There are always dishes of the day in addition to the set menu, so no two visits to Mandragoras are ever the same. And kontosouvli is always available.

It does not matter what you order when you visit Mouries because everything is made with the same care (however, my favorite dish here is the meatballs).

Every time I cross Evripidou Street, I am overwhelmed by the aroma of cinnamon, pepper, and oregano, and images of Eastern bazaars come to mind.

My two favorites are Sfakianopita with honey and the famous Dakos. Every plate is cooked in olive oil with lots of rosemary.

"Koukaki", the neighborhood in the center of Athens, is my favorite neighborhood anywhere in the world! Just come explore -- you won't regret it...

"Plateia Nerou" in the Athens waterfront at Faliro is one of my favorite location for walking, cycling, relaxing, also used for great concerts & festivals.

"Prigkiponisia" is one of my favorite pastry shops in Palaio Faliro, Athens. They're well known for their tsoureki bread & ice cream

"Pazari Rakosyllekton" is the Athens Scavengers Market. It has an oriental feeling and it's a good idea for getting cheap, used souvenirs here!

"The Clumsies" in Athens - my personal 'love at first sight'. This bar is different: let the world-class bartenders charm you with their cocktails...

"Melanthiou street" used to be an Athens street where drug addicts frequented - now it's a cyclist's joint, full of refreshing bars and creative studios.

"Stani" (est 1931) in the centre of Athens is a little patisserie that offers milk products like yogurt and rice pudding. I love its sweet galaktompoureko!
