WELCOME TO ATHENS & BEYOND
I’m Chrysoula, born and raised in Athens. I’m passionate about travel and culture, and above all about my beautiful city. Through the pages of this blog, I want to help you make the very most of your visit to Athens. I’ll show you how to navigate the city like an insider, bring you to the most vibrant and exciting neighborhoods, share culture, mythology, and history, and – not least – show you how to dine and have fun like a true Athenian. Athens is also the ideal gateway to some of Greece’s most amazing destinations I’ll love sharing with you. Thank you for visiting!
