City Travel in Greece
Although Greece is a world wide famous destination because of its idyllic islands, you should have in mind that there are modern cities, ideal for citybreaks all year round. Athens is considered as a stop-by, only because it's needed before you take a boat to the islands, but it has much more to offer and you'll need days to see the most of it.
The Greek capital has stood at the center of the world for thousand of years as a leader in philosophy, history, culture and mythology... and there are innumerable monuments to prove that. Thessaloniki as well... It's the home to the homonym Film Festival and the Internation Trade Fair and the host to many cultural events.
It would take pages and pages to tell you about Patras, Ioannina, Heraklion, Rhodes... so we just mention that here, you'll read some interesting articles concerning the cities of our country as travel destinations.

Santorini has a secret... but we have to share it.
It opened in 2004 and soon became one of the favourite dining spots in Santorini. It is called Metaxy mas which means.. between us, but it is not a secret any more that this restaurant has a rich menu with almost 40 different dishes and appetizers based on traditional Greek cuisine.

Aktaion - Writing gastronomic history since 1922
Like a relay race of three generations; a journey with happy days, sad days, joys, sorrows, wars, Occupation, poverty, hunger, deaths, volcanic eruptions, catastrophic earthquakes, flee for a better life, return, better days, feasts, tourism explosion, financial crises and so on… Everything has been indelibly inscribed on the walls of this small building, Aktaion. I feel grateful that life has given me the opportunity to hold the reins of Aktaion all the way to its centennial.

Astakas restaurant and the Statue of Poseidon in Milos.
The statue of Poseidon, made of Parian marble, was found in 1877 on Milos island, along with a statue of his mate, Amphitrite. The larger than life-size statue depicts the god almost nude, wearing a himation covering the lower part of the body. In his raised right hand he will have held the trident. Next to his right leg is a support in the form of a dolphin. Today, the statue is exhibited at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens city.
Breakfast and brunch at Zaf cafe in Athens.
“Brunch” is both a noun, a verb and way of life. It’s not only an opportunity to eat something nice, but also a way to catch up with friends in the middle of the day. In Athens city we love it for both reasons. We have even discovered an easily accessible spot, perfect for the citibreakers to enjoy a full breakfast or a brunch during their travel in the Greek capital.
