Just magnificent!.... Efgharisto polee for this....I am guessing this would be early 90s!?.... when I began loving his music with Mitropanos.... Dalaras is from Syros where my best Filo lives with his family and we saw him in concert at the end of summer in Platia Miouli from their office balcony.....Just too much to describe in words.... Kalley Mera!

Any must-try dessert spots in Athens?

I might be heading to Athens this summer, and I’ve already started making a mental list of all the food I want to try—but I feel like desserts deserve their own plan.

I know about some of the classics like loukoumades and baklava, but I’d love to hear about specific spots that are really worth going out of the way for. Whether it’s a traditional pastry shop, a place known for one standout dessert, or even something more modern, I’m open to all of it.

Also curious if there are any places that are especially good in the summer, something refreshing, lighter, or just perfect after a long day walking around the city.
Would love any recommendations or favorites you’ve found!

How much time do you really need at the Acropolis?

It’s been several years since I last visited the Acropolis, and I’m trying to help some friends plan their first trip to Athens. I honestly can’t remember how long I spent there, I just remember being completely absorbed in everything and losing track of time!

They’re wondering how much time to set aside, and I don’t want to underestimate it. I know there’s the main climb, the Parthenon, Erechtheion, and all those sweeping views, plus time for photos and just soaking it all in.

Would you say two hours is enough for a relaxed visit, or does it really take closer to half a day if you include the museum or nearby sites? I’d love to hear what others recommend, especially those who’ve been recently, how long did it take you to see everything without feeling rushed?

Spending a month in Athens in summer?

I’ve visited Athens many times, but always for short trips, a week here, a few days there. Next year, I’m thinking of doing something different: spending an entire month in Athens during the summer.

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s stayed long-term in the city. How different does Athens feel when you settle in instead of just visiting? Do you end up finding a rhythm, favorite markets, cafés, or neighborhoods to hang out in?

I’m considering renting an apartment in Pangrati or Koukaki to live like a local. My only concern is the heat, does it get overwhelming in July or August if you’re not escaping to the islands?

Any insights on pacing daily life, day trips, or how locals spend their summer in the city would be really appreciated.

How walkable is Athens?

I’m thinking about visiting Athens this year and trying to figure out how easy it is to get around on foot. I usually prefer walking when I travel, especially in cities where you can explore neighborhoods naturally without relying too much on transportation.

How walkable is Athens overall? Are the main areas like Plaka, Monastiraki, and the Acropolis close enough to each other to comfortably walk between them, or is it more spread out than it looks?

I’m also wondering where it makes the most sense to stay if I want to rely mostly on walking. Would it still be worth using the metro, or even renting a car, or is that unnecessary for a short trip?

Information About Hadrian's Library

I’ve been to Athens before and have seen the main highlights like the Acropolis, the Agora, and the big museums. On my next trip, I want to dive deeper into the history and explore some of the sites I skipped the first time. One that caught my attention is Hadrian’s Library, near Monastiraki.

From what little I know, it was built by the Roman emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, and at one point it wasn’t just a library but also included lecture halls and courtyards. I love the idea that Athens was still such a vibrant center of learning during the Roman period, and I’d like to understand more about what’s actually left today.

For anyone who has visited: what should I look out for when walking through Hadrian’s Library? Are there details or stories that make the ruins come alive? Any historical context to know beforehand?
