Choureal Choux & Profiterole
Order just one profiterole to share - insane amount of chocolate and cream; the mini eclairs and lemon meringue eclair are wow.
Diporto Agoras
Old basement taverna: only what the cook makes that day, closes when food runs out. Sardines, beans, bread. Don't miss it.
Ergon House Athens
Restaurant inside a hotel with an olive-tree courtyard - perfect for breakfast and brunch; she loved the exposed brass pipe bathroom design.
Acropolis of Athens
Walk up through Plaka past the Tower of the Winds for the view of the Propylaea and Temple of Athena Nike.
Athens Metro
Metro is punctual and fast; a 24-hour unlimited ticket costs about ~$3.
Roman Agora of Athens
Columned ruins right under the Acropolis - mind-blowing that people live a meter from this history.
K. Mantas
Street shop hung with wicker baskets and lampshades - she wanted to buy everything but wondered how to carry it home.
The Loom Carpets
Vintage Turkish-style rugs and kilims on Adrianou Street in Plaka - hard to choose just one.
Varvakios Agora Central Market
Street fruit market with oranges and pears at €0.99/kilo - prices she couldn't believe compared to Israel.
Cocona Art of Taste
Takeaway tray of gozleme-style stuffed flatbread rolls with spinach, yogurt and red sauce.
Ermou Street
Busy shopping street with the little Byzantine Kapnikarea church in the middle.
Panagia Kapnikarea
Little Byzantine church sitting in the middle of Ermou shopping street.
