Tis the season dear readers (fala-lala-lah-lalah-la-lah!)
Only a few hours away from stuffing my belly with a handful (or 2) of mouth-watering Christmas delicacies and while I am still out of a food-comma, thought to share with you a few interesting facts that make the Greek Christmas a tad bit different (and possibly extra fatty!)
... we decided to branch out a little for Valentine's Day and list some ideas for celebrating love in general, with romantic partners, best friends, and even family. We think everyone could use a little love!
At this time of year, many of us are searching for Christmas gift ideas – either making our own wishlists, bucket lists or trying to find the absolute perfect present for our loved ones... for 2017, all we want for Christmas is experiences, not things! Here's why and here are our Christmas gift ideas (if not wishlist!) for extra inspiration!
Welcome to the Greek version of California: the southern suburbs of Glyfada, Voula and Vouliagmeni, three of the coolest Athens' neighborhoods. These neighborhoods are dominated by locals, so we are here to share with your our insider's guide to Glyfada, Voula and Vouliagmeni; because, dear travelers, your travel experience in Athens would be incomplete without a visit to this part of the Athens Riviera.
‘Christmas in Athens’ - what first comes to mind? Maybe a little confusion? Greece may not seem like an obvious Christmas destination, but just give us a little bit of time to convince you [...] We’ve gathered here for you some of the most unique things to do in Athens over your winter holiday!
Thanksgiving is definitely an American holiday, not a Greek one. BUT hear us out – these days it’s easy to feel discouraged and gloomy about the state of the world. Sometimes we catch ourselves letting negative thoughts get the better of us, so we decided to embrace a Greek Thanksgiving just in time for a quick and easy attitude adjustment.
Often too warm, sometimes rainy, cold and humid, Athens just aims to trick (or treat!) you when it comes to weather during fall. Still, it’s the only capital in Europe where the dilemma can be between ‘beach’ or ‘centre’, even if that’s the end of October. So, mind your packing dear visitors: flip flops, swimsuits, raincoats and boots are all welcome!
