Historic Sites in Greece

"Located on the Acropolis of Athens, the Parthenon is a grandiose temple that has become the symbol of Athens and Greece."

"The Benizelos Mansion was once home to the Greek family of the same name – Angelos Benizelos and his wife Syrigi Palaiologina. It is the oldest surviving house in Athens, and dates back to the 18th century. There are only very few of these “konaki” mansions that still stand in Southern Greece today."

"Hidden in a little street of Aigaleo district, you can find a little patisserie that makes fairytales come true. This place is full of students, as its atmosphere makes you feel like a child, with figures of famous fairy tales surrounding you, music from well-known films’ soundtracks and tastes which steal their names from Harry Potter and other teen blockbusters. The hot chocolate and the mud-pie are must-try, and you should accompany the latter with ice cream."

"Map • +30 21 0331 4751 • Nearest Metro: Monastiraki Cute little breakfast and brunch café designed to make everyone feel “at home” by modeling the restaurant after a studio apartment (“spiti mas” means “our home” in Greek). Dine on the patio, in the living room, or in the bedroom; you can even have breakfast in bed. More than just a gimmick, the coffee and food here are excellent – a mix of Greek and international dishes, hearty portions, and plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices."

"If you are looking for a great place for a traditional Greek breakfast, try Spiti Mas, a casual, eclectic café in Athen’s Psiri neighborhood. Our waitress recommended the strapatsada, a creamy Greek version of scrambled eggs with roasted tomatoes and feta cheese. You could also try the “pie”– a large piece of toasted flatbread with your choice of toppings."

"Homey and cozy atmosphere inside Spitimas in Psyrri neighborhood. Delicious bananas and red fruit topped with peanut butter, an all-time favorite!. As the name clearly indicates (“spiti mas” means “our home” in Greek), this place offers a family, homey atmosphere."

"Open since 2015, Mr. Bean serves the gamut of third wave coffee options including flat whites, cappuccinos and pour overs in a corner property with floor-to-ceiling windows. In proper third wave tradition, the team at Mr. Bean roasts beans sourced from South America and Africa at a facility outside the city center. Owned and operated by three friends, this tiny Athens cafe is a good spot to linger over a coffee or two on a sunny day."

"You won’t find the TV character here, but you will find some fantastic in-store roasted beans that blossom into great coffees. The vibe here is very welcoming and can feel like you’re in someone’s living room more so than at a coffee shop!. For espresso lovers, Mr Bean Coffee Brewers does it very well and pair it with one of their tasty pastries."

"At the time of my first visit to Athens in 2016 it was still associated with Kudu Coffee Roasters. This summer I found out they went separate ways and are now roasting under the name Mr. Bean Coffee Roasters. The bean master roasting behind the scenes is Konstantinos Perpinias, who had already worked with Taf during their early beginnings."

"Modern Greece has gone through the Balkan Wars, the two World Wars, a civil war, and a military dictatorship. In all those times of struggle for the people, the rulers sent those who were against them to exile in the Greek islands. This museum focuses on the political exile to the island of Agios Efstratios, collecting items and artwork from political detention and exile camps."

"Εκείνο που δεν φαντάζεσαι είναι τι θα γευτείς, αφού υπάρχει παγωτό και παγωτό. Και το παγωτό του Ice cream Shop είναι από εκείνα που εκπροσωπούν το είδος υπερήφανα, δημιουργώντας νέα δεδομένα στη γευστική σου αναζήτηση. Από το 2013 το Ice Cream Shop στο Μοναστηράκι έχει φέρει στο πιο κεντρικό σημείο της Αθήνας τη λαχταριστή γεύση του γνήσιου ιταλικού gelato που βασίζεται στις ολόφρεσκες και ποιοτικές πρώτες ύλες."
