I was super happy when I discovered 'Portatif', a little charming Parisian style coffee shop in Kolonaki area, at the heart of Athens.
Have you tasted its Devine croissants?

One of the legendary sites that sits beneath the slopes of the Acropolis on the southwest side, is the stunning open-air theatre, Odeon of Herodes Atticus.
In ancient times, Odeons were built for musical contests and this ancient stone theatre has gone on to host some of the world’s best musical performances during the last 60 years since its modern day re-opening, including Nana Mouskouri, Luciano Pavarotti and Frank Sinatra to name a few.

Be sure to check out their events page for information of performances that are scheduled at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus between May and October

The best time to visit the is in the late afternoon. As close to closing hours as possible. Not only will you see it when it is quieter and the heat of the day is gone, but you will enjoy the fantastic sunset views from up there 🇬🇷
