Pagotinia are like mini ice cream cones, and they are super popular in Greece. They're available at pretty much any Greek bakery, and they're a perfect way to cool down on a summer day. They're especially popular with young kids, but I always like to eat them because they help me portion...

Vouliagmeni is about half an hour from Athens by car and is a great place for beachside dining. I find that this area has amazing views and is much less crowded than Athens.
