Plateia Proskopon
Past glories
Plateia Proskopon is surely not as hip as Plateia Varnava or other spots in Pagrati but has a unique atmosphere.

Prasini Tenta
The finest and greenest view

Stenopos Kollytos
2nd cen. AD Roman mosaic
"Stenopos Kollytos" used to be a central district in Ancient Athens. Today, this conspicuous Roman mosaic is one of the few surviving traces of it.

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.
