records

A music lovers' paradise

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

A hidden gem

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.

Louka Nika Street

A street art gallery

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.

Mets

Athens most charming neighbourhood

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.

Buho Bruncherie

The ideal place for brunch

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.
