Hello there! 🖐🏻 I'm Alex, currently immersed in my photography studies here in Athens. Originally hailing from the picturesque mountain village of Konitsa, I made the move to Athens four years ago. Now, my mission is to uncover the hidden gems, discover traditional Greek fiestas in the city, and transform this bustling metropolis into a homey haven. Let's talk about our upcoming adventure: Accommodation: We'll be staying in the heart of the city, allowing us to explore every nook and cranny by foot. Our cozy abode will be a shared room in a hostel. The Experience: I'm steering clear of the typical touristy route. Instead, I want to unveil the authentic side of Greece. Prepare for a deep dive into Greek music – rembetika, 60s tunes, and traditional melodies from all corners of the country. Our journey includes visits to historical sites and strolls through neighborhoods shaping today's history. Our destination? The serene Mount Hymettus, where a short hike leads us to a breathtaking viewpoint. A perfect spot to unwind with a drink in hand. Last Day Plans: The last day is a blank canvas. We'll decide together, based on our Athens adventures, what resonates with the group. Below there is a more specific plan of our days in Athens! 📸 As a photographer, I'm more than happy to capture our Athens escapade – let me know if you're interested! 📸 Feel free to share any dietary restrictions or preferences you may have – we've got it all covered!

Kalopoula's refreshment center is a well-kept secret, away from any noise or pollution, but without being difficult to reach from the city center.

Our last day, I want it to be free to decide together! Of course, I can suggest places or activities to do but I want to make this decision together! Some of the things I have in mind are: continue our walking tour, slack line in the park, surf at Vouliagmeni, check some museums etc.
