Something old and something new:)

Despite of a cold to the bones decided to go today for a lovely walk in the centre. Starting at the Acropolis's  foothill went around Plaka, with almost no tourists, and then we reached Monastiraki and Thisio just on time for the Sun to come out from behind the clouds and warm us up.










We were hoping actually to visit Acropolis today, but no surprise it was closed due to an unknown reason...Decided then to do second best, and actually better since avoiding the cold wind on the top, and we went to the 13th floor of Hilton Athens Hotel. Just on time for a beautiful sunset over the city and a distant sea, which thanks to very clear atmosphere and amazing visibility, seemed like next to us. With couple of cold beers we could still enjoy the Acropolis but instead of making a sequel of "Gone with the Wind" we did what Elvis did in Acapulco Hilton!(minus the swimming pool and Ursula Anders;)

Different Xmas perception...

So Xmas Eve there was polish meal and crazy party at the club. Xmas day it was turkey with yummy stuffing  and few glasses of wine. And then the epic moment arrived - it's a seafood day!Officially! Amazing place towards Cape Sounio where the most amazing tavernas are. Shrimps, octopus and greek salad just made our day. With a view at the setting sun, with the calm waters of the sea and with loving people around you...This is what greek holidays are about!

Chris Bar just behind Bazaar!!!:)

Till Thursday this place for me was like a forbidden fruit - guys night only...And I'm so happy that this time the exception was made!An amazing trio have an amazing performance and sand the most classic song there are. It was a pleasure to enjoy the music. To sit back in these fabulous arm chairs that I wish could take back home with me!(maybe one day I will:) and have delicious cold beer!It was very lovely and I recommend this place for anyone wanting to have a break from crowded Nea Smyrni Sq. It's a new place to be!
