A Day in Athens – Ruins, Rooftops & Really Good Cake
#cityplaybook
Athens is a city that surprises you—in the best way. One minute you’re standing in front of a 2,000-year-old temple, the next you’re sipping coffee in a trendy café. It’s historic, yes—but also super fun to explore.
The view from the Parthenon? Absolutely stunning. Seeing the whole city stretch out beneath the Acropolis, framed by that deep blue Greek sky, was a serious “wow” moment.
After soaking in the ancient vibes, I wandered into the city’s café scene. My top pick? I CAKE YOU. Cute, colorful, and packed with sweet treats—I may have stayed longer than planned.
In the afternoon, I made my way to the Panathenaic Stadium, home of the first modern Olympics. Standing on that marble track gave me goosebumps—so much history in one place!
Dinner was casual but so satisfying: a cheddar bacon cheeseburger from Goody’s Burger House, a beloved local fast-food spot. Salty, cheesy, messy—in the best way possible.
Why I recommend Athens:
・Where else can you go from ancient temples to dessert cafés in one walk?
・There’s something exciting around every corner—history, food, views, all in one day

From Sunset Bliss to Castle Views: A Taste of Greece’s Hidden Treasures
#europetrip
From the sunlit shores of Zante Island to the historic charm of Nafplio, my Greek journey was a feast for the senses. In Zante, I was greeted by one of the most breathtaking sunsets imaginable—fiery hues dancing across the ocean horizon, leaving an indelible mark on my travel memories.
As I made my way to Nafplio, the town’s allure captured me instantly. Perched majestically above, the Palamidi Castle stood like a guardian of history, offering sweeping views of the town and the sea that stretched endlessly beyond. Exploring this fortress was a step back in time, filled with stories that echoed through its ancient walls.
But the adventure was not just about sights—it was a culinary revelation. Nafplio gifted me with the best Greek grill I’ve ever had: tender, savory, and infused with authentic Mediterranean flavors. To my surprise, I even discovered the best Chinese food I’ve tasted in Greece, offering a perfect taste of home amid my travels.
This trip was a harmonious blend of spectacular sights, rich history, and unforgettable flavors. Greece continues to astonish with its diverse offerings and warm hospitality. If you ever plan a journey that promises awe-inspiring views and unparalleled gastronomy, make sure Zante and Nafplio are on your itinerary.

My Thassos trip 🇬🇷
#myhiddengems
Just got back from a dreamy trip to Thassos, and it was absolutely incredible! 🌿🏖️ This island is a hidden gem in the northern Aegean Sea, and it’s perfect for anyone looking to relax and explore. We spent most of our time at Golden Beach, where the soft sand and crystal-clear water made it ideal for sunbathing and swimming. The best part? No entrance fee—just pure beach bliss! 🏝️ For a little adventure, we visited the Giola Lagoon, a natural rock pool carved out by the sea. It was a bit of a hike to get there, but totally worth it for a refreshing dip in the emerald water.
One day, we drove to the ancient city of Aliki, where the ruins of old temples and marble quarries are free to explore. It felt like stepping back in time! The Monastery of Archangel Michael is nearby, perched on a cliff with stunning views of the Aegean Sea. We also discovered the charming mountain village of Panagia, with its traditional houses, narrow streets, and delicious local sweets. 🧁
Evenings were spent dining at seaside tavernas, enjoying fresh seafood, and watching the sunset paint the sky with shades of pink and orange. 🌅 Thassos is perfect if you love nature, history, and quiet beaches. I’m already planning my return! #trip #Thassos #GreekIsland #BeachEscape #NatureLover #GreekAdventure
The cliffs of Meteora 🇬🇷
#myhiddengems
Visiting the Cliffs of Meteora in Greece was like stepping into a different world! 🏞️ The combination of nature's grandeur and human ingenuity was breathtaking. Located in central Greece, near the town of Kalambaka, Meteora features enormous rock pillars topped with centuries-old monasteries that seem to be suspended in mid-air. There’s no entrance fee to hike around the cliffs themselves, but visiting each monastery costs around €3. I explored a few, like the Great Meteoron and Varlaam, which offered stunning views of the surrounding landscape and a peaceful, spiritual experience. 🏰🙏
The hike up the cliffs was steep and a bit challenging, but the panoramic views from the top were absolutely worth every step. From there, you could see the Thessalian plain stretch out for miles, and the sense of serenity was overwhelming. 🌄 The monasteries themselves are masterpieces of architecture, blending perfectly with the natural surroundings, and the frescoes inside are incredible to see up close.
The nearby town of Kalambaka is charming and full of local tavernas serving delicious Greek food. 🥙 I had a fantastic meal of souvlaki and moussaka, which was the perfect way to end a day of exploration. If you're into photography or just enjoy stunning landscapes, make sure to bring a camera – the views are truly unforgettable. 📸
If you have time, consider visiting the nearby town of Trikala or even taking a day trip to the scenic village of Metsovo in the Pindus mountains. Meteora is a must-see if you find yourself in Greece, combining natural beauty, history, and spirituality into one unforgettable experience! 🌅 #trip #MeteoraGreece #TravelGreece #MonasteryViews #NatureAndHistory #GreekAdventure
