VILLAGE
THE VACATION
“If you dare to see beyond
Greece’s economically
turbulent time, you will
be rewarded endlessly.”
3. THE ROOFTOP BARS
Scattered throughout the city, the rooftop bars of
Athens are hard to find. Often hidden away and terribly
signposted, each one feels like a secret society for people
in-the-know. They’re buzzing morning, noon and night
and depending on what time you go you’ll get a different
perspective of The Acropolis and the whitewashed city
below. Head to Couleur Locale for the ultimate secret
scene or go to The Roof Garden at Electra Metropolis
to watch an incredibly chic sunset.
4. ANAFIOTIKA
Until recent years the sleepy hillside village of
Anafiotika went by unnoticed by tourists, but now the
secret is out. Located just below The Acropolis hill, this
tiny village is more reminiscent of a rural Greek island
than a capital city. Get lost amongst the labyrinth of
narrow alleyways that connect the whitewashed houses.
5. THE GREEK FOOD
One thing that remains timeless about Athens is the
food. The quality and produce of Greek food in Athens
is just as high as on the islands. Feast on succulent
souvlaki, fresh seafood, mouth-watering mezze,
baked moussaka and tomatoes.
