...and really feels good... Why it wouldn't? With few stops of the tram it seems like you've been transported to a totally different city. Getting off at Edem gives you a chance to start you fabulous walk with an amazingly cold beer in one of the best bars on the Athenian map: Skipper. With its sailor simplicity it offers you tables at the pier just by your boat ( if you have one!). You need only few minutes to start seeing why this place is so popular among Greeks. Cheap and very laid back, two main characteristics of the place bring on the weekend afternoons hundreds of people that are running away from the smog of the city.
Then there's another amazing thing about this place: boats, simply everywhere. The Marina is one of many in Athens but still covers place for thousands of boats and yachts, which in reality are more like ships than boats! But hey, it's crisis so maybe some of them have shrunk! Still, the view is quite amazing!
When you leave the Marina's area it's enough to follow the beach and the sun! The pedestrian path, full of people just enjoying the afternoon as you do, sometimes maybe crazy cyclists speeding around, you can lead you straight to another marina: Flisvos (with more huge yachts, food and people).This time the breathtaking view of the sea against the orange sky had to be enough, till the next weekend. Decided that the steaks and some other delicattessen at home can't wait!
Yes, it is a Jaguar parked between the palm trees! And no, it is not 1960's! |
Yaaa! I remember (minus the jaguar :) !
