Trabala Studio Athens

Ceramic crafts & tenderness

Marilena from Athens

I was born and raised in the area of Piraeus, the port next to Athens. It’s one of the main reasons I am in love with the sea and industrial places. Since I finished my studies of “Business Administration” (still do not know why I studied something that I dislike!) , I started working at my family run travel agency. Unfortunately , because of Covid we have to close that agency . But t...
""Trabala Studio" is a ceramic studio in Koukaki, Athens that's super-pop and run by two very beautiful people."

My very first thought when I visited Trabala Studio was that this place should be spotted for the Athens blog!

Trabala is a ceramic studio run my two beautiful people - Jenny & Iraklis, who have made this space with love. This is where Jenny makes her handmade ceramic crafts.

If you want to take with you a special souvenir, please take a look at the ceramic donkey; or what about the two small cups where you can enjoy your hot Greek coffee? You have lots of alternatives; you can find the ideal present for your family and friends. And as both Iraklis & Jenny are super friendly they can help you find your way inside their small, beautiful, pop store.

After leaving the place I had a big big smile on my face. I really like it when young people are brave and start their own business. Especially when you understand from the vibe of the place that they really love what they are doing and they are there to share this love!

Votsalakia beach

A beach at downtown Piraeus!

Votsalakia beach is one of my favourite spots to relax near Athens. Enjoy the view, its sports courts, a café, an open pool, and even a summer cinema.

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.
