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 ...

Pirée Athens

Art and taste

""Pirée" in Athens' port Piraeus is an interesting cafe/bar with a beautiful live art space. I recommend visiting before heading off to an island!"

Very close to the port of Piraeus a new and very interesting spot has opened. Pirée means Piraeus and has multiple characteristics. You can enjoy your coffee or drink in a live art space with artistic creation and liberation.

Pirée gives young artists the opportunity to express their art, to liberate and experiment on the arts. You will feel all that creative energy as you visit it. The great thing of the combination of these two sites is that one is incorporated inside the other. The coffee bar is not separated from the gallery but instead there is an interaction and communication between them. This means that while you enjoy your drink or eat something there is a chance that a mini performance or show starts right next to you. This experience is excellent, I assure you.

I visit Pirée usually early in the afternoon as there are not a lot of people and I can enjoy my coffee as I observe the artworks. Next time you visit Athens, or before you go to the islands, give Pirée a chance to surprise you.

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...
